Modern Ancestral Develpment for a Regenerative Earth
Regenerative Hub
Our Manifesto
What is best for Nature is best for Humans.
When nature thrives, people thrive. Healthy soil gives us nourishing food, clean water sustains our lives, and resilient forests protect our climate.
It is undeniable that caring for the Earth is the surest way to care for ourselves and future generations.
MADRE is a global regenerative hub: a living platform where ancestral wisdom and modern-systems-design converge to restore the health of ecosystems, communities and economies.
Regeneration:
Restoring and rebuilding ecosystems, socities and economies so they thrive together again.
While sustainability focuses on reducing harm, regeneration invites us to go further.
It means replenishing, restoring, and enhancing the vitality of nature, and ourselves.
Step into the circle. Receive monthly stories, insights, and invitations for a regenerative future.
Imagine a world where regeneration is the norm: resilient bioregions, circular economies and embodied leadership operating within planetary boundaries.

Frequently asked questions
Regeneration means actively restoring and enhancing living systems, soils, water cycles, biodiversity, social bonds and economies, whereas sustainability focuses on maintaining existing conditions. Regenerative practice leaves places stronger than they were before.
Sustainability often means reducing harm and maintaining current conditions. Regeneration focuses on restoring and improving systems so they are in better shape than before — which strengthens resilience, supports long-term prosperity, and creates lasting value for both people and the planet.
MADRE is for entrepreneurs, investors, community leaders, policy-makers and anyone who wants to contribute to a healthier future for people and planet. No prior expertise is required.
RegenTalks (Regenerative Talks) are live sessions featuring practitioners and change‑makers who present practical case studies, emerging frameworks and lessons learned. Each talk includes time for audience Q&A and peer exchange.
After our pilot in Peru’s Sacred Valley (November 12th-16th), we will announce additional sessions in diverse bioregions such as Costa Rica, Mexico, Portugal. Sign up to receive updates!
The Madre Collective is our global community of leaders, partners and changemakers. Members collaborate in field labs, immersive experiences, Regenerative Talks and digital forums. To join, apply via the Madre Hub or contact us for partnership opportunities.
A bioregion is a naturally defined area shaped by shared ecological features—such as watersheds, climate, soil, and native species—as well as the human cultures that have co-evolved within them. Unlike political borders, bioregions reflect the logic of living systems.
They matter because regeneration is most effective when it’s rooted in the specific relationships, rhythms and needs of place. Bioregions offer a practical framework for aligning governance, food systems, education, and economies with the natural integrity of each territory.
Where we stand today:
While the concept of bioregions has existed since the 1970s, its practical application is gaining momentum. Examples include:
- Bioregional Learning Centre (UK): https://bioregion.org.uk/
- Bioregional Regeneration Practice (Global): https://www.regenerativelifehub.org/practice-groups
- OnePlanet Living – Bioregional UK: https://www.bioregional.com/one-planet-living
- Regenerate Costa Rica (short film): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzEE9BvW7IQ
- Thrivability Zone (Northern California): https://thrivability.zone/
- Living Landscapes Australia: https://www.livinglandscapes.org.au/
Though still emerging, the global movement toward bioregional thinking is accelerating—and MADRE contributes to this transition by grounding all its work in the cultural and ecological specificities of place.
Through Strategic Stewardship, MADRE provides tailored advisory on business models, investment frameworks and operational shifts. We help embed regenerative principles into governance, finance and project planning..
No. Madre’s field labs occur in varied bioregions, but our digital platform, Regenerative Talks and R‑Index tools are accessible worldwide. You can participate remotely or apply to host a local lab.
