Why?

Humans are creatures shaped by stories, moved by emotion and paralyzed by statistics. If the dominant narrative is painting picture after picture of post-apocalyptic worlds recovering from wars, AI invasions or global pandemics, then that is the future we will all manifest. 


Where we focus grows because it is the image in our heads and collective consciousness. We need a better story for the future of humanity and a path to get there. That is what this work represents.

What?

The Regenerative World Quest aims to co-create a scalable model for regenerative living by identifying, showcasing, and replicating best practices globally. Combining indigenous wisdom, modern innovations, and regenerative tools, the Quest seeks to craft a blueprint for shared prosperity on a healthy planet.

Over three years, it will explore 20-30 leading regenerative sites, delivering a replication manual, a documentary or docuseries, and an implementation plan with demonstration projects. Solutions will be community-led,
place-based, and interconnected through a global network, with pilot projects incubated at Colorado's Yellow Barn Farm during travel breaks.

The Regenerative World Quest aims to co-create a place-based replication model for regenerative living. By honoring indigenous wisdom, and modern innovations, the Quest seeks to uplift and replicate best practices globally to craft a blueprint for shared prosperity on a healthy planet.


The three year Quest will explore 20-30 leading regenerative sites, based on a 14 point evaluation criteria. It will deliver a replication manual, a docuseries episode on each quest site, and an implementation plan anchored with demonstration sites. Solutions will be community-led, place-based, and interconnected through a global network. Pilot projects will be incubated at the Yellow Barn Farm in Colorado and replicate from there.

How?

While there are pockets of regenerative, intentional, and sustainable living all over the world, there is no one place (yet) that has all the necessary ingredients, people, governance or systems to not only sustain life in the twenty second century and beyond, but also to support life to thrive during the transition. Through a robust blend of research, immersive experiences, partnership, content creation, documentation the Regenerative World Quest will produce a book, docuseries, replication model and demonstration projects.
