Year program – Building the alternative
๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ข๐ You have a deep desire to create a place where you can connect with others, immersed in nature, and build something meaningful together. You are in the dreaming phase, nurturing a vision of the kind of place you want to bring to life, knowing the theme around which you’d like to gatherโwhether itโs food, living, co-working, or meetingโand where you want to realize it, be it in the Netherlands or abroad. Youโve already begun the journey but find yourself struggling to make progress, feeling the weight of doing it alone. What you need is the space and support to transform your ideas into action, to move beyond the dreaming phase and start creating something real. Youโre ready to step into that next phase, not just thinking about what could be, but actually making it happen. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ ๐จ๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ

This unsettling truth highlights the profound grip that capitalism has on our collective imagination. But as we see environmental crises and social inequalities and growing around us, itโs clear that we urgently need to rethink and rebuild our systems. We believe that the path forward is not just about tearing down the old, but more about nurturing the seeds of what could be. The alternative. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐? How we view it as the Re/generatie, the alternative is an ongoing process, of experimenting and co-creating. People feel increasingly โuprootedโ in a world where the traditional model of lifeโbuying a house, working separately from home, and living in isolationโno longer fits. There is a longing for a deeper connection. Not just with other humans, but also with non-human species, the soil, local organizations, companies and families. It can have a profound effect on the well-being of this group and enhance their relationship with their environment. This shift from individualism to collectivism is crucial in addressing the current ecological crises and fostering synergy among diverse groups working together. Fortunately, there is a hopeful narrative with a future-proof action perspective: regeneration. Thatโs why we launched this year-program! For the ones that want to build on the regenerative alternative of being together. You are very welcome! For questions, email to community@regeneratie.org.
