Corona Update
We are moving forward with optimism that the social environment will be supportive to hold the physical gathering on our scheduled dates for September 18-20th. If for some reason due to public health and the corona situation we are not able to physically gather, we will host an interim online virtual ReGenerative Solutions Summit on our scheduled dates; and reschedule our physical gathering for sometime in 2021. We will be conscious about the health and well-being of our community and planet when making these decisions. At this moment we intend to hold the physical gathering on the scheduled dates with healthy and conscious social conduct! If we reschedule the physical gathering we can either fully refund ticket purchases or participants can hold on to ticket for the rescheduled date.

Earth 2.0 Research Project & Educational EcoVillage Fundraiser
Evolution 2020 is a fundraiser for the Earth 2.0 Research Project – the Next Evolution of Social Systems. Our mission for Phase I is to raise the resources necessary to design, develop and build an educational ecovillage that demonstrates values, ethics, principles, systems and technologies of regenerative community development. We are designing a regenerative community blueprint that can be replicated worldwide. The blueprint is adaptable to various ecosystems and can be implemented at various scales to provide local environmental solutions. YOUR participation in Evolution 2020 is helping us accomplish this mission!

Conscious CommUnity Celebration (Use of substances)
This is a conscious commUnity celebration where we have the opportunity to experience the beauty of a natural high of life… connection to nature, friends, music, love and laughter! This is NOT the type of gathering that encourages getting intoxicated with the use of external chemical substances or hard drugs. We support mindful, moderate, conscious, conscientious, sacred and intentional use of natural substances that support your already natural, healthy and joyful expression of being. Moderate and conscious enjoyment of alcohol, plants or herbs is welcome. There is to be NO use of illegal drugs or hard alcohol on the land (beer, wine, kombucha are ok). If anyone abuses this invitation of conscious natural substance usage they will be asked to leave the gathering. Thank you for honoring the intentional way of living and the sacredness of the land at Madre Grande Monastery. It is beautiful to remember that we have the tools and all we need inside of us to experience natural states of ecstasy and elevated awareness whenever we choose (without the need of external substances)!
United Earth Nation & Alliance
Evolution 2020 is working together with a collaborative global team to develop and create the United Earth Nation & Alliance (UEN/UEA). Evolution 2020 will help raise the resources necessary to create our 1st demonstration model of regenerative community development at village scale. We are grateful to be exploring possibilities of how to build our network of regenerative villages, towns and cities on sovereign UEN land. The UEN/UEA is a unified international network of sovereign lands and a decentralized global governing system that upholds the values, ethics and policies of the United Earth Charter (currently being drafted & revised). The UEN is governed by local (bioregional) citizens that serve as members of a unified, integrated, distributed and decentralized global governing system. We are nurturing the evolution of a human species and presence that lives in peace, balance and harmony with the planet as a whole.

Solar Energy Alliance
One of our Evolution 2020 partners is the Solar Energy Alliance (SEA)! The SEA is a national network of environmentally conscious citizens, organizations and businesses dedicated to stewarding the health of our local communities and environment. We currently have partnerships with over 120 first class companies nationwide and are active in 16 states. The SEA mission is to collectively install solar energy on over 20,000 homes and businesses by the end of 2020. Installing rooftop solar is one of the easiest and most direct ways citizens can positively impact the environment by minimizing the amount of CO2 being released into the atmosphere from fossil fuels.
We have several ways you can participate with the Solar Energy Alliance right NOW!
ReGenerative Community Development
Our objective is to provide regenerative and holistic solutions to the current social and environmental challenges confronting the planet. Our development of community based projects will include a full spectrum of scale-linking design systems and solutions from neighborhood villages to urban planning for smart cities. These projects will support the holistic health and well being of communities worldwide.
Primary Objectives (ReGenerative Community Blueprint)
(1) Design and develop regenerative societal systems at optimally efficient scale
- neighborhood, village and community scale
- urban planning scale for smart cities
(2) Utilize principles of ecological whole systems design to create regenerative…
- natural building systems
- organic food systems
- clean energy systems
- clean water systems
- closed-loop waste management systems
(3) Heal the personal, social, cultural and environmental traumas that have occurred as a result of imbalanced, antiquated and inadequate societal systems
(4) Work in collaboration with the Local Earth 2.0 Research Project and other partners to create a prototype village of approximately 150 people that demonstrates regenerative materials, structures, products and systems. This prototype village will: (current numbers are approximations – we will refine numbers and percentages as research continues and information is refined)
- Internally generate 100% of electricity needs from clean, renewable sources
- Source 70% of structural building materials within 150 mile radius
- Source additional 20% of materials within 1,200 mile radius
- Building materials will be natural, renewable, non-toxic and durable
- Internally source 95% of water needs from local natural sources and methods
- Internally produce and grow 75% of the village food needs
- Source an additional 15% of food needs from within a 150 mile radius
- Internally manage and re-utilize 85% of village waste
- 10% of waste to be recycled within 100 miles radius
