Welcome to the Rēgenerative School!
Catalyzing transformative learning to build a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world
Rē works through education, research and civic engagement activities to foster regenerative processes which add to the abundance and resilience of ecological, social and economic communities.
Amplifying your Impact for 2026
Support Rē’s in 2026 with triple-matched funds!
At Rē we are exploring and further defining a new paradigm of regenerative knowledge and practice that goes beyond development, that sees beyond sustainability.
Sustainable development asks: how can we minimize our collective harm to the planet?
The regenerative approach asks: how do we as a species make our planet better by being here?
How do we design practices and systems that add to the health and abundance of the environment and our communities?
How can we together catalyze transformational healing change for our soil, our waters, our mountains, our oceans, and ourselves?
How can we cultivate both the inner landscape even as we tend to our outer landscape?
Finding our way towards collectively answering these questions is the mission, curricular focus, and ongoing learning community of Rē.
As the world changes, we need this powerful, community-orientated spirit of regeneration. The way forward is often unclear, but we know that through learning in a participatory process together, we can co-create regenerative cultures.
Rē is the Regenerative School
What can we create when we RēImagine Together?
Amplifying your Impact for 2026
Support Rē in 2026 with triple-matched funds!
We are deeply grateful to share a moment of profound generosity and community care.
A recent gift has been made to Rē: The Regenerative School in loving memory of a long-time friend from The Good Earth Conservation Trust. Dedicated to deep engagement in local life and community, they found meaning in growing gardens and caring for shared spaces. As an active participant in Rē gatherings and workshops, they aligned and supported Rē’s work with regenerative gardens and community-centered education. Rē is honored to steward this gift and continues to support gardens and communities as a living reflection of these shared values.
In a powerful act of collective generosity, a strong supporter of Rē, who wishes to remain anonymous, has stepped forward to amplify this moment. For a limited time, all donations of every dollar given will be triple matched.
Upcoming events from us and our network
Circular Time
Time is not linear. Time curves. So why are you still using a linear calendar and pretending that you can chart your life in a straight line?
Multiple dates available
RēGarden
There are so many ways we can reconnect land and people for the regeneration of both. Community gardening is one of them.
This past year, we’ve been developing a Community Garden in Amesbury, MA. Most of this organic, nutritious food that we grow we are able to donate to an organiation that helps support vulnerable communities.
A Garden Series
In the summer of 2024, Rē, in collaboration with Sequoia Samanvaya, created a series of social media posts about plants in our gardens. We recognize that growing plants is not just a biological process, but a cultural one deeply embedded in our history, beliefs, and traditions. The way we interact with plants reflects our understanding of the world around us and our place within it. Each section rē-integrates a combination of nutrition facts about the plant, some of the myths, folklore and stories around each plant, as well as growing tips and recipes. This booklet gathers them together. We hope you enjoy these insights, and that some of this information is helpful for your own garden, your table, and your overarching enjoyment of plants and food!
RēGathering
Regeneration requires collaboration and community building. Gathering together is such an important way of doing this!
Our gatherings include cultivating the Inner Landscape, deep learning and community building.
We offer regular gatherings in Amesbury, MA: these include summer gatherings in the garden as well as gatherings with warm soup in rich conversation in people’s living rooms – we call it the Living Room Series!
We also offer occasional Retreats for community nourishment.

Partners and Community Supporters
Rē partners with organizations that support regenerative practices and promotes community by uplifting education, research and civic engagement activities to add to the abundance and resilience of ecological and social systems. Some of our current community supporters include:
Regeneration happens – literally – through us making links, stretching the social and ecological tissue across the gaps that the histories of colonization and non-sustainability have brought us.
We do our work through and in community and in collaboration with others.
Please reach out to us to explore mutually supportive partnerships.
BE A VOLUNTEER
The Spirit of Volunteering Can Support Everyone
We appreciate both in person and online volunteers! We have locations in both Tennessee and Amesbury, MA – the needs of each place are different.
In Amesbury, we can use support in the garden; photographers and people interested in local community engagement.
In Fayetteville TN, we recently engaged with our partners in a clean-up trip to areas impacted by Hurricane Helene. Please keep in touch to find out more about how this initiative is developing.
