Barbara Lima

• Location: Mexico
• My vision: I see a world in which pure consciousness is our guide in manifesting our highest selves and propelling our purpose. A world in which we are all truly, abundantly one. Where we are the living understanding that we ARE nature and therefore morality is no longer needed in the way we exchange value, govern, make use of our resources, share spaces, co-live, communicate with each other and set our individual and common goals. Where human and planetary regeneration are languages spoken and lived by all. I see SEEDS having a high potential for igniting and providing tangible platforms and tools for those who share similar visions.
• My purpose: My purpose is to help raise the level of consciousness on the planet, mainly in regard to human/heart regeneration but also in terms of planetary regeneration. I believe that planetary and human regeneration are interdependent processes. In order to develop a regenerative approach to life, humanity needs to undergo a process of heart consciousness awakening and regeneration considering that only our highest selves can live in purpose and reach their fullest potential - which is what any regenerative initiative fundamentally requires.
• SEEDS interest: Outreach, Voice, Community, Resources
• Most aligned SEEDS values: Openness, Integrity, Trust
• Additional comments: Looking forward to learning more and becoming part of the SEEDS community in a co-creative way!

Mila Alina

• Location: United Kingdom
• My vision: My own vision is for all life forms to matter for humanity at cellular level whereby all collaborations in humanity is rooted in the co-creation of nurturing conditions for one another and for all life to survive, thrive and flourish. In consideration that we are all aligned to life / living system/ nature where life evolves and regenerates organically and in emergence, in constant change to attain balance within a spectrum of multiple polarity states and within an infinite lifecycle of interdependency to one another of death and birth lifecycles.
• My purpose: My evolutionary purpose is the quest on how do we become stewards of life (nature/ living system) where we experiment to embody and re-member a way of being at cellular levels aligned to how life (nature/ living system evolves). Consequently, this way of (sensorial) beingness beyond words would be able to manifest collectively as a community/ society the evolutionary vision stated above, supported by timeless and modern wisdom bringing a whole world view perspective from multi-dimensions, multi-cultures, multi-disciplines and deeply honouring our respective ancestral wisdoms and future generation regeneration. A way of being that embraces at whole being level with these fundamental principles: You (all life forms) are my other selves. I survive because you survive. I flourish because you flourish. My death is your regeneration.

Neil Takemoto

• Location: Washington DC, US

Aryabhatta

• Location: Arizona, United States
• My vision: What looms at the horizon requires us all to transition, shift our scarcity mindset to abundance mindset while working towards sufficient for all, while being within the planetary bounds, meeting essential needs for everyone's social foundation for a life with dignity. Thus being in service to all life on our beautiful planet our mother earth.
• My purpose: Inquisitive playful nature, who have taken it to his heart the current traditional dominant institutions in our society, may not have will to help humanity transistion, thus the need of building a grass roots movement in what drives and motivates me.

Melanie Bennett

• Location: Southern California Coast bioregion, US

I see funding for all weapons, war, planetary destruction habits gone - nuclear bombs eliminated. I see people using their energy for what they are called to do - if it doesn't inflict on the rights of others. I see true happiness as the norm - which is bringing the vibration of the planet up. Incredible learning, growth and wisdom happening without suffering.

Alaï Landa

• Location: Topanga, California
• My vision: I am a curator. A weaver with people and visions to co~create highest potential existence on Earth. Personally, I run a project called Dated. Dated is a space delicately constructed to hold curious explorations. We are express through 3 channels. One is a curated market of handmade goods from global independent artists. The second are our immersive gatherings, SuperPlay, which are a place for community to converge in the physical plane in nature to learn and play. Third is our Study, a page where we publish written work from global (mainly female) students about their topics of interest/experience. Through this project we envision the sharing of ideas through conscious community that is supported through our highest expressions. In my community here in Topanga, we are a group of women who have come together here living on a farm. Working in energy exchange with the land each day ~ living in harmony with Earth. As we progress, we have a collective vision to continue building edible gardens and eco communities the with our connections and skill to expand this existence. Shining light on sustainability, off-line living, and more.
• My purpose: I have a deep vision which I have come to understand as an emerging collective vision of communities connection through blockchain and being able to exchange, build, grow, and network with their own governance and currencies. Separately from national regulations or surveillance. DAH’s using DAO’s and cooperative values to create functional and grand scale non-hierarchical communities and overall ways of life on earth.

Vaughn Bergen, Costa Rica

• My vision: I have a vision for the union between Humanity, Mother Earth and the Subtle Realms through the marriage of the masculine and feminine aspects of the mind, body and Spirit. The feminine aspects are states of receptivity rather than grasping, of surrender rather than fear driven control, so the chalice, the Holy Grail, may fill with the Divine Love of the Creator. The masculine will take action from this place of euphoric wholeness rather than from a state of "need", or "should" or from any illusions of lack. From this state we will start to build the new world, by aligning our frequency to it. We will build great Cities of Light, with Lemurian Crystal Temples that radiate scalar energy as a source of power and healing, incredible superfood farms grown in ways that are regenerative to nature and to ourselves, advanced medical facilities that heal through collective consciousness and sound/light frequencies, and so much more! We will create the conditions within and without for greatly accelerating the releasing of our collective traumas and any limiting beliefs will gradually dissolve as we consciously ascend to the Realms from whence we came, through incomprehensible states of bliss...
• My purpose: I am working with a team to build an XR gamification platform called Pangaea that supports regenerative projects and communities through a social media platform for sharing information and resources, a 3D world map for connecting to projects and other players, a creative arts and education digital ecosystem and a decentralized cryptocurrency for incentivizing positive action (masculine) and flow states (feminine).

Zimbabwe

Brian Tinoota

• Location: Mutare, Zimbabwe
• My vision: I wish to see how can we use regenerative currency and self designed learning to address the issue of unemployment and poverty in local communities. My vision is to bring back learning into people’s hands, thereby providing them with the opportunity to acquire relevant skills and knowledge and contribute to economic prosperity in their local community. I want to achieve this by creating a community-based learning platform for local community members called Multi-Talented Makerspace (MTM) to nurture entrepreneurship and local economic opportunities based on the skills and knowledge developed in marginalised communities. This model of self-designed education results in the active co-production of a variety of knowledge and skills that are harnessed by people to co-create meaningful lives alongside each other in their local community, rather than moving to the big cities to find any kind of job at the lowest ranks of the ladder. MTM, therefore, is a space for sustainable learning, rooted in the community where they are equipped with various resources (i.e. recycled waste materials, hand tools, electronics, etc.) and with laptops and internet access, the place provides a free, open, easily accessible and inspiring learning environment for everyone and anyone in the given local community.
• My purpose: I'm the founder of Multi-Talented Makerspace (MTM), a non profit organisation building a community based self designed learning centre and regenerative currencies is one of the tools we are going to provide opportunities for economic and social betterment in the community. The learners will be able to make money, make a living and make valuable contributions to the society and the world as a whole. With the SEEDS network I envision MTM to develop further from a ‘learning space’ into a ‘community space’ where people meet, learn, discuss, dream with each other and come together to address issues their community is facing. The people will be able to solve them in creative, innovative ways by themselves, or come up with new initiatives and projects to improve their community and enhance community life in various ways. Ideally, through this initiative, I want to create a regenerative economy run by local communities who can be able to identify and actively tap into their local based knowledge to create abundance and not scarcity.

Sharyn Yau, Hong Kong, Liverpool, Istanbul

• My vision: I envision a world that we all live as one without the fear of separation. I want to see global unity in which everyone can create and share values in own rights.

M. Renee Orth, Charleston, South Carolina, US

• My vision: So much overlap! My vision is guided by my working hypothesis that one point of life is to reach high levels of complexity and this happens through synergy, which in turn happens through love in action. Compassion, joy, care, understanding, gratitude, sharing are all manifestations of love. Humanity is at a crossroads, we will survive, and even thrive, the multiple ecological crises our actions have created to the degree to which we put cooperation at the center of our lives and for most of us this requires a re-programming of our ways of communicating and interacting with ourselves, one another and the non-human world. The economic, financial and governance systems of SEEDS is an essential piece of this evolutionary development.
  
• My purpose: I work to create regenerative community and so am a "boots on the ground" servant to the SEEDS purpose.
  
• SEEDS interest: Outreach, Tools, Systems, Voice, Community, Resources
  
• Most aligned SEEDS values: Exploration, Reciprocity, Openness, Courage, Trust, Commitment, Compassion.
  
• Additional comments: I am thrilled to be involved in this endeavor. It is deeply aligned with the vision I've had for over a decade about the need to use technology, exactly in the way SEEDS and Be the Change are, to create grassroots alternatives designed to empower humans to live from compassion and care. Would like to explore how I can integrate SEEDS into the community work I do in Charleston, SC. Been wanting to create a local currency to fund the regenaissance here and am interested in figuring out if SEEDS might be a path to that end.

Joel Kaminski, Virginia, US

• My vision: Humanity living together totally free in a rooted culture of peace, harmony, and equity. An economy that incentivizes strengthening global/local resiliency, freedom, and respect. The people’s of the world living a life they love in abundance. Schools teaching useful things to children and communities where growing, never stops. The SEEDS project has been something I have been thinking about for awhile now as a necessary thing if we hope to build a better world, and I want to support the collective vision of a better system designed by the people, for the people. If not us, then who?
• My purpose: To build intentional communities, eco-villages, and other regenerative design models for the average person so they can experience a community designed around freedom, trust, and growth. I want to do this because I have found that the problem lies in how we live; less consumption and work, more serenity and play. If we live in areas designed to those ends with modern technology, there’s no end to what we can do. Renew damaged ecosystems, heal rampant mental health issues and bodily sicknesses, and grow as a species. SEEDS seems to me the proposed network for communities to route their goods, services, and ideas through. We are aligned.
• SEEDS interest: Outreach, Systems, Voice, Community
• Most aligned SEEDS values: Exploration, Reciprocity, Openness, Courage, Trust, Commitment, Compassion
• Additional comments: It is becoming apparent that it’s time to learn from those that know the skills I desire to accomplish my purpose. Being an ecovillage consultant and regenerative natural resources specialist is my dream. I feel a radical movement away from my 9-5 and into my true career. I only need opportunity to learn and work towards these goals to make the shift into living my purpose full time, instead of a side gig. If there are resources out there that can teach me, and work to be done with SEEDS, please reach out so we can co-create this new way together and support the vision.

RootHub aka Greg Williams, Hawaii

• My vision: Singing the world I wish to seed into being. To help the world remember that singing together, about life, is is an exploration of ritual, creativity, and wonder. A world where we acknowledge the past, honor the present, and confidently activate the future. Providing safe containers where spontaneous expression is supported, encouraged, and cultivated. Practicing regenerative agriculture both as a necessity for generational balance, as well as an example for those who are skilled, curious, or completely unaware of these methods****.
  
• My purpose: The work I am engaged with in music, i.e. Instant Anthems, SONGRISER, is rooted in regeneration. With Instant Anthems, I ask for 2 nouns & 1 verb from the receiver of the IA. They provide these worlds for their pocket sized theme song. As the spontaneous song is born, familiarity and magic intersect. The receiver is creating new neural pathways in the moment and the bliss they experience magnifies the fulfillment I experience being of service and both myself, and the individual or group, walk away with our frequencies amplified. I also apply this to the large scale food waste composting operation my partner and I have created here on Oahu. we've partnered with several non profits to bring a dual dividend business to life. By taking the food waste from several food banks and composting it in our earth flow machine, we reduce the amount of waste in our waste stream here on Oahu, while simultaneously creating healthy soil, which leads to healthier seas. Both of these practices are inherently regenerative in nature and allow me to give a whole body YES to spending my energy supporting the practices. This in turn creates community, stewards the resources we are fortunate enough to be responsible for, and increases stability.

• Additional comments: The SEEDS platform is exactly what I hope to seed in my local world. Little steps and deep breaths can lead to generational change. I would love to share our best practices with the SEEDS community. I have a gift at bringing people together around shared vision via song. Would love to create a SEED instant anthem. I also help teams and groups with the SONGRISER workshop. The workshop has a focus on vulnerability, vision. and expression. Ot's been utilized as leadership development for Burners Without Boarders, Red Bull, Esalen, etc. This combined with our vision and practices to create a micro grid for food waste composting here in Hawai'i allows us to share world changing methods. Looking forward to sharing. Thank you for including me.

• My vision: Humanity that is more heart-forward, courageous, authentic, compassionate and truly joyful. Humanity choosing not to be driven by a desire for material possessions but rather by soul directed intuitive impulses that not only serve the individual but the collective as well as the earth. New systems born out of a hunger for oneness rather than a hunger for power. As humanity emerges from the darkness and heaviness of old systems and is reborn as multidimensional compassionate beings, the earth heals and is reborn. New innovations are supported and nurtured as they are for the greater good and therefore not stifled by competitors, leading to more and more innovations, flowing fluidly and creating a regenerative way of life. More innovation and a more nurturing society leads to less creation of "waste" and more care to ensure that our actions are responsible and lead to equitable abundance rather than inequitable scarcity. Humanity is united by honoring and listening to the earth and respecting boundaries, allowing all to flourish. I see my vision aligning with the SEEDS vision as they both prioritize and are guided by the capacities of the Earth and the creation of new systems that are more regenerative and fertile.
• My purpose: My purpose currently is to be a responsible resident of the earth and to support the creation of more compassionate, more sustainable, more natural ways of living and existing on this earth. I try to be a responsible consumer with all of my choices and live minimally. I try my best to have a minimal footprint and minimal negative impact on the environment. Professionally, I work in wildlife conservation, advocating for healthy vibrant thriving ecosystems and plant and animal communities. My purpose aligns with the SEEDS purpose as both are striving for more responsible sustainable systems.
