Pilot Bioregional Communities
Grounded in Place, Connected Globally
The Planetary Party Protocol is a living practice finding its roots in bioregional communities around the world. These pilot bioregions are testing, refining, and demonstrating what regenerative transformation looks like.
What Makes a Pilot Bioregion?
Pilot bioregions are communities that:
- Commit to implementing the Planetary Party Protocol
- Host a Planetary Party gathering (festival, assembly, action lab)
- Implement the Bioregional Intelligence Process
- Activate local Flow Funds
- Build positive-trace infrastructure
- Share learnings with the global network
Each activation feeds data, stories, and frameworks back into a shared knowledge commons, making replication easier.
Current Pilot Bioregions
These communities are at various stages of implementing the Protocol, from initial sensing to full activation.
Active PilotCloud Forest
Veracruz, Mexico
A biodiverse mountainous region where cloud forests meet traditional communities, working to preserve ecological and cultural heritage.
Active PilotRastafari Indigenous Village
Montego Bay & Partner Villages, Jamaica
A network of communities rooted in Rastafari tradition and indigenous wisdom, activating bioregional stewardship and cultural preservation.
EmergingAguaclara Basin & Sierra Nevada
Colombia
Spanning from pristine watersheds to sacred mountain territories, this bioregion bridges indigenous stewardship with regenerative development.
EmergingNortheast of Turtle Island
United States
An emerging bioregional network honoring indigenous land stewardship while building bridges across diverse communities in the northeastern region.
More bioregions are emerging. Contact us to explore starting a pilot in your region.
We Scale Through Replication and Refinement, Not Centralization
Each bioregional activation generates data, stories, and frameworks that feed back into a shared knowledge commons, making the pattern easier to replicate. Every Planetary Party is unique to its place, yet all are connected through shared protocols and collective learning.
2026
Activate First Bioregions
Pilot the full Protocol, testing all systems and creating templates for others.
2027
Engage More Bioregions
Expand to new communities while deepening existing activations. Build cross-bioregional learning networks.
Beyond
A Global Movement
Each bioregional activation generates data, stories, and frameworks that feed the knowledge commons, making the pattern easier to replicate.
The Bioregional Activation Cycle
Each pilot bioregion moves through the five phases of the Protocol, deepening capacity and impact with each cycle.

Bring the Planetary Party to Your Bioregion
Is your community ready to host a Planetary Party? Here's what we look for and what we provide.
Prerequisites
- Community readiness: Local leadership and broad participation
- Bioregional focus: Clear ecological and cultural boundaries
- Commitment to Protocol: Willingness to implement all five phases
- Alignment with values: Equity, ecology, sovereignty, joy
- Capacity to convene: Ability to organize gatherings safely
- Knowledge sharing: Commitment to documenting and sharing learnings
What We Provide
- Stakeholder mapping: identify who is already doing regenerative work or sensing the same problems.
- Surfacing of unified intention: listening to understand and synthesize the shared prayer and purpose of your community (water, youth, food, land, and more).
- Tools: dashboards, community facilitation, trauma-informed healing, mapping technology, governance frameworks, and regenerative funding templates.
- Connecting of local communities & bioregions: cultivating shared learning and stories across nodes.
- Ceremony and integration: inviting local and global elders, youth, and others to bring the spiritual and cultural dimension of coherence.
Application Process
- Submit initial expression of interest
- Participate in exploratory dialogue
- Community sensing and readiness assessment
- Co-create activation plan with local leadership
- Onboarding and training phase
- Begin Protocol implementation
Upcoming Gatherings & Events
Dates, locations, and registration details will be announced as they are finalized in collaboration with local communities.

Ready to Become a Pilot Bioregion?
We're looking for communities ready to implement the Protocol and contribute to the planetary network.
Each bioregion is a unique expression of life's intelligence. Together, we form a planetary nervous system awakening to itself.
