gm gm!
here are a few quicker reflections from my side for before the session – I’ll then be sharing the challenges & appending other points later on, to take the time to make them actually insightful.
Icebreaker — what “regen” means to me
To my personal comprehension/identification with the term “regen”, it revolves around some key aspects:
- To see the need for regenerating our environments & social systems and have the will to do so
- To be aligned with the vision of the ecosocial transition
- And to create new systems

Some key highlights of 2025 to me:
-
Consolidation of Regen Coordination and strengthening ties with GreenPill, Trinity and other participants – with some key highlights:
- GG23 & CIDS pilot: Ran a program that demonstrated how when collaborating with other networks we could coordinate more ambitious/needed programs to fill gaps & needs in the ecosystem.
- Local ReFi Toolkit – kickstarting plans with convergence strategy toward Ethereum Localism, with the potential/vision of making it a shared asset for close/highly aligned networks, such as Regen Commons, Ethereum Localism and other groups.
-
ReFi BCN cooperative formation: Kickstarted the process of constituting ReFi BCN as a workers cooperative in Catalonia with @giulio and @andrea — being housed/incubated by one of the major coop hubs in Europe.
-
Bread Coop alignment: ReFi DAO joined Bread Coop as a project member, then transitioned membership to Regen Coordination — it has been a concrete mutual aid mechanism that has been providing funding to ReFi DAO and now Regen Coordination through the Solidarity Fund. It has been a pleasure to join and be part of a network of value-aligned projects & individuals working to build financial mechanisms/primitives based on solidarity.
-
ReFi DAO 2.0 consolidation: Consolidated ReFi DAO 2.0 into a minimum-viable organization that can now be iterated on more intentionally (instead of constantly reinventing structure).
-
Regenerant Catalunya: Progress on a grounded, place-based coordination pathway — 11 projects documenting activities/outputs, building capacity for ongoing impact documentation via Karma GAP, creating a repeatable model for bioregional regeneration.
-
Bioregional organizing, with the activation of ReFi Mediterranean and execution of its funding round in GG23 + organizing the BioFi Barcelona event, kickstarting the vision of building BFF(s) in Catalunya with key local stakeholders – that is being piloted/experimented in the form of a program with Regenerant Catalunya.
