Q3 2022 - Europe urban community summer
TLDR
A European summer exploring urban community models across Germany, the UK, Portugal, and Turkey, connecting with regenerative projects and building the Regen Tribe network.
Hey Regen Tribe family!
This quarter has been full of exploration, collaboration, and community magic as we traveled through Europe and connected with regenerative projects across the globe. Here's a look back at everything we got up to in Q3 2022:
**July 2022: Celebrations & New Connections**
July took us to Amsterdam, where we celebrated Mike's birthday and connected with an Australian art community from Melbourne. For five days, we immersed ourselves in city exploration, brainstorming sessions, and tribe activations. The Australian crowd brought their expertise in immersive experience creation, art, and conscious connection, leaving us inspired for future events we'll be hosting.
Happy birthday Michael! We love you!
& Thank you, Amsterdam, for your magic!
From there, we headed to Turkey to connect with Mehmet Mahruki, founder of Bonjuk Bay, a regenerative community space on the west coast of Turkey. This holistic beachside community is focused on human connection, environmental sustainability, and community curation. We're excited about opportunities for cross-pollination between our projects in Turkey and Tulum, with teams and community members moving between these spaces seasonally. Learn more about Bonjuk Bay at bonjukbay.com and on Instagram ig.com/bonjukbay.
Another unforgettable experience in Turkey was attending the immersive festival Echoes from Agartha in Cappadocia. This event brought together holistic activations, local community integration, and a focus on sustainability. We're now exploring ways to collaborate with their team for next year's event and beyond, including a potential co-creation at Sanctuary OM once the space is ready in 2023.

**August 2022: Berlin City design study**
In August, we spent a full month in Berlin, Germany, diving deep into the city's architecture, art, and vibrant sub-communities. One highlight was our visit to a community center that hosted a Mushroom Workshop, where we learned about the fascinating world of fungi.
This experience left us inspired for future urban community initiatives!
**September 2022: Collaboration & Connections**
We kicked off the month in Portugal (September 9-15) where Oscar and Julia participated in a magical gathering at the Traditional Dream Factory.
This collaboration, focused on community creation, resulted in a co-created Community Guide & Book, packed with insights and best practices for building intentional communities.

Next, Oscar traveled to London (September 15-20) where he visited the Sikh community house and connected with the local art magic community, further exploring the intersection of art, spirituality, and community living.
In that time Julia participated in a biannual event for regenerators from all around the world in Portugal - Gathering of Tribes.

It's been a quarter filled with rich experiences and new connections. We can't wait to bring all these inspirations into future regenerative events and projects. Stay tuned for what's next!
With gratitude,
The Regen Tribe Collective
