Coming Home to Place
Weaving the 4 Dimensions of Regenerative Cultures
Online Festival and 20th anniversary fundraiser
2025 marks the 20th anniversary of Gaia Education!
To celebrate, we’re bringing together visionary voices from across our network for an online festival of bioregional regeneration and cultural transformation around the world.
Following Gaia Education’s Whole Systems Design Mandala, we will explore the latest ideas and practices in the social, ecological, economic, and worldview dimensions of regenerative transformation.
Through our courses over the years, we have been so fortunate to be connected with you, some of the most inspiring and ground-breaking individuals and organisations in localisation, bioregional regeneration and regenerative cultural transformation. We are so delighted and grateful that you are supporting us now with our anniversary fundraiser. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
We would love your interviews to tell us about where your work has taken you, what your thoughts are for the future, and any key ideas you hope will land with those watching. Yan and Maria from the Gaia Education team are here to help you get set up and record your sessions. Here is some of the main info you need to know below:
Speakers logistics
- Interviews will be approximately 45 minutes long and conducted online and recorded, by October 2025.
- We will have a team member or one of our close collaborators contact you as one of the speakers, to suggest some questions and themes for the conversation and/or work with themes that you would like to focus on.
- All the technical hosting of the recording and the editing of the final video for the festival will be done by our team. As a speaker, all you have to commit is an hour of your time and maybe time spent on one or two emails ahead of that. Donating your time like that will make our anniversary festival and bursary fundraiser a success.
- In sharing and promoting the interview, Gaia Education will also link to the speaker's website/social media.
- We would be delighted to welcome our speakers back for the live event on December 6th and 7th, and also understand that not everyone will be able to commit time to that. So if you would be willing to be part of the live event, please let us know and we would be delighted to have you back for an online panel of 60 to 90 minutes.
If you have any more questions or concerns just contact Yan (yan@gaiaeducation.org) or Maria (maria.cooper@gaiaeducation.org).
