About Regenerative Business and AI
And why they are transforming us and society as interconnected beings
“People get addicted or attached to substances like coffee, alcohol, sex or drugs. But the main thing we all get addicted to is ourselves. The most important work is to detach from ourselves and turn our attention towards the whole. “ - Choeze Kochen Rinpoche
Indigenous wisdom recognises that most of what we don’t see in life and nature is actually hidden and might be more important than the world we can observe.
In today’s contemporary world, science and technology have become the new fundamentalists in today’s society. Everything has to be measurable as we got obsessed with efficiency, comparison, and growth. However, the most important expressions of human nature, culture and connection, are not measurable.
Looking at nature, what nourishes a tree is invisible to us: its roots, its source, how it collects water to grow, its connections with other trees underneath, and the infinite network of mycelium interconnecting individual plants and organisms.
So, as the health of your own soil and surroundings determine the health of your neighbourhood or region, so will your (invisible) relationship with self, determine the health of your relationships with others and nature, now and in the future.
The work that is emerging for us, as RegenerateX, is to nourish and nurture the invisible within, the connections with each other and our relationship with nature.
The most urgent and important work to do for us today in society is that invisible work of regenerating ourselves and our relationships with each other and nature, like the invisible world of trees and mycelium.
News from us:
Last months has been a transformational journey for us. We had to readjust ourselves to a major life experience by taking it slow, with compassion and resilience during hardship.
Our co-founder Rudy had open-heart surgery (aorta-valve replacement) in Belgium. While he has been recovering and regenerating his heart, we understood once more what is important and how to live good lives. We are grateful for his health and well-being and inspired by his renewed joy and passion for life. More will follow, in his own words, when he is ready. For now, we are taking it slow, and with beauty. We are immensely grateful to the whole heart surgeon team of The AZ Sint-Jan in Bruges, as well as the Belgian, Spanish and EU social security systems making such interventions possible.
Canay joined Memri, the Regenerative AI platform, as a co-leader. Read our special invitation newsletter on how to get involved in the Regenerative AI movement on Artificial Intelligence Appreciation Day.
We organised our 2nd Heart Masters and 1st RegenerateX Conference in Ibiza with an amazing group of entrepreneurs, regenerators, artists, experts and thought leaders, including Daniel Christian Wahl, Masterine Tülin Bilen, Ronnie Patel, Adib Dada, Daniel Pinchbeck and many game changers. With gratitude to our regenerative event partners Memri, Hypha and Difuso, we will be sharing our learnings and co-creations in the upcoming weeks.

“At the very centre of all human life is energy, psychic energy. It is the force of that energy that drives us, that surges continually up in us, that must repeatedly spend and renew itself in us, that must perpetually be reaching for something beyond itself in order to satisfy its own insatiable appetite.” - Vivian Gornick

“If you and I are truly in love, if I go to the place in me that is love and you to the place in you that is love, we are “together” in Love. We start to understand that what love means is that we are sharing a common state together. That state exists in you and it exists in me.” - Ram Dass
Understanding The Regenerative Business Movement
PODCAST with Rudy De Waele by Scott Britton
Scott has a great newsletter “Consciousness ∞ The Doorway to Human Evolution”, where he writes about his personal exploration of expanding consciousness and human evolution and where he regularly invites guests to his podcast. RegenerateX co-founder Rudy de Waele was invited recently to talk about the concept of Regenerative Business and its growing movement.
What I was reminded of in this conversation is how much of our current systems are a reflection of egocentric consciousness. As advanced as we think we are in business and the like, we are still operating out of almost a colonial model that feels compelled to strive, conquer, and maximise to feel safe.
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given how human consciousness is the substrate of what we create in the world. With this understanding, it is clear that our systems will go through a similar awakening process and transformation as more and more humans uplift themselves. In this way, self-awareness precedes system awareness.
Listen to the interesting dialogue that followed.
Work with RegenerateX!
RegenerateX creates innovative spaces & experiences (for leaders, teams & entrepreneurs) where regenerative inspiration, learning and connection can emerge and be integrated.
We bring different elements together: nature, different cultures, relationships, design & processes, interactions, ways of being, etc. In a dance of interaction, magic can emerge between all the elements in the present, to create space and experiences, connections and relations between humans, planet and universe, and create the space where new insights or feelings can be integrated.
