This program takes place in magic locations in Portugal:

The locations provide context and inspiration, and are aligned with the process and content of the program.
program structure
The Wisdom of the Regenerative Forest serves us as a metaphor for concentration and distribution of societal flows in regeneration and the structure of the program builds on these, illustrated below.
module 1
In the Foliage, we dream: Activating awareness from purpose to unravel system needs and abundances we learn to sense what is emerging so that all that is alive can be included – the journey: connecting fully with who we are, individually and collectively.
module 2
In the soil, we plan: Learning to discern the essence of what unites us, we unlock our passion to commit to the tree that will blossom from the soil we prepare – the journey: initiating our regeneration journey, activating our resources fully.
module 3
In the tree trunk, we do: Building consensus for action to engage with the planet we learn to gather resources, only to distribute them to the foliage, to tune and to reframe – the journey: envisioning and diving into the totally good future we know we can be part of.
module 4
In the forest, we celebrate: Seeing the system as a whole we celebrate in wisdom to promote system synergy, flow and regeneration – the journey: tapping into the abundance of our societal system so we may live and regenerate.
program description
The program commits boldly to a Totally Good Future for every being. Creating space for possibilities to unfold, the process focuses on building collectively on the common ground made up of the unique expression of every individual, while activating personal responsibility and collective trust for transformation.
The paradigm shift taking place currently asks us to reframe what we do and how we can do it together. In our intense work-life schedule it is challenging to find freedom to address deeper questions individually and collectively to become who we are becoming now.
During the program, participants are guided by their curiosity and explore new perspectives for their own life path and for the wider system; they follow their compassion, to connect intentionally with past, present and future; they activate their courage to act from a place of purpose, belonging, interdependence and collective consensus; they enter the mindset of celebration to incorporate their learnings.
tools & dynamics
The program celebrates our learnings as a fundamental part of incorporating transformation into all our lives. We designed new tools and dynamics and have also adapted existing tools inspired by models other insightful people developed (including Dragon Dreaming, System Thinking, Syntropy, Spiral Dynamics, Design Thinking, among many others), to host a carefully curated, immersive and meaningful learning experience for all.
Special thanks to Karl Henrik Robert for developing the “Backcasting” dynamic and also to Karim Benammar for developing the “Reframing” tool.
We resonate with the positioning of our partners Associação Terra Sintrópica as a non-negotiable:
“Regenerate by Doing.”
Facilitated activities during the program include moments of contemplation, dialogue, conversations on deep topics in the group, creative discussions, meditative walking, conscious moving, visiting possible futures, looking through different lenses, exploring new possibilities, always together. There is a strong sense of coherence between what we believe, what we do and how we question and are open to learning.
An invitation to create coherence between what we believe, express, do all the while questioning and being open to learning.
testimonials
“If I was asked to describe the Rebundance Leadership program in two words, I would chose inspiration and expansion. Inspiration because that is what I received from each facilitator, theme addressed, challenge set, but also from each colleague, many of whom are now my friends. Expansion because that is what I felt along the months, as not just my knowledge expanded but also my network of inspiring people, of projects I work on, taking me further! I recommend you to embark on this adventure!”

“This was a truly magic 12-day journey, a journey of emotions, dreams, discoveries, and fear… and so much friendship that I believe it will help me and my organization transform towards our bigger goal, which is to contribute to a better world, to a life with dignity for all people, to the regeneration of the planet, to the resilience of local communities, and to a real culture of caring for one another. Everything in this program, everything, from the regenerative and regenerating food to the fantastic Rebundance team, to the facilitators and my colleagues who have become friends and accomplices in the journey, all contributed to make this the most innovative and transformative process I have experienced to date!”
— Isabel Benedito
“In this environment of freedom and trust, I have been able to tune up my compass to navigate life and also expand horizons in the relations of self, social systems and nature. Learning the tools, frameworks and “lenses” provided by the program brought me a lot of clarity and peace facing challenges for growth and fulfilment. I feel very fortunate and grateful to have had this experience and for becoming part of this growing community of beautiful people, joyfully striving for awareness and regeneration by doing.”
