The initiatives that we articulate from the Barichara Regenerative Foundation are preparing to receive, from 24 to 28 February, the visit of 40 people from the five continents who work in the regeneration of vital ecosystems of the planet in a bioregional way or who are in the process of organising themselves to do so.
The Design School for Regenerating Earth is leading this immersion whose focus is to gain clarity among all participants on how to engage the local community in the different bioregions to move towards the regeneration of the world's ecosystems. Barichara will serve as an example to analyse strategies that can be replicated in other bioregions, promoting a global regeneration network.
For five days, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the regenerative processes that are part of the Foundation and that are carried out in places such as the Moncora Biopark, Sueños del Bosque, the Origen del Agua Reserve, the demonstration Syntropic Plots, Casa Común and the Caney Colibrí. Each of these spaces is a living testimony to how collaboration between communities can lead to innovative solutions that transcend borders. Through guided walks, conversations and reflections, they will seek to articulate new forms of engagement with the regeneration of the planet.
Beyond a simple tour, this immersion is a collective learning exercise, a unique opportunity to rethink our role in protecting the Earth. Barichara opens its doors as a living laboratory, inspiring other regions to join this movement of planetary regeneration.
