We’re hosting a three-month pilot that brings together emergent leaders and changemakers from across the Fraser Lowland.
Nominees and applicants will be invited into a shared community with:
Eight domain judges will help select up to 32 participants to take part in deeper, in-person intensives focused on collaboration and capacity-building. From this group, up to 8 people will receive $2,500 to support a one-month project of their own design.
Thanks to the generous support of Thaumazo's donors and the Localism Fund, these funds will be provided via Ethereum.
As part of the community, participants will have opportunities to:
Create a Character Sheet
Share who you are as a changemaker—your story, values, skills, and lived experience.
Build a Party
Meet other changemakers, find collaborators, and discover sources of mutual support.
Map the Region
Explore the Fraser Lowland through eight facets of the Metacrisis, identifying shared challenges and opportunities.
Brainstorm Projects
Develop ideas for meaningful “moves”—real-world actions that respond to local needs.
Make Moves
Carry out projects individually or together that help strengthen our land, communities, and systems.
Celebrate and Reflect
Share stories, documentation, and learnings from what you’ve done.
Join Quests and Workshops
Participate in experiences designed to deepen connection, skill-building, and understanding of bioregional, regenerative, and resilience-focused work.
Throughout January, we’ll accept nominations and applications from people working across eight domains to make life better in the Fraser Lowland.
All accepted applicants are invited into the broader community space, focused on supporting emergent leaders engaged in regeneration, resilience, and relief work. You'll be introduced both to other participants and to mentors, judges and other members of the Metachrysalis community.
Thanks to a partnership with the Design School for Regenerating Earth, you'll also be invited into their Metachrysalis Community Space, with a chance to connect with Bioregional Regenerators from around the world.
By early February, eight judges (one for each Metacrisis domain) will help select 32 participants to engage more deeply.
This group will:
Using a sociocratic decision-making process, the group will then select 6–8 participants to each receive $2,500 to support a one-month project—an intentional “move” designed to strengthen our region.
Throughout March, funded participants will receive support as they carry out their projects.
They’ll document:
At the end of the month, funded participants will share presentations reflecting on their work and its impact.
NOTE: Other participants also wanting to do a March-long project will also receive logistical and promotional support.
After March, the community continues.
Connections, collaborations, and mutual support will keep growing—supporting both the people involved and the work they’re doing across the Fraser Lowland. We're hoping to build regional support for this work, including more funds to flow towards additional members of the community.
