ABOUT RE:GEN
ReGen Festival is a Journey of Giving, Guided by the Heartbeat of the Earth.
Human connection is the sense of closeness and belonging a person can experience when having supportive relationships with those around them.
​
We offer to you a natural paradise to stoke your fire and quench your desire for those connections that we have all missed out on in our upside down world.
Come and join us in our playground for the old souls, new souls and all souls in between. A space for new friendships to grow and old ones to deepen. Connect the parts of yourself and your community that have been severed by separateness.
​
Whether you make those connections dipping your toes in the swimming hole, deep conversation around the fire, stomping up dirt on the dance floor, attending a workshop or having a blissful snuggle puddle under the trees is up to you!
​
In a world full of disconnection seek Reconnection.
​
Re:Gen was created by founders Alistair and Olivia Potter after they experienced the magic that is Burning Man. Seeing a few things that they would like to be done differently, they set up Re:Gen with a similar gift economy ethos. However, instead of burning an effigy, Re:Gen is planting trees and instead of leave no trace, we are leaving a better place.
​
Every ticket purchased pays for one tree to be planted on the land, and development to beautify the property for future events. So far over 1100 trees have been planted and significant earthworks have been done to make the site even more magical than before.
​
Every person attending is encouraged to bring a gift to make the event better. The choice of gift is down to each individuals abilities and means and can be as simple as a massage or putting on a sound camp. So let the magic run free, the choice is yours.
TRANSFORMATION
We are driven by the belief in the power of transformation. We aim to create an environment where attendees, like Olivia and Alistair, can experience profound change, personal growth, and lasting impact.
GIVING AND SHARING
ReGen is not just a festival; it's a platform for giving and sharing. We encourage all participants to offer the gift of their presence, their talents, and their love to one another, fostering a sense of community and connection.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
Our gift is twofold. It extends not only to the people who attend but also to the planet. Through the act of giving, we plant the seeds of a sustainable future, symbolized by the trees we nurture and grow.
HEARTBEAT OF THE EARTH
We listen to the heartbeat of the Earth, acknowledging our deep connection with the natural world. Our festival is a rhythmic dance with the planet, where every beat is in harmony with the land and its resources.
