Benjamin, I’m glad to see your voice working in parallel on these questions. You’ve highlighted well the importance of parallel societies/dual power, collapse-aware framing, civic commons culture, and post-partisan collaboration.
My own focus has been on reaching beyond those already “converted” to collapse awareness or regenerative subcultures. Through Symbiotic Culture, I begin from a spiritual foundation in the Transcendent, which provides a bridge not only for those aligned with bioregional networks but also for faith communities, civic groups, conservatives, and main street businesses and organizations that may not yet speak the language of collapse or regeneration.
I see real opportunity here. We’re both working on bioregional relocalization, though with different emphases. Your work highlights the practical, place-based dimension, while Symbiotic Culture brings in a broader place-based cultural framework—rooted in the Transcendent—that extends bioregional practice to a wider range of people and institutions not yet inside the regenerative silo.
I’d love to explore how our efforts might weave together—parallel streams converging into a more coherent cultural river.
You have been writing an extraordinary series of articles on bioregional and cosmolocal strategy dear Benjamin. I'm awed by the quality of your writing and thinking! Will definitely recommend your substack to my readers.
I think sometimes it’s not about shouting ‘we’re building a new system.’ As the moment you frame it in this way, you create resistance — in people, and even in the field…itself. It’s about just getting in, laying foundations, and letting the work create ripples

I dont call it bioregional or regenerative, but I do it over here at myartproject.org

Phenomenal stuff Benjamin. Glad to be thinking and working cosmolocally along side you and OpenCivics.

I get that you are talking about an inevitable global transformation. But so much of your commentary reflects US primarily
How so?
I think we need your voice at the RegenOS Summit: https://luma.com/snxl0oub
