Our People
Really Regenerative's RegeneratorsThe Really Regenerative Centre CIC is a community interest company led by a group of directors and supported by a wide collective of regenerative practitioners from all over the world. Many of our colleagues have developed their knowledge and practice in our learning journey programmes and joined us to further develop that practice in the field. We are all committed to enabling the conditions for regenrative economies, ecologies and cultures from place wherever we work in the world.

Having spent 30 years in international development, brand strategy, communications, and sustainability design, Jenny embarked on a new learning journey seeking strategies and processes commensurate with the global systemic crisis. Regeneration was the answer she found. The fractals of place is the territory that grounds all our work. Jenny leads programme development and place-based institutional support. Her place is Midhurt, Sussex.
