Snippets

here we go, ladies and gentlemen, happy birthday
everybody let's grow in the chat box got him right to show up again
And yeah, thinking about how we can regenerate,
how we can support, whether it be local farmers
and things like that, and try to buy all the ingredients
locally for the food supplies and add to the space
so that, yeah, after, if we move it to any location,
that the place is, like you said, better off.
Like, that's definitely the regen way.
So I feel like there's a lot of different definitions
of regeneration or refi, and I think Regions United
is really kind of mastered, I guess, how to onboard
or communicate some of these concepts.
So I'm curious to know how you would go about doing it.
How would you explain what refi or regeneration
more broadly is and what it means?
Yeah, how does Regions United do that?
I know when I was at some events that we kind of
are encouraged to come up with our own definitions,
but yeah, maybe there is different ones out there
that you commonly would use.
Yeah, yeah, I cannot give a definition
of regenerative finance of refi, I cannot do that,
I'm not gonna do that.
I can try to give a sense of what is regeneration,
and what I mean when I use the word Regions United,
because Regions clearly is like a reference to regeneration,
and I think regeneration here is, or Regions,
everybody out there who is in some way reflective
about how we work, how we live, how we eat,
how we spend hard time, all of that,
being very reflective and conscious about
how is this cyclical, how is this in line with nature?
Am I not damaging anything?
Am I restoring things?
Am I healing in a way?
Am I giving in a way?
Am I not only extracting, right?
So all these thoughts, and I know that that's a lot,
because Regions United is an umbrella,
the meta, but then without a double T, a meta community.
So it's uniting all these people that are in some way
rethinking how we work, live, do things, eat,
yeah, all these things.
So that can be from politics to philosophy
to agriculture to creators, designers, facilitators,
teachers, all of these, maybe people that are healers,
people that are working on body consciousness,
yoga people, all these people can be Regions,
because they can be conscious about how we do things
and we think that.
For me, that broad term is a region and regeneration,
it has to be with consciousness,
and it's a very cyclical, it's not a straight line,
oh dear, it's not a straight line.
It can go in very negative spirals and then you die,
and then the aspect of letting something die,
is so much part of regeneration.
Like, this is not working, I really have to let go,
or going through that cycle and having rebirth,
all that, that consciousness about being nature
and having, you know, one more thing
and then I'm gonna shut up.
No, please, I'm loving this, continue.
But one more thing is, we are humans,
and you know, we come from a time
and from a couple of centuries where separation has been,
or the, you know, the separation between the body
and the mind has been one of the main,
you see it in our democracy,
the decisions in our society are made by, with our heads.
Yeah, right?
The human aspect of it is very far away.
What impact do our decision have on real people?
Have we listened to these people?
Right, so the main narrative is, has been separation,
reconnecting those two and fully realizing
that to be human is to be part of nature, to be nature,
and nature has a destructive side as death,
as well as rebirth and regeneration.
You can see it in the cycles all around us.
There is the seasons, right?
In the Northern hemispheres, we have seasons.
We see it happen every year.
It's as a fractal in so many living systems.
So reconnecting to that and rediscovering
that is regeneration.
Humans are regenerative.
And one of the reasons why I left Extinction Rebellion,
for example, is because I could not,
as a system, deal anymore with the constantly focusing
on the destruction and the telling others to change.
I see the full value of it and I'm cheering for them.
I'm like, please, please go tell, no,
ring the alarm bell.
This has such an important function in the society
and in the best part of regeneration,
but I could not do that anymore.
I needed to embrace building,
reinventing myself, reinventing structures,
regenerating structures as part of the story.
So yeah, to be human is to be regenerative.
To be human is to destroy and to be human is to be reborn again.
We both have them.
We are humans, so we both have that in us.
To be human is to be destructive and to be born again
and all the things and regenerative.
Yeah, there are many aspects of human nature.
Do you think that that's,
like you spoke about letting go, healing,
and do you think that that's something that's necessary
for people to change is like,
instead of saying, hey, do this like you're saying
with the Extinction Rebellion and like,
just being in people's face,
like sitting in front of cars and things like that,
it's better to have this kind of deeper introspective
as you're talking about consciousness
and you're talking about being,
this is like inner work for us to become regenerative
as humans for us to let go of what's happened in the past.
Is that what you're hoping will happen during these events
or is that something that's gonna continuously happen?
It's like a lifelong thing and how does that unfold?
Oh, that would be so easy to me if you were to say,
today I'm gonna spend my day regenerating
and then it's done.
But I think like, and also I don't have answers.
I only have questions.
So I don't know if what I do is better
than what Extinction Rebellion is doing.
It is, if you look at it from the zoom out a lot,
like it's all necessary.
And I think that is the key.
That is the key to just like slow down, slow down, rest.
Sit with yourself.
Sit with yourself, right?
What's happening there?
What is happening there?
Only that is region that's,
and they call it inner work, right?
And you have a lot of models and a lot of,
but actually it's just being.
It's just being and receiving life basically.
Letting life come to you instead of chasing it.
You could call that inner work, yeah.
But it's a way of being.
I myself like discovered Vipassana a couple of years ago.
It's a meditation technique.
And it asks of you to sit 10 days and complete silence.
And then you get a course
on how to do the Vipassana technique meditation.
Well, there you learn how to sit with yourself.
I can tell you that.
And you also learn,
gives you fit for 13 hours on a map
to learn how to get the technique to meditate.
Now you meet yourself a couple of times there.
And you also learn how the only law
in nature is change basically.
So being, to be is to change, right?
It's not a passive state.
Being is actually the active
because the action that you take comes from a deeper being.
And if you integrate that into your day
and generative practice like going for a run
or going for a walk in the forest
or everybody has to find a gardening, cooking.
It can be anything,
but something really that has to do with the hands
or the body.
Although I like reading a lot too,
but it's all those practices will bring you closer
to being and resting and sinking into a peacefulness.
Yeah, being peaceful so that you can show gratitude
and focus on the good things in life
on the giving, the giving love and sunshine to others.
So yeah, that's for sure, yeah.
It kind of reminds me of this saying
of when you fill up your own cup
and it can then overflow,
then you're able to make a lot more meaningful impact
for others, right?
A lot of people maybe are trying to go deep head first
into trying to save the world
when there's a lot of inner work
that still needs to be done
to be able to level up and do that.
So how do you think,
so we've spoken about meditation.
We've spoken about human connection
and how we can facilitate these discussions
during the events.
Are there other tools like for off events?
Like you said, it's not a one-time thing
going to the events and having a complete transformation.
It's a process that does take time.
So what other things do you recommend?
Are there any post-event recommendations
that the people kind of keep up some of this work
and continuously thrive to that?
Or what are some of the recommendations
that you tend to give to people
in addition to meditation, Pasna?
Yeah, I think our recommendations.
What worked very healing for me is finding community.
And feeling useful in a community
is very underestimated as a powerful healing mechanism.
I see a lot of people around me looking for community.
So, and it can be very,
like I'm part of quite a few communities
from a cooperative supermarket here in Brussels
where we have to do three-hour shifts every month
to be part of that community.
These very small things are very real contribution
to something that you carry together.
And that has a very healing power.
We've set up a community center here in Brussels as well,
the Citizen Corner, although we had to stop it now.
We're looking for another building
because it was a temporary occupation.
So the owner of the building has started construction work,
but also they're like cooking for that community.
Doing something for somebody,
something real, very, very, very real, very real.
It's very healing.
I always see in Regents United, the more we,
the more we, the more community, the more me.
Because we very often have this thing that,
you know, when you don't feel well, you're depressed,
you know, go heal, you know, do your inner work, you know,
and then come back to the community.
Well, it's the opposite.
It's the opposite.
It's the community and the finding the community,
finding your role, finding your purpose.
In that community,
that can be just as well doing the dishes.
It's very key that we feel the power of contributing
by doing the dishes in the community
or cooking food is so healing.
It's so resting.
And finding comfort in very manual work,
like cleaning a building together,
like it can be so much fun.
You just put the music on and you just clean the building
and it's for everybody to do it.
I think this for me is very much part of regeneration
as well, finding myself again in my role in these communities.
Yeah, that gives fulfillment too, right?
Like you're a part of something bigger than yourself
and this can be your community.
This can be, you know, in the environment.
It could be the whole planet or something.
It's more tangible right in front of you.
Friends, we're officially past the halfway point.
I'm glad we got Solar Roof up here.
Richard's raised his hand.
Anyone in the audience, feel free to come up.
Just tap the mic in the bottom left
and we want to hear from you, ladies and gentlemen.
Shimon up, questions, queries, comments.
We can turn this into a discussion
around what can happen when regens unite.
Go ahead, Solar Roof.
Oh, hi, Jimmy.
Great to be here.
You have such wonderful guests, Jimmy.
Lean, I'm so happy to listen and hear about your journey.
So where I'd like to expand a little bit
on what you're so complex, what you're putting forward.
It's almost difficult to create that engagement here.
So for healing and for connection with nature,
I think that there's one area
that would be extremely helpful
and that is our connection with water.
And I think in terms of meditiveness,
in terms of, well, plants as well, definitely,
and sunlight, right?
Water has a very important healing function, I think.
And so I just wanted to say,
I'd love to connect with you more
about what you're doing and creating healing spaces,
which is really part of what I do.
For example, we say,
make a small space to make the world a better place.
It's like the dwelling place,
the place where we sit,
the place where we meditate
or when we connect with nature.
We need to do more to our architecture.
We need to do more to bring nature
into our built environment.
And this is my focus.
So I'd love to work with you in those directions.
That would be possible.
We have one product we're recently creating,
which is really a pyramid.
And by the way, I'm very open source,
committed to open source now for 20 years as an inventor.
A pyramid structure that anyone can build as a DIY,
very simple out of pipe and pipe fittings.
I call it my pipe dream.
This is something a little bit new.
I don't think, Jimmy, I've actually shared
that with you either.
But so build yourself a little platform under a pyramid
and you're actually over water.
So beneath you is a pool of water, right?
So in a pyramid over a pool of water
with sunlight coming through
because the cover we put on it's transparent.
So if you bring all those factors together, okay,
we can bring the plants in there
and we can do other things,
but even just the human experience of occupying space
in which we invite water to be in the proximity.
Maybe that will resonate with you.
I'd like to explore that.
Yes, do I have to picture this as in real life pyramid,
like a real structure?
Yeah, an actual, like a tent, a little,
we call it pyro tent because pyro is pyramid, right?
Pyro tent.
You know, like what it reminds me of,
like when we first moved in into Brussels,
we lived in Skarbeek,
which is a neighborhood community in Brussels.
And we have a house with a garage,
but we don't have a car.
So what we did is we are a bit rebels, right?
We were in an extinct rebellion and I loved it,
to be honest, like I loved the activist
and the rebellion side of it.
Like it was like, you know, so, so exciting.
And this little bit of the activist vibe was still in us
where they moved into that house, garage.
We didn't have a garden in the backyard.
So what we did is we put a little garden in front
because the 12 square meter of asphalt
that was in front of our garage,
no car could park there, right?
Because it was our garage.
So that was an unused space.
And what we did, we put a garden in there.
And if you want to read the story,
because my God, did that become a story?
You can find it on Twitter.
It's called the Citizen Garden.
And yeah, and then it's until the COVID hit,
we started planting and then we invited the neighbors.
We were new in that neighborhood.
And in no time it became this tiny community garden.
And we had a little bench and we would sit there
and have a coffee after lunch.
It was outside, no garden in the backyard.
So why not use the space in front of us?
In no time you knew the whole neighborhood.
The commune, of course, was not so very happy
with this little structure in front.
Like, what are you doing?
You're occupying the public space.
You're privatizing the public space.
So we got some letters and we were like,
no, you must be mistaken, right?
Like, this is not, we're not privatizing.
This is a community garden.
It's not a car.
I don't have the key to that car next,
you know, that is parked next to it.
That's a private car occupying the public space.
Like ours is a community garden anyway.
We ended up in a whole discussion with the commune.
And one morning it was gone.
So our neighbor takes us, where's the garden?
What do you mean, where's the garden?
We were not even awake.
We look out of the window, it's gone.
So the commune had come with a huge truck
and they had kidnapped our community garden, you know,
and they brought it to the other side of the commune.
And then of course the neighborhood like,
was like, hey, where's the garden?
This cannot happen.
So there was another neighbor who helped
and we went all the way.
They put it at the waste disposal and kept growing.
We went there and we actually turned a trailer
into a hand cart because in the Belgian law,
we found the hack.
In the Belgian law, you cannot put a trailer on the street,
but you can put the hand cart.
It's like a 19th century law that they forgot to remove.
So we went to pick up that little garden.
We put it on the hand cart.
We, you know, we took it all the way back,
one and a half kilometers through the streets of Brussels.
We put it back in front and then of course, yeah.
And it was there for two more years,
but now it has been adopted by a school
because the people living in the house right now,
we moved in the meantime
and the people living in the house right now,
we're not taking care of it.
So we had a school.
So now it's been taking the little garden
on top of the hand cart.
It's been taken care of by some children in a school.
So it's such a beautiful story of greenifying the city,
rewilding the city.
We had big pumpkins growing out of it.
Like it was beautiful.
It was absolutely amazing.
So yeah, this is tiny activism in front of your door,
very local to unite the neighbors
to create some fun and rebellion also into the street,
some naughtiness into the street.
And we had so much fun.
It was really nice.
I love it.
You know, I think that is the way to avoid the extinction.
You know, we reconnect with nature.
And I think in the climate spirit too, of course,
what I love about this community is,
you know, we turn to nature for solutions
for issues like climate.
I love that story.
That is such a beautiful story.
I can just imagine you in the car
and Zadie taking the garden back.
It's just other people, like all the stories
on how you can have a look on the Citizen Garden on Twitter.
Citizen Garden, is that a page or?
Yeah, it's a profile on Twitter.
Okay, so at Citizen Garden.
Yeah, at Citizen Garden.
And the story, like it's the stupid,
like it's one square meter.
That story traveled the world.
It was everywhere.
It got into the Guardian.
It was in a newspaper in Russia,
in Spain where they're like, oh my God,
what the hell is just like, seriously?
Yeah, the only other thing they wrote about
was of course COVID.
So it was just this little garden rewilding the city.
Very funny.
Okay, I'm gonna pin it up.
Citizen Garden, okay.
I see there's different episodes.
Who's the avatar?
Is the matter?
Yeah, it got, the idea got copied by a couple of them.
So there was I think up to four Citizen Gardens
in the city.
So people loving the idea and then also putting
the garden in front of their garage instead of the car.
So Brussels, okay, so each CC,
I think this is Europe's biggest Ethereum conference
is not happening in Paris this year
because of the Olympics.
Instead, it's happening in Brussels, right?
I know, I know.
That's a huge opportunity, the home base
where all the regions are already based out of.
What are your plans for that?
Any alpha or exciting?
We're constantly, it's on top of my mind.
And since we don't have that community space anymore,
we have to give it up like it was a temporary project.
We are hunting down new building
and we've been searching for a couple of months now.
So I'm reaching out like, yeah,
we visited so many places.
So yeah, yeah, we'd love to really,
but it takes a little bit of time sadly.
But yeah, we're definitely gonna organize a region hub
and region events at a huge party hopefully
during the ETC Paris.
Yay, the region hub.
Well, if there's anything that Let's Grow DAO can do
to support that.
We've been wanting to do satellite events as well.
Maybe if you could just help collaborate
on the celebratory side or anything we can do as a DAO.
There's some brilliant startups in the refi space
that are really come together.
It's one person, one vote.
And our missions, I think are really, really aligned.
It's to unite and grow the region movement.
So I think there's a lot of overlaps there.
Will T grow right ahead, brother.
Jimmy, we've got another person of the region community
who organizes pizza parties in Brussels, right?
Sino, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Sino and Bruno and Mariano,
we've actually here, I think I saw him for a bit.
They, most of us have yet in Bruno.
I don't know if Bruno is also part
of the regions tonight community,
but they started an initiative called DAO Brussels.
All cities are a DAO.
They just don't know it yet under that sort of like,
it's a collective of people doing great projects.
So we're very close.
We come through together and for sure we will partner up
the first plans that we made to partner up
for the event in July alongside HCC.
So yes, yeah, yeah.
Sino, he was core organizer
of the first Regents Unite Edition in Brussels.
Super cool.
Well, yeah, I don't know if we're able to give people
a bit of a taste of what a Regents Unite event is like,
because we've spoken about a few different methodologies,
like high level.
But is there anything that we could try like an activity
or anything like that?
And I'm kind of putting it on your spot.
Or maybe if this, if space is not the right environment
for you, maybe we could just like delve a bit deeper
into maybe what some of the activities are like practically.
But yeah, what are your thoughts there?
How can we give a little teaser, a little taste
of what a Regents Unite is like in spaces?
We can maybe do something with backgrounds.
I'm trying to think as fast as I can now.
But one of the absolute core things of Regents Unite
is to bring together people from white backgrounds.
And then we try to create a cross pollination.
So going to a Regents Unite event,
a lot of people say it feels like
they are traveling communities.
And you can imagine that like in Brussels,
the second edition this year,
we had upstairs a friend of mine
who is a sexual healing therapist
who did a full workshop on sexual healing.
And downstairs, like she was going into the wives
and I knew it was crazy.
And downstairs there was like CINO actually
doing a workshop on Africa and bonds and crypto
and with three with Africa and how those links can go.
And in the other space, there was a guy
sharing about a high technology seaweed machine
that he had invented
and that is actually capturing CO2 out of the air.
So this is how you picture a Regents Unite event, right?
It's very hard to choose when you're interested
in all three topics, but it's really,
you get to go out of your comfort zone just a tiny bit.
Maybe the sexual healing scene is completely new for you.
And you get an idea of that.
You can go there without going too far
out of your comfort zone, but you get an idea.
Maybe crypto is completely new to you.
Well, fine, go.
They're good people.
They give you an introduction, we build trust.
Like we're all building for regeneration
or you go talk to that guy
who invented this crazy machine, right?
So it's traveling communities.
It's traveling solutions, questions, people searching.
And that's what Regents Unite feels like as an event.
That's what we try to aim for.
So yeah, right now we would almost tap into
what are our differences, right?
Regents Unite is actually about all our differences.
Weirdly enough, paradoxically enough.
I love that.
And I also love how spaces like this unite so many people
from around the world with such diverse backgrounds.
I know we got at least three people in here from Kenya.
We've got, I mean, I'm in Thailand.
We'll tease in America.
You're in Brussels.
You're still interested in Canada.
We got Bolivia in the house.
Let us know in the comments where you're tuning in from.
I would love to learn where all of you,
I think we got China in the building or Japan rather.
So yeah, do let us know where are you tuning in from.
We'd love to learn just how diverse everyone is in here.
It's a beautiful thing.
But yeah, I can only imagine all those things
happening at once.
I think up until this point, I've only really been
to like Regents Unite, like satellite kind of type events.
I think what you're describing is like the hub where it's
like this is the core event.
Yeah, like I know like Bruno was there at ReFi week,
for example, at ACC there was a satellite event at...
In Paris, yeah.
Yeah, in Paris.
And so yeah, I love this concept of the Regent Hub,
like a physical venue that you're gonna build.
And I'm sure it's gonna have that culture
of regeneration infused into it.
So people are just gonna continuously like contribute to it.
I know when I go there, I'm gonna come with a plant, right?
Like some of that good karma has got to come back to you.
You should do that because the building I'm hunting down
is really like, I don't want to just rent the plane venue.
And then no, it has to feel like we're again,
like restarting a community in that building.
So that's why it's taking so long.
Maybe I put the bar too high,
but I'm really, I love to find an empty building.
I'm next speaker, so I'm gonna talk to some politicians
So I'm really working hard on it,
finding an empty building, regenerating it,
and then your plan to me would be so welcome.
I mean, that's exactly what we're gonna be like, yeah.
Like decorations and plants, lots of plants, lots of plants.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's really cool.
I love your vision and I can't wait to see it come to life
because I'm sure that it will.
And when it does, it's gonna be a beautiful thing.
We got to continue discussions,
not just of how maybe we can help
what you're doing in Brussels,
but also they're a Genesance Festival.
We need to involve Regents Unite in a really meaningful way.
We're gonna make this the biggest regen event.
Very happy to have with us tonight.
In the world, it's gonna be hybrid and IRL.
So people continue no matter what,
if they can make it physically or not.
You have the most experience
in cultivating the right atmospheres.
And I know that, and Savia was originally like,
okay, you know what, maybe it shouldn't be big.
Like Regents Unite events are like really tight knit for a reason.
Like you can really connect with people.
But maybe we can create a variety of different spaces and, you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, sorry, I thought someone else was speaking as well.
Yeah, I agree.
Okay, so we're getting close to the top of the hour.
So I think it's about time for our final segment.
And that is Words of Wisdom.
So this is where we can do a once around.
And if you're in the audience and you got some wisdom inside of you,
I would really love it if you came up and shared it with people.
Wisdom is, it's more impactful when it's shared.
So do feel free to come up and it's open mic.
We're gonna end with you, Lean,
unless it's a hard stop at the top of the hour.
We normally end with our guest, but we can start now.
I'm good.
Always a banger.
Real quick.
Go ahead.
Yes, I have to shim on out of here.
I've got a-
Oh, you've got a shim on.
All right, let me start with you there, my friend.
I've got a shim on out of here.
Shimon out to the DOW plant space.
Oh, okay.
Feel free to pin that up and we can shimmy people over as well.
But yeah, if you got some wisdom, grow right ahead, buddy.
Lay it on us.
I'll just say, you know, keep an open mind, maintain your student mentality and embrace
your childlike spirit.
I love that.
Always learning.
Always learning.
I feel like those are connected too, right?
When you have a childlike spirit, you're more curious, you know?
That curiosity.
That curiosity is the mother of invention as well.
Yeah, beautiful.
Oh, we got John joining us up here.
Kawagumba.
So, okay, let's continue this once around.
Bye, Will T.
Take care, brother.
Much love.
Congrats on your previous space.
That was a great one.
I love the awards, man.
It was super, super cool.
By the way, we're going to do REFI awards as well at Regenisance Festival.
And I have a feeling there's going to be a few categories you might get nominated for
there, Lean.
So, okay, Mr. McGee, what are some nuggets of knowledge that you could share with us
Do what you can with what you got.
You have a lot of resources at your disposal that most people usually don't take advantage
I appreciate everybody putting your times and talents into this.
I'd also like to say if anybody would like to claim an NFT that represents five trees
planted, just send me a polygon address and let me know what your favorite tree is.
Aw, look at that.
I love it.
Yeah, by the way, James is a...
Look at his PFP, guys.
This is amazing.
He's an AI prompt magician, all right?
He's making some seriously beautiful things and planting trees along the way with us.
Way to go, Mr. McGee.
We love him.
Thank you, good sir.
If I could just ask one quick follow-up question.
What is one example of a resource that is available to us that people might not be tapping
One that's largely overlooked is human feces.
It is remarkably nitrogen dense, carbon dense.
It can be used human manure.
Humanure is remarkably potent.
Most developed nations spend a lot of resources to process it in a largely inefficient manner.
If you look at the people who are building in what we considered underdeveloped areas,
who are using composting toilets and various things, there's a lot of resources we waste
and we waste even more to just waste those ones.
So that's something that if you have the ability to learn about and to take advantage of,
I suggest food scraps is another big deal.
We often waste things a little at a time and we don't realize it.
Every pound of food that goes to a landfill is six pounds of greenhouse gas equivalent
that gets put out.
Every pound of food that's composted is about a half a pound that can be easily sequestered.
So if you have any food waste, please just don't actually let it be waste.
It's not waste.
It is valuable materials.
You just need to learn how to utilize them.
Everyone join the Carbon Counting Club Discord if you can because I feel like you're sharing
some great info in there.
If people have questions, Mr. McGee can share you how to compost, how to leverage the different things.
Yeah, I think I saw Humanure in a documentary of sorts.
It can make another impact.
So there you go.
The more you know.
Okay, amazing.
John Kawagumba, what are some lessons, some knowledge, some wisdom that you can share with us today?
Thank you so much for giving this opportunity.
I would like to say let us be each other brother's keepers and love everyone project and is what
is us doing.
It's very important a lot.
Otherwise, thank you.
I love it.
Thank you, man.
You're a great supporter of the space of many people.
I'm going to be crying and laughing.
Sometimes I tip the wrong emoji.
It's great to see how involved you're getting in Web3 John and how far you've come as well.
It's great to see community rally around you.
This is a great regen farmer here, by the way.
He was with me last time I did a 24-hour tree planting world record.
He was with me almost the entire time after barely sleeping the day before on a bus.
He came all the way across Kenya to be with me on the coast.
So much love to John.
And yeah, great work with everything you're doing.
All right.
Over to Richard.
What are some words of wisdom that you can share with us before we conclude this space today?
Oh, thank you.
Well, I think what comes to mind from the presentation is a phrase is united in diversity.
I think that we can do so much more if we really get close to the collective intelligence.
And it's going to be amazing what the future is going to be.
So I appreciate that active hope.
It's about taking action.
Less protesting and more creative doing.
Beautiful.
Creative doing.
You're such a great creator, Richard, and a great asset to the space.
I love that you're making the work that you're doing open source.
And I would love to try to build one of those pyro...
How was it called again?
Pyropods.
And tent, yeah.
And tents, yes.
And the tent and the dome.
We're talking about regenerating the space, right?
It's all connected.
We got to have more chats about that.
So thank you for coming through these spaces into our Genesot spaces.
We really appreciate you, Richard.
All right.
Last but certainly not least, we got the lovely Lean sharing some words of wisdom with us.
So what is something you want people to know before we conclude this space?
Yeah, building up on what Richard said, maybe the uniting and diversity.
One of the big, big teachings in the democracy is there is no monopoly on the truth.
And so you only see the world the way you are, not really the way it is.
So widening that lens to the other truths out there actually brings you in the state of curiosity.
And a human resource, like it was also mentioned, that is very, very valuable there.
It's stories, personal stories.
So the universal is in those personal stories.
So if you can tap into that, knowing deeply, there is no monopoly on the truth.
There is only its personal experience.
And listening to those beautiful personal experience, that is the collective wisdom we are looking for.
The life lessons are there in the personal and in the small.
So yeah, that's maybe something I'd love to bring more to Regency Night, the storytelling.
That's my couple of words, I think.
We're curious, child's life, open, and listen to each other's experiences.
Wow, so much wisdom bundled up into one statement there.
I love it.
Thank you so much for coming through.
It really means a lot that you took the time.
Thank you for all that you do for the Regen movement.
Thank you for all that you do for all the people who are doing that in a work,
for all the people that are able to find those amazing connections at your events.
I'm so grateful to people like you existing.
So thank you again for coming through.
I got a track queued up here that I'm going to play us out to.
And it is by the same artist.
OK, so let me cue this up here.
And it's not necessarily like a party song.
It's a bit more chill.
But if you do want to do an emoji dance, feel free to do so.
If you don't know what an emoji dance is, where you tap the emojis,
the bottom right, the heart with the plus, to the beat as you wish,
as we play out the track here.
So let me bring it into the video as well.
Hold on just one moment.
Bam, bam, bam.
OK, here we go.
It's an oldie but a goodie.
Thank you, Jimmy.
Thank you so much.
And thank you, everyone, for being here.
Ain't no mountain high.
Ain't no valley low.
Ain't no river wide enough, baby.
That's love regents.
Easy call, baby, no matter where you are.
No matter how far.
Don't worry, baby.
Just call my name.
I'll be there in a hurry.
You don't have to worry.
Oh, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you.
Baby, remember the day I set you free.
I told you you could always count on me, dawg.
From that day on, I made a vow.
I'll be there when you want me somewhere, somehow.
Olivia's getting down.
Baby, there ain't no mountain high enough.
Ain't no valley low enough.
Ain't no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you, baby.
All right.
Much love, everybody.
Until next time, keep doing what you love,
keep spreading love, and making impact.
