This is an invitation to Remember, Reconnect, & Regenerate
A life of deep belonging, wholeness, aliveness, and a net positive impact on the earth is only something we can nurture together.
With discernment, creativity, and the steady emergence of collective wisdom, we will transform our worlds together.
This is not a how-to manual. This is a council of deep questions and collective wisdom. We will grow and learn and transform within the collective wisdom that is ready to emerge.
Space is limited to twelve participants, each honored as wisdomkeepers and peers throughout this process.
What you’ll gain:
personal transformation, community connection,
collective wisdom, impactful action,
greater clarity about who you are called to be in the times to come.
Personal Transformation: Develop a renewed sense of belonging and purpose, deeply rooted in your own story, ancestral wisdom, and sense of place.
Community Connection: Forge meaningful relationships of deep trust and mutual respect, creating a circle of support and shared vision.
Collective Wisdom: Experience your own voice in a new way through gathering in circles of collective wisdom, nonhierarchical spaces where your wisdom and the wisdom of others has space to be heard, integrated, and honored.
Impactful Action: Emerge with new visions and tools for regenerative living that empower you to make a real, positive impact in your community and the world.
Hi, I’m Ganga Devi Braun
I am deeply devoted to integrity within and throughout our regenerative movements. I am a member of the Regenesis Institute of Regenerative Practice, but first and foremost I am a constant student of the Living World.
I believe that we all have inherent wisdom, creativity, and gifts.
We can access these gifts through processes that return us to our inherent sense of wholeness, integrity, and belonging.
What the world needs, is us. What we need, is to remember our innate belonging to one another, to ourselves, and to the world.
This is what I’ve designed this council for.
The EDUCATION & EXPERIENCES
I’ve drawn from in creating this course:
Living Systems Theorist: I take the wisdom of Living Systems and Systems Theory and apply them in meaningful and useful ways to our inner life, so we may cultivate regenerative culture from within.
Regenerative Practitioner: After 8 years of hands-in-the-soil development of my own frameworks of Regenerative Living, I took this work to the next level through the Regenesis Institute’s Regenerative Practitioner Series which deepened and expanded my relationship with this essential work that is making deep change around the world. Now, as a member of the Regenesis Institute, I bridge this world of robust theory and powerful frameworks with simple, intuitive, embodied interventions to deepen our experience of life and what it can mean to live regeneratively.
Buckminster Fuller Institute's Design Science Studio: This course was cultivated within this fellowship, the focus of which is innovation for a future that is net positive for 100% of life.
Ordained Interspiritual Minister (One Spirit Seminary '20): Regenerative Living asks us to live big questions, including many questions of subtle and spiritual natures. I am committed to high-integrity spiritual guidance, and continuously exploring the connections between the wisdom of living systems and the wisdom of the world’s mystical traditions.
Trauma of Money Facilitator ('23): There are big questions we must ask ourselves and the systems we are embedded within about the role of money in transforming our world for the better, questions that often must begin with coming to a more empowered relationship within our own relationship with money. I am trained to support my students and clients in navigating the complex dynamics between wealth + well-being through a trauma-informed lens.
Ancestral Connection: Conscious, open eyed relationships with our ancestors is a powerful and necessary element of regenerative living. I am passionate about this key component in unlearning internalized colonial and patriarchal conditioning and returning to our wholeness.
Academic Background: My academic work at New College of Florida and Naropa University wove together the fields of Buddhist philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and research on theories and legacies of ecological and social action.
Global Mentorship: I have been both a mentor and mentee in international forums for regenerative cultural transformation.
Facilitation Expertise: I’m trained in restorative justice circling, women's wisdom circles, & interspiritual dialoguing.
Hands-On Regeneration: I’ve contributed to the creation of multiple food forests, permaculture projects, and community gardens.

FAQs

The live calls are a powerful opportunity for us to deeply weave the threads of our collective wisdom and attendance is strongly encouraged as it is a central experience of this journey.
However, of course circumstantially there may be reasons attendance is not possible, and the value received within this space and community can still be profound.
If you know you will not be able to make one or more of the four live calls, it is up to your discernment as to whether or not you should join. -
I intend to offer this again, but this round comes four years after the first time I offered the course. I am committed to listening to the timing of the spirit of my work, and can’t guarantee a time frame or price point for the future.
If you are listening to your own spirit and it feels right for you to join this round, know how deeply welcome you are.

No, prior experience is not required. I will provide all necessary instruction and guidance for the practices we will be exploring.

In December, you'll receive instructions to access our integrated learning + community platform EMUNAH, where the course materials, calendar of zoom events, and community spaces all live together in one simple online space.
-
I recommend setting aside 2-4 hours per week for engaging with the course materials and attending the live calls.
Much of this time will be taking space for your own deep reflection, for spending time in nature, listening to your body and the living world, and deepening into your relationship with yourself.
-
You can do this course self-paced. The live calls will all be recorded, and the additional materials you can take in on your own time. If you plan on going this route and won't be joining any live calls, we recommend having friends or partners join you, see the note below.

No worries, we want you to enjoy your holidays to the fullest! All live calls will be recorded and materials can be accessed at your convenience.
