“Wisdom begins in wonder.” - Socrates
As Regenerate X we are committed to addressing global challenges with systemic awareness and simple practical applications to change everyday leadership in life and work.
In January, we continue celebrating our Super Power “Wonder” with some sensorial experiences, a Red Rice Retreat and a Socratic Dialogue online session. Are you ready to wonder in your body, mind and heart?

Red Rice Retreat
We invite leaders of change to start leading themselves, to review, restore and regenerate their energy, through conscious eating.
Conscious eating is not about depriving oneself, feeling hungry or denying satisfaction. It is quite the opposite- by being conscious we can discover wonders of life, be joyous and satisfied, energised, with heightened sensorial experiences and connection to nature, as nature.
RRR - Red Rice Retreat is designed by Aliwalu Caparros in such a way to in-power you in your relationship to food, helping you become more aware and conscious of your body/mind connection to food. This wondrous experience is open to all genders and age groups, as individuals and corporate teams.
Our first live session starts on Monday, January 31 between 2.30 and 3.30pm CET
👉🏼 To get notified of our next retreats and for corporate inquiries, please contact us directly here.
Socratic Dialogue on Wonder
Our monthly Socratic Dialogues on Super Powers are starting on January 31st, 2022 with Super Power Wonder.
Mon, January 31 / 5:00pm - 6:30pm CET
👉🏼 Please RSVP to book your seat.
February Super Power: Dare
Language Hacks & Poetic activism with Tom Mansfield
Our February Super Power is "Dare", a key quality of all great leaders.
Join this 90 min. session on Tuesday, February 1 at 5pm CET with Tom Mansfield to start expanding the way you use language and dare to change the way you see yourself and how you relate to the world.
In this trailer session, we will explore the Super Power of Dare by daring to change our language and with it our relationship to life. Join us for an open conversation and let's explore the words that limit and the words that expand us and find those words, those labels and those spells that we must Dare to use to transform ourselves and live a life more full.
Mind & Replace workshop 19/2/22 10am - 12pm CET
Ecolinguistics, Metaphor and language of re-connection
How do we create choices about the language we use? By bringing to the surface the underlying concepts that form our metaphors and daily language. Do we Build or Grow community? Save or Heal the environment? How are you Doing or How are you Being? Do we see reality as ‘things’ or ‘events’, ‘objects’ or ‘happenings’? And how do these conceptualisations affect our relationships to ourselves and the rest of the world?
Dare to hack your language, mind & replace your story. We invite you to lead with connection & regenerative language. Book your spot here.
Unconditional M@n Deeper Purpose (Online Journey)
Starting on February 23, Unconditional M@n is launching its first online Deeper Purpose course, an 8-week journey to discover and align to your true purpose using courage as a key driver to create deep transformation within.

Intentions
Earlier this year, we chose five intentions, each honouring one of the five elements of nature. We stay close to our intention by checking in, every edition of our newsletter.
DEEPer Tech: EARTH
GENdR: WATER
NFT Alchemy: FIRE
METTAverse : AIR
DAOism: ETHER
Aligning actions and behaviours with priorities is the ultimate leadership. With intentions, we integrate our values and our daily reality, in harmony with our most profound guide: nature.
Our invitation is to become aware of our own intentions and energy. Then we can take the responsibility of our impact in shaping reality, and future, NOW — in the way we think, talk and act on our intentions.
DEEPer Tech: EARTH
While many purpose-driven leaders are now recognising that deep tech can help them contribute to regenerating Earth’s ecosystems, it is important to understand the shift in paradigm needed for an organisation to achieve success in this area.
Technological solutions can only be as profound as the level of consciousness contributing to them. What is now required is for leaders to take a more profound approach to deep tech, and this means developing a systemic birthing process of the very nature of deep tech; a new company, a new leadership, and a new world.
Transforming digitally or solely iterating design, strategy and marketing initiatives is not enough. We need to transform our energy, our everyday culture and move from thinking in old mental systems to emerging in new fields of possibilities, with creating mind-heart coherence. From this energy, initiating new organisation-wide dialogues to engage employees and stakeholders will lead the transformational process, locating deep tech opportunities at the heart of their strategies as emerging futures.
Steve Jobs famously said that businesses need to start with the customer experience and work backwards to the technology. With deep tech, leaders need to start with their DEEPer Tech: elevated states of being and emotions of purpose and values, allowing the change and impact they are aiming to achieve to be born in harmony with all life.
In the quantum field, time does not exist. By integrating science, art and philosophy, we can bring quantum possibilities to corporate and planetary missions, through our leadership.
RefleX: The Salience Meditation
This is a meditation created by Alexander Beiner for our friends at Rebel Wisdom. Inspired by John Vervaeke’s work on relevance realisation and the idea that what is salient to us (calling for our attention) is not always relevant to our goals. This meditation is designed to help you separate the signal from the noise. You can download it here.
GENdR: WATER
In business, politics, society and planetary actions as a whole- all research and economic studies show that companies that embrace diversity are more successful. Still, too often, and especially at top positions, we hear men say that it is not possible to find women with the right profile.
“Whether diversity is reflected in companies and institutions is an active choice.”-Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.
On January 20th, with an announcement, Ursula von der Leyen invited leaders to change that, with her commitment to ensuring the Commission’s proposal on Women on Boards to become EU law.

RefleX:
How ready are you in your company & leadership for a “women on boards” law? What is the current gap?
What actions can you take and what support do you need now?
NFT Alchemy: FIRE
‘World of Women’ NFTs Are Cracking Crypto’s Boys-Club Image
Whether you like it or not, the NFT scene really is overwhelmingly, grossly male… Until a group of glowering Amazonian womxn threw themselves into the mix. Thanks in large part to the World of Women (WoW) NFT collection — a series of 10,000 diverse female avatars created and illustrated by Yam Karkai, a woman who claims to be on a mission to give back to women-centric organizations. Karkai’s brainchild has generated more than $40 million in two weeks.

RefleX:
How are you doing in your company/organization with inclusion and inequality issues?
METTAverse : AIR
Earth DAO, a decentralised organisation, is announcing a Web3 based social network, named social.network 😊 The platform aims to solve the social dilemma by systematically changing the incentives, intention, and internet protocol that traditional social media is built upon.
At Regenerate X, we are curious about how this type of well-thought and -executed projects will evolve over time.
RefleX:
How are you doing with your company in supporting the old way of doing business and investing time, money and energy in building a regenerative new business world?
DAOism: ETHER
No Mercy No Malice, Scott Galloway's merciless take on Web3. According to Scott, so far, web3 is web2.01.
“The advertised decentralization of power out of the hands of a few has, in fact, been a re-centralization of power into the hands of fewer. The top 9% of accounts hold 80% of the $41B market value of NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. The practice of “whitelisting” keeps the bulk of NFT profits within a tight circle of insiders. Bitcoin is even more centralized: The top 2% of accounts own 95% of the $800 billion supply of Bitcoin, and 0.1% of Bitcoin miners are responsible for half of all mining output. If it were a country, Bitcoin would have the greatest inequality in the world.”.
Blockchain-based systems are not what they say they are by Molly White, Tech lead at Hubspot.
If we are to believe that the proponents of blockchains and the systems built atop them are apparently the future of our web, two major concepts of what we accept as decentralised technology fall apart after this must-read critical observation by Molly:
Decentralisation: data in blockchains are distributed across innumerable servers run by innumerable people and organisations, rather than stored on servers controlled by one organisation
Immutability: what is written to a blockchain cannot be changed or deleted, unlike more traditional databases
The re-emergence of the commons & cosmo-local regeneration, a conversation from 1,5 years ago by Michel Bauwens & Daniel Christian Wahl and still very relevant as to the creation of regenerative communities and the introduction of new concepts like the cosmo-local: a person who shares everything that is light globally and everything that is heavy locally.
“I believe that value is created by everyone. Value is created not by commodifying but by contribution. Every citizen, every inhabitant is productive and creates value. Caring is commoning. Caring is value creation.”
RefleX:
From theory to action, DAOs seem like the ideal solution the world wants and needs right now and in the near future, however, we have yet to see a DAO that turns the theory into perfect practice.
How are you contributing to building/experimenting with your brand and community using DAO technology and principles?
