Episode 19 - Gregory Landua on Building the Bridge Between Finance and Regenerative Projects

Tricia Stapleton & Iris Nekeman work in the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica, to help build community, how to activate people to support themselves and build an ecological resilient life. They help bridge the local peoples with the expats, they work to liberate the financial strangleholds of capitalism to rebuild local life with more commons based models and to utilize the collective and the networks restore nature and land. https://medium.com/@chirripohomegrown/list/3f14c23a5a32 Interviewed by Alpha Lo

In this episode, Andy Wildman continues his conversation with Paul Cereghino, on Restoration Camping in the Salish Sea area, in the Pacific Northwest of the USA.In this second half of the conversation, they talk about how such a project is created and how it proceeds along highly uncertain lines.They talk about the limits to responsibility, about whole-systems design thinking for ecological culture creation, about the need for a toolkit for working with human systems, how we might de-institutionalise the process of restoration, and working with complexity over time to an emergent purpose. If you haven't yet heard Part 1, please check out Episode 23.

In this episode, Andy Wildman speaks with Paul Cereghino about his recent work in the Salish Sea area of the Pacific North-West of the USA, to develop something he loosely calls Restoration Camping. In contrast to Paul's day job—restoration ecology with the US Government— this engagement with landscape is small-scale and intimate, warmly satisfying for those involved, and richly nuanced in its meaning-making and its cultural potential. It aspires, humbly but directly, to seed something important for the future.Join us for Part 1 of this rewarding conversation. (Part 2 soon to be released.)

In this episode, Sarah Woodrow, Clare Atwell and Niels Devissher talk about the Earth Regenerators Culture Center. They investigate the role of art, in the form of paintings, stories and beyond, for society and community and how we can foster artistic expression to help strengthen group identity. The Culture Center on the Earth Regenerators Mighty Networks is supposed to be the hub for further discussions and their artistic products, so come join them there if you have something to share.

In this episode, Andy Wildman interviews Rachel Olson and Todd Youngblood about a recently developed funding system, based around an app developed specifically for the Earth Regenerators community. The system is called Vivero, and it’s the result of many months’ hard work by a dedicated team within ER.The vision behind Vivero is to find a way to help resource the various and wonderful regenerative efforts of our members, and fund the costs of holding this community together, while doing it in an ultra-human and regenerative fashion. The perennial challenge of resourcing work that is so far outside the mainstream will always be difficult, but Vivero holds one of the keys for transforming our lives and unfolding our collective potential. Together, Rachel, the visionary behind Vivero, and Todd, the tech steward who did so much to make it happen, tell the story of how it came together and what it means to them.

In this episode, Alpha Lo speaks with Francina Dominguez. She is a hydroclimatologist that studies the interplay between various parts of our water systems from clouds to ground water to wind patterns and their impact on our climate. Alpha and Francina talk about moisture hopping and how wind transports water inland in varying patterns depending on different surface profiles, which are heavily impacted by humans through deforestation for example, and Francina's modeling work and the counter-intuitive conclusions it has lead her to. Enjoy!Alpha Lo is on a mission to better understand and then restore water cycles around the world.

In this episode, Jakob Seidler is talking with Gregory Landua, co-founder of RegenNetwork. RegenNetwork provides on-the-ground project leaders a way to create their own ecocredits based on changes in measurements of their own choice, from water quality to biomass of a certain species to square meters covered by forest and sell them on a marketplace. Why is this important for global regeneration? That is what Jakob and Gregory get into, following Gregory's journey from studying environmental science to the permaculture design space to deciding to change humanity's value and exchange systems into the web3 world.

Tannia Falconer and Cecy Restrepo are two regenerative leaders who work to spread syntropic agroforestry practices throughout the greater Barichara territory. They are also outspoken advocates for veganism as a means of cultivating greater regenerative outcomes for people, the planet, and animals. To promote veganism Tannia has founded a company called Mettā Vegana to be found on Facebook and Instagram. In this episode, Tyler Hruby discusses with them their time in Barichara, syntropic agroforestry, spirituality, and how they see veganism as the thread connecting all their work. Tannia and Cecy are two truly warm souls who fully embody their regenerative life philosophy. We hope you enjoy getting to know them and their work better in this episode of the Earth Regenerators podcast.Tyler Hruby is following his intellectual curiosity, exploring the overlapping nature of personal, social, and environmental regeneration.This podcast is a decentralized platform for the regenerative community.

In this episode, Jakob Seidler and Steven Morris are talking with Will Ruddick, founder of Grassroots Economics in Kenya, where he has lived for the last 14 years. Grassroots Economics has helped develop communities design their own value flow systems around the world and thereby helped thousands of small businesses, churches and schools take an active role in their own economy and development. After transitioning from paper ledgers to centralized digital infrastructure, they have now chosen to use an open-access, blockchain based approach to help communities implement the results of a their design process into a local currency/voucher system within days. We talk about all that and most importantly: the role of trust in fostering community.
