Regenerate X - Intentions 2022

Happy New Year! Oh, what a blessing to be alive, right here right now!

A new year is a chance for new thoughts, sensations, emotions, creations and connections. A chance for heightened awareness and intentions for life.

We are?Canay & Rudy, partners in business, life, parenting and growth. 2021 has been a year of bringing our children to Ibiza, starting our intergenerational learning environment at home and online, focus on regenerating our minds, hearts and bodies, serving our communities and clients with passion and eliminating anything that does not serve our mission.

We start this new year with even more dedicated commitment to life, and serving to life, through regenerating leadership and businesses.

We call our focused mission and services: “Regenerate X.”

Regenerate X is a conscious transformation mission for leaders to harmonise humanity with nature & technology.

By placing a multiplicity in the form of an ‘X’ between NATURE, HUMANITY & TECHNOLOGY, we call for a radical realignment between natural and built technologies, business environments, with the conviction that humanity has the power not only to restore, recover, and replenish the natural world but to regenerate it.

The “X” factor is the regeneration of the leaders themselves, by daring to regenerate our thoughts and emotions, with action.

Join us, to Regenerate X. Now let’s regenerate some intentions.

And don’t forget to check our New Year’s gift to you at the bottom of this post.

Why Intentions?

Aligning actions and behaviours with priorities is the ultimate leadership.?

With intentions, we integrate our values and our daily reality, in harmony with our most profound guide: nature.

Our intentions are far more than to achieve a goal, an end: they are not just toward intellectual and performance based conclusions, but are an active, living present.

We treat the world as we treat ourselves. We are the seeds of our impact. We become leaders when we take full responsibility, first of ourselves. We lead for life, when we are coherent. We lead for fear, when we are in survival mode.

Our invitation is to become aware of our own intentions and energy.?Then we can take the responsibility of our impact?in shaping reality, and future, NOW — in the way we think, talk and act on our intentions.

How?

We invite you to regenerate these intentions with us, and beyond;

• Read & Relax:?Enjoy the five intentions, and immerse yourself in them with our recommended “Relax” experiences?(RlX).
• Reflex:?At the end of each intention, you will find five questions, to reflect on your own reality, and vision with practical action.

What?

We chose five intentions, each honouring one of the five elements of nature.

1. DEEPer Tech: EARTH
2. GENdR: WATER
3. NFT Alchemy: FIRE
4. METTAverse?: AIR
5. DAOism: ETHER

1. DEEPer Tech. Earth

The same way deep tech startups often require longer term, large investments, substantial research, and need a longer time for possible commercial success, the same way we see the need to deep-dive, innovate and invest in balancing our own inner ecology and natural systems before building more ‘incremental’ innovations.

Over millions of years, the brain’s circuitry has been shaped to only focus on the three-dimensional world. It doesn’t experience energy because it’s not wired for it, and yet, when the person begins to have the interaction with energy, new neural circuits are created.

This process may take thousands or even millions of generations until the dominant gene is finally expressed.

How can we speed up to go beyond our old ways of thinking?

We first need to unlearn.

Unlearn our anthropocentric education: To lead to a regenerative future by encouraging a sense of wonder about the world around us- learn better from nature:?from trees,?from fungi,?from octopus.

RlX:

Unlearn our limitations: To open ourselves to trusting the intelligence of our bodies, and our abilities to?learn from the unified field.

Going beyond our limited thinking, and feeling, and opening ourselves to higher dimensions, and learning from nature to upgrade our natural technology is what we call “DEEPer Tech”

Regenerate X intentions start with and focuses on “transformation of the self” to innovate more consciously and abundantly.

RefleX:

• What are your pain areas in leadership development and learning programs?
• What are the first focus areas you would like to upgrade yourself and teams with Deeper Tech?
• What is the importance of investing to upgrade yourself and your leadership?
• What are the examples from nature and technology that inspire you to apply to human development?
• Who would you be and what would your company serve, beyond time and space metrics? How does it feel like to be a leader, who is free and whole?

2. GENdR. Water

A global reimagining, re-expression and regeneration of gender is happening. The challenges we as a world face today require new ideas and approaches, and that’s possible only when everyone brings their unique perspective, skills, creativity and experience to the table, free of any gender-based constraints.

Gender harmony is when the masculine and feminine are balanced and complementary to each other. Like a harmonious dance, male and female can work together, inside and among us, seamlessly and even more gracefully.?Womxn, men and non-binary can complement each other’s strengths and accomplish a purposeful and regenerative task. This improves understanding between the sexes and reduces avoidable conflicts inside and among us. Eventually, it increases harmony and brings about regeneration.

RlX:

RefleX:

• What is your gender story?
• What are the barriers to make gender inclusivity a priority in your hiring and promotion processes?
• What would be the impact of more conscious gender awareness and leadership in your company for your stakeholders?
• What are conscious gender inclusive language, practices and spaces that you are inspired by?
• How can organisations be the safe places for people to experience, experiment and express their identities more freely?

3. NFT Alchemy. Fire

The $1 billion market for non-fungible tokens has seemingly come out of nowhere to capture the imagination of artists and blockchain enthusiasts all over the world. The projects range from eight-bit pixelated portraits to elaborate ink and paint creations.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique and non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, usually associated with reproducible digital files such as photos, videos, and audio.

Thinking NFT is just another hype might label you as old-fashioned instantly. Considering?Nike recently acquired RTFKT Studios, a virtual sneaker and collectibles startup, and PAK’s sell of his latest NFT Artwork ‘The Merge’ for a record $91.8 Million USD, a further validation for NFTs as a medium of art and innovation that could only be integrated through blockchain technology.

But there is more. NFTs are already moving beyond the early art and media hype and are now being transferred for physical land titles and real estate. An ever-evolving moving space.

How can we alchemise the lessons of business as was, and make it a regenerative design with NFTs? As RegenerateX we invite you to look at problems as potentials;

• Creator Impact:?Creators, youth and many segments who were ignored before, can now own their own automation of the tools and sales processes that amplify them. Creators can in-power themselves just through doing what they love to do every single day. There’s always been separation for people that make the tools and then being able to use the tools to create content. But when we have a technology that learns from content, all of a sudden, we’re democratising wealth, information and power creation and distribution and?closing the loop for more inclusivity, diversity & equality.
• Environment Impact:?More and more artists, activists and theorists are responding to the environmental cost of crypto art with suggested?eco friendly paths?and?mechanisms. Read?Toward a New Ecology of Crypto Art: A Hybrid Manifesto

RlX:

RefleX:

• What are the risks and barriers of NFT Alchemy for your leadership and company?
• What (potential) areas make NFT valuable for you and your comp
• What’s the connection between NFTs and your services for your stakeholders?
• Beyond your services, and products, what are the potential other areas you can consider to use NFT strategically?
• How can you design a regenerative business model based on NFT Alchemy?

4. METTAverse. Air?

METT an ancient Pali (Buddhist) term meaning loving-kindness, friendliness, benevolence and non-violence. It is a strong wish for the welfare and happiness of others.

“Metta /?m?t?/?(in Theravada Buddhism): meditation focused on the development of unconditional love for all beings.”

We use “METTAverse” instead of metaverse, as an active expression and emphasis on the essential super power, that is important in regenerating hybrid experiences with an impact on many generations: “Unconditional Love for All Beings.”

“The metaverse” refers to immersive, global, always-on, omni-experiential spaces for entertainment, learning, play, creation, communication, socialising and more. Its potential dimensions are still emerging, but imagine the convergence of virtual and augmented reality technologies, resulting in a navigable 3D immersive world containing near-infinite content options for any audiences or players. More than in most games and online experiences that preceded this, metaverse users will build and shape the space they use. Given the extensive personal agency they acquire there, users can be co-creators, and hopefully not just consumers.

You can go anywhere, do anything, learn anything and become anyone.

• Experience & Innovate:?Our physical world being augmented infinitely with virtual assets, 3D scanned elements from different natural ecosystems.
• Empathy:?Live in someone’s or something’s world, using your avatar to experience different realities and shift your perspective.
• Learn:?Limitless micro-live-learning and on-demand content opportunities. Instead of making hard rules and separating teachers and learners, allow learning from each other or artificial intelligence to learn and then share that knowledge with everybody on the planet. Immediacy of the feedback and the speed of learning.
• Change your face, name, gender, role, body, clothes, accessories. When you change your avatar how does that change the way that you communicate? When you change your avatar, how do you change the way you walk, you think or your feel?

Like in all Regenerate X Intentions, Mettaverse starts with us.

How can we be really present, in one verse, say physically, have a courageous look at ourselves, facing what is, without the need to change anything?

RlX:

RefleX:

• What is your (brand, service, product) presence that you’d like to start or grow on Mettaverse?
• What are your top intentions and potential impact areas with Mettaverse?
• How can Met you use nature (sacred geometry,?nature’s sound?and?colours) as the design language for your Mettaverse experiences?
• How can you use Mettaverse to regenerate unconditional love?

- Be the unlearning tool to self love, instead of self hate?

- Help humanity to become more conscious about everyday choices, instead of creating addiction to outside stimuli

- Make a positive impact for the wellbeing of all?

- Promote authentic sense of belonging and community, and peace-instead of depression, bullying and hate speeches? Check this Non-Violent UX poster from digitalwave.

5. DAOism. Ether

The roots of Daoism (or Taoism), a philosophical and spiritual tradition of Chinese origin, go back at least to the 4th century BCE. The basic idea of the Daoists was to enable people to realise that, since human life is really only a small part of a larger process of nature, the only human actions which ultimately make sense are those which are in accord with the flow of Nature — the Dao or the Way.

On the other hand,?DAOs (Decentralised Autonomous Organisations) are communities that are hosted on the blockchain and collectively owned by their members. In a Web3 context, DAOs are communities at their core, so building a successful community is a first priority of the organisation (unlike in traditional companies, where community can be one of many priorities). They also have a sustainable business model built-in because tokenisation unlocks a multitude of potential revenue streams.

DAOs represent the emerging trend that is driving a deep, long-lasting transformation of the workplace that combines cultural, digital, and philosophical belief systems. This is attracting investment from other token projects and talent from digital natives from across the globe, thereby creating an experience for all participants that results in a more resilient and in-powered workforce and more community participation.

RlX:

With Regenerate X, our intention is to integrate the philosophy and values of the DAO, inspiredralised community technology. While together, let’s not forget the classics like the?Tao Te Ching?( “Classic of thee to cultivating a life of peace, serenity, and compassion leading towards the Tao, harmony with the life force of the universe.

RefleX:

• How to lower the barrier using/creating DAOs to meaningful corporate contribution?
• How can you use DAOs to coordinate decision-making at scale?
• What princsm can help your company make a positive impact for your stakeholders?
• What are some DAO cases that inspire you to your own community-led business evolution?
• What real life values do you commit to regenerate with technology-coded projects like DAOs?
