What Is Regenaissance?
The Regenaissance is a distributed network of interactive micro-festivals focused on regeneration, creativity, and community.
Each fair:
Is locally led and globally connected.
Stays human-scale, not massive.
Blends art, music, food, learning, and hands-on regenerative innovation.
Every fair is designed as a
positive-trace event:
it leaves the land, relationships, and local culture better than before.
Who This Is For
Ideal collaborators:
Locations
Land stewards, farms, retreat centers, eco-villages, creative campuses.
Organizers
Event planners, producers, facilitators, logistics coordinators.
Creators
Musicians, performers, visual artists, builders, makers.
Regeneration practitioners
Farmers, builders, healers, educators, technologists.
Storytellers
Filmmakers, photographers, podcasters, social media creatives.
Shared qualities:
Care for land, people, and culture.
Desire to host or support meaningful, life-giving gatherings.
Curiosity about interactive, regenerative solutions that people can touch, test, and experience.
Why Now
The moment:
Many people are burned out on extractive, commercial festivals.
There is deep hunger for experiences that are grounded, hopeful, and real.
Communities want living examples of what a regenerative future looks and feels like.
The opportunity:
There is a need to connect existing regenerative projects and creative hubs into a coherent story.
We offer a repeatable, adaptable festival pattern that any aligned group can make their own.
We will use 2026 to prototype, refine, & then launch a wave of regenerative micro-festivals together.
