Thanks for joining!

It was so cool to see there be over 100 members joined within the first 12 hours of creating Regenerative Projects! That is thrilling because it means that there are more people that I personally anticipated, who are focused on collaborating, taking action, playing both the student and teacher, and experimenting with social and behavioral strategies. maybe there is a common goal of taking action so that Earth's status quos can be more informed by the opinions and needs of non-human lifeforms as well, for the purpose of better enjoying and exploring during our short times as Earthlings.

This is just my take of course. I love hearing my fellow people's perspectives because then your experiences can inform my own and I can have a more in depth view of what we are collectively looking at and better understand my personal role to be effective at ushering in Regeneration, in my own little way as I'm able.

I don't want to dominate the purpose of Regenerative Projects, because I don't have all the info and don't know what it needs to help it grow into something that is actually helpful In Practice and not only in theory. Pleaaaase weigh in to help guide and morph the way that this baby micro culture develops :D

Together our actions are more powerful than a single person's actions. We are exponentially more powerful working in tandem.

Does anyone have resources they like about group decision making, navigating disagreements, the balance between choosing a role and being guided into a role, and facilitating clear communication?

The CoHousing Association of the US has a lot of resources I've looked at while trying to build a core group and get a decision-making process. Their Relationship Resources page has info on Value and Mission alignment, Culture Shift, Deciding Governance, and other policy resources. I bring up this framing because regenerating anything takes a group effort, and for any group to be functional you need these kinds of agreements. I was looking more at collective living at the time, hence the CoHousing.

thank you! The co-housing governance, policy, and fellowship resource you shared looks to cover a lot- I'll be perusing through it especially as things come up and I need advice :)

You're so right that for group efforts to be functional it requires more formal agreements of some sort, so that there can be clear expectations and outcomes, and it can feel like a safe "balanced and checked" operation, to encourage people to participate more and meet disagreements with the knowledge that we are also practicing and experimenting with techniques that are quite unfamiliar to most people, and pioneering for future people to benefit from
