Who
WILL SHOW UP?

Our
AMAZING HUMANS
Masterminding EDEN unites experts, innovators, and visionaries to design a framework for building self-sustaining, regenerative cities. Through focus groups, specialists guide critical aspects of the framework, ensuring it can be applied to create thriving, resilient communities.
In addition to their focus group work, each participant will also be part of a multidisciplinary group consisting of one member from each focus group. This structure fosters collective intelligence, enabling rapid iteration and holistic problem-solving by integrating diverse perspectives and expertise.
This page highlights each focus group, why their contributions matter, and the types of specialists involved, showcasing the collective brilliance driving this initiative forward. You will also see some of our current contributors and supporters.
-
How will participants collaborate during the event?Each participant will be part of both a Focus Group (based on expertise) and a Multidisciplinary Group (combining diverse perspectives). These groups will meet online before the event to prepare and will continue in-person at the event to contribute to the overall framework.
-
What outputs will the event produce?The event will produce a written framework, simulations, and potentially a game to guide the development of regenerative, self-sustaining habitations within bioregions. These outputs are collectively owned by the co-op formed of participants during the event and will be distributed as creative commons copy left.
-
What type of accommodations are available?Participants can choose from new on-site Pod suites, camping, dorms, RV's or glamping options. Accommodations will be charged separately from event ticket depending on your preference.
-
Can I stay off-site?The short answer is yes you can stay offsite. That could be your own home, a hotel, an AirBnB, whatever works for you. We are working on partnering with local hotels and will have details before tickets are available. But, we encourage you to consider staying onsite, even if it is moderately rustic. There is something magical that happens when people live and work and play together. It forms a deeper community bond and experience. The potential for synergy increases. We will have security at the entrance and you will be required to show your Masterminding EDEN passport for admission every time you come onsite. These are individually validated via blockchain and are non-transferable. Is the ticket price reduced for those who stay offsite? The event ticket itself remains the same, accommodation is booked separately.
-
Will meals be provided?Yes, three meals a day, snacks, and weekly banquets will be provided, featuring delicious and sustainable cuisine.
-
Can I bring my family?Yes, families with children are welcome! Childcare options and a children’s council are in development to ensure an enriching experience for all ages.
-
Will I have time to stay connected to work or personal commitments?Yes, the daily schedule includes time for participants to keep up with personal or professional responsibilities.
-
How will the collaboration be supported?Information from group work will be summarized, analyzed, and enhanced using AI tools to increase efficiency and ensure key insights are captured. Advanced design and simulation tools will also be used to bring ideas to life.
-
What types of professionals are attending?Attendees include architects, space colony designers, indigenous wisdom keepers, regenerative economists, crypto developers, climate scientists, vertical farming experts, and more. For a full list please visit the WHO page.
