Really Regenerative’s Community of Practice.
We support our community in many different ways. We host ongoing lunch time learning bites, short learning journeys and POP-Ups in which we share the work of our community with the world to help build the global field of regenerative practice.
POP-UPS
POP-Ups are monthly events where we invite members of the Power of Place community to share stories, insights and learning from their journey into activating place-sourced regeneration in their chosen field of practice.
These community events are open to anyone and are free to join. They run monthly, usually at UK lunch-time to accommodate as many of our international community as possible – those in south-east Asia, Europe, UK, the US/Canada and most of south America.
You can register for these event by clicking on individual events below, at our Linked In page. If you are a POP graduate, notifications will be put in our WhatsApp and Signal groups.
