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.

The Planetary Party Protocol Finds Its Roots in Bioregional Communities

Each pilot bioregion is unique, shaped by its ecology, culture, and community. Yet all are united by a commitment to sense, decide, and act together in service to life.

Global Bioregional Network

What Makes a Pilot Bioregion?

Pilot bioregions are communities that:

  1. Commit to implementing the Planetary Party Protocol
  2. Host a Planetary Party gathering (festival, assembly, action lab)
  3. Implement the Bioregional Intelligence Process
  4. Activate local Flow Funds
  5. Build positive-trace infrastructure
  6. Share learnings with the global network

Each activation feeds data, stories, and frameworks back into a shared knowledge commons, making replication easier.

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.

Our Pilot Bioregions

These communities are pioneering the Planetary Party Protocol, testing frameworks and building the foundation for bioregional regeneration across the Americas.

Cloud Forest

Veracruz, Mexico

A biodiverse mountainous region where cloud forests meet traditional communities, working to preserve ecological and cultural heritage.

Rastafari Indigenous Village

Montego Bay & Partner Villages, Jamaica

A network of communities rooted in Rastafari tradition and indigenous wisdom, activating bioregional stewardship and cultural preservation.

Aguaclara Basin & Sierra Nevada

Colombia

Spanning from pristine watersheds to sacred mountain territories, this bioregion bridges indigenous stewardship with regenerative development.

Northeast of Turtle Island

United States

An emerging bioregional network honoring indigenous land stewardship while building bridges across diverse communities in the northeastern region.

Our 5-Phase Cycle

Every Planetary Party activation follows a regenerative cycle that honors the rhythms of community transformation.

1. Sense

Deep listening with place and people

2. See

Mapping the social-ecological whole

3. Flow

Moving resources, care, and responsibility relationally

4. Celebrate

Collective activation and cultural anchoring

5. Regenerate

Learning, adaptation, and reinvestment over time

Bring the Planetary Party to Your Bioregion

Is your community ready to host a Planetary Party? We're looking for bioregions with:

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's 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, etc.).
  • 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

  1. Submit initial expression of interest
  2. Participate in exploratory dialogue
  3. Community sensing and readiness assessment
  4. Co-create activation plan with local leadership
  5. Onboarding and training phase
  6. Begin Protocol implementation

Apply to Host a Party

Each bioregional activation generates data, stories, and frameworks that feed back into a shared knowledge commons, making the pattern easier for others to replicate.

We scale through replication, not centralization. Each Party is unique to its place, yet all are connected through shared protocols and learning.
