Entrepreneurship is uniquely positioned to usher the transformation our world desperately needs.

The Regenerative Journeys Retreat is for people who seek to expand their consciousness to make a significant impact on the world through systems and self transformation. What we’re offering is a different way of seeing and being.

This event is for people asking:

  • How can I become more viable and non-displaceable?

  • How do I generate ROI from integrity and wholeness, without compromising?

  • How can we reimagine viability (growth, returns) in a way that expresses the core of who I am and advances true wealth?

In this one-day retreat, participants will excavate their zone of genius, awaken to live and work from a regenerative, living systems paradigm, and connect with a curated community of fellow entrepreneurs.

Evolving Business as Usual

The current model of entrepreneurship produces outsized suffering and waste that we believe is unnecessary. For every unicorn, there are an untold number of companies that don't survive in the high-pressure traditional startup model. Behind every “failed” company are real humans, families, communities, and natural resources. The high-cost, unsustainable model of entrepreneurship is beginning to evolve.

We support edge-walking entrepreneurs as they establish new norms for society to operate from.

Co-Founder & Board Chair, The Holon Institute

Joel is a social philosopher, futurist, and burgeoning poet whose work aims to cultivate depth and circularity in the shallows of western culture’s linear meaning economy. In his cross-sector work, he practices "applied imagination" – a way of being, doing, and becoming that transcends disciplanary bounds – to concieve, incubate, and scale ideas conducive to an emergent future in which all life on earth exists in right relationship to both the parts and the whole of existence. Joel is a passionate champion of corporate heterodoxy and speaks globally about the critical role of human imagination and shared grief in shaping our collective future.
