About Regeneration Pollination
Who?
Regeneration Pollination is coordinated by a team of volunteers interested in weaving the network of regeneration changemakers, promoted by a fantastic group of Partners, and inspired by Regeneration Spotlights.
What?
Regeneration Pollination plays a very specific role to help realize that future. It nurtures and connects regenerative explorers, doers, and explainers enabling a powerful ecosystem of change.Regeneration Pollination is a service that helps identify regenerators, promote their activities, connect them with other regenerators, gather energy from each connection, and scurry off to share that energy with another group. Think of this growing network as a generous fungus helping the flow of nutrients reach a bigger, healthier ecosystem.
Why?
For you: Regeneration Pollination is an opportunity to find and strengthen your community. You will find other people excited about what you're excited by who have contacts or ideas that will inspire you and who will be cheering for you to be successful. These are your peeps.
For our regenerative future: Creating a regenerative future implies that people around the globe imagine and then achieve abundance by understanding, participating in, and strengthening living systems. It will require a large number of people exploring what this means, testing how to do it, and then sharing the possibilities so that learning and enthusiasm spreads.
How?
In network theory terms, Regeneration Pollination connects two people (two nodes) creating an “edge” multiple times during each event. 25 people who attend a Regeneration Pollination event, on average, each will meet 5 people in 1-on-1 break-out sessions, creating or strengthening 125 edges. Regeneration Pollination helps to create network effects for regeneration - the value of the network goes up faster than the number of nodes.
These connections are important because they support flow of resources. Regeneration Pollination does two things. First, just like a mycorrhizal network connects individual plants together to transfer water, nitrogen, carbon and other minerals it connects people together to facilitate the bi-directional transfer of many resources including knowledge, opportunities, jobs, money, trust, experiences, and enthusiasm. The more we connect, the bigger a network resources flow to, the more value we create.
Second, it delivers a concentrated boost of nutrition to its regenerative hosts - it redistributes the energy it gathers through its past activities and focuses attention on the next partner, topic, or host. Check out Spotlights to feel that energy.
