What is REGENS UNITE?
Regens Unite stands as a beacon for those passionate about regeneration. We are a collective that champions the growth of a “glocal” permaculture community, offering platforms for knowledge exchange, connection, and unity across diverse sectors.
What we do:
- Intimate & Intentional Event Curation - With a team of experienced facilitators, we organise inclusive, participatory events.
- Facilitation & Programming Services - We support other events through programming partnerships, facilitation training or consulting, and marketing.
- Educational content - We produce digital media such as after-movies, session recordings, a newsletter, & a handbook to share learnings and support a growing regen network.
Why did we decide to build it?
The planet’s challenges have passed the point where sustainable goals will suffice. They need to be met with regenerative solutions.
Regens Unite was conceived to address this shift, providing a space for diverse sectors to collaborate, ask new questions, and develop holistic, regenerative solutions.

Previous Outcomes:
Our event in Brussels, May 2022, set the stage, highlighting the demand for such regenerative spaces. This success catalyzed the “GLOCAL” movement, connecting global regens through localized events and stories.
Since then we have initiated 13 events in different locations, grown a Telegram group of 600+ regens, and formed a small, distributed team passionate about advancing a regenerative future.
We have a growing pipeline of requests from event organizers across the world to work with our brand and grow the movement, and we are continuing to build a support structure around this.
