I really like so much of what you were saying. Thank you for doing it.
My passion is in regenerativity. Regenerative intimacy to be specific. People learning how to love themselves regeneratively, and then each other in regenerative ways, building on the true core principles and foundation of all regenerative work… The desire for the aliveness of the other to be flourishing in the world through the courageous and vulnerable risking of generosity, the true fuel of all regenerativity. Life loves to be lived by those loving to live life. And as we learn to love one another, we will love the earth, and the cosmos, and this loving will be felt.
I certainly do not know how to accomplish all of this, and I have been on a five-year journey through various communities around the world . And while many of them have regenerative principles, none of them have an understanding that is similar to what I carry. Just lime social permaculture is needed in all expressions of Permaculture in order for them to succeed, regenerative intimacy that touches on a new morality for the new paradigm, and how love and live together as we become life infusers rather than life consumers, is deeply needed.
I would love to talk about this further if it sounds interesting. My Substack post is called… Regenerative intimacy to save the Earth
I followed and subscribed! I forgot to reply because then I went down the rabbit hole of reading your pub. All of these principles are dear to my heart as well. You share so poetically, thank you for your voice.
Hi Nicole. I was flipping through some of your publications and I’m so grateful for what you are doing. I would love to have a conversation with you. If you have interest, my number is 715-220-6122 I’m in Pacific time. I continue to weave the connections, passion, and devotion that I encounter in the world, and i am greatly enjoying making deeper connections in things that are important and interesting to me. Let me know if you have any similar interest. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for your voice as well. I’m a little more bold in my Instagram at @tendersong111
In my other poetry and writing, I get more into the nitty-gritty about some of the initiatives for expanding a morality that is become irrelevant to Regenerativity. Im Tackling it from Being in a male body, identifying as being Pansexual/bisexual/beauty-sexual. All those are the same for me. I hope to release some more courageous things soon
All really helpful explanation and suggestions, Nicole, thanks! And also, fantastic stimulus and prompt and nudge for me to reply in full — I'll do that on my own wiki, and link from a comment here when I've done that. I have exciting things to add to this building on it!
Stunning! It's 1am here and I devoured it. The article also gave me great links, such as the Ecovillage Economics, and the term ontological commoning. I am honored you wrote a response piece. I love it, and I'll make sure to know that you were the source of questioning.
Again, thank you for this valuable wealth of information. Yes, we are a generation ahead of our time. The main issue is financing at this point. Can you imagine if the billionaires of the world actually put their resources to good use instead of profiting off outdating or soon-to-be outdated infrastructure or trying to be king of the world (calling out BG).
I'm going to revamp my website based on these resources. I came up with a way on how to finance it years ago at the grassroots level and need to fire up those thought processes again.
I've been waiting 12 years for folks to be ready for this. Thank you for the work you are doing!
The biggest thing holding me back as a village builder -- is that the SolarPunk architecture and technology I dream of building my villages with doesn't exist yet. So for now, I'm helping build those while soaking up as much as I can from you and similar sources about the other aspects of village building.
You can be some of the first to build it! I feel like liminal, beautiful spaces are built in ephemeral spaces like Burning Man, but the real magic will happen when these communities start to be permanent, and when they are also more integrated into official municipalities.
Thank you Nicole for all your suggestions, loved this! We definitely need more villages and also more coverage of the existing ones. Most people have never heard about ecovillages in the first place or have an outdated (hippies 60s) idea of what they actually are.
It's true! This is why modern village building is so exciting. It's important to understand what factors are limiting our growth in order to overcome them.
Thailand is doing a great job. Pun Pun Farm where my family and I live, in Chiang Mai has helped teach thousands of friends how to create small scale farm communities and many are thriving.

I would love to hear all of these things. Looking forward to your full response.
I've written it! See https://wiki.simongrant.org/doku.php/d:2024-04-07 — and I may well add to that page later...
