GENNA stands for the North American Region of the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN). We focus on meeting the needs of community projects within “Turtle Island,” the name given to North America in the creation stories of some indigenous peoples. The image of a turtle in our logo is meant to honor the rich cultural heritage and ecology of Turtle Island, as we work to grow community networks towards a more beautiful, just, and regenerative world.
GEN North America has created the Regenerative Communities Alliance (REGEN ALLIANCE) – an emerging collaborative platform for organizations and individuals serving the regenerative communities network within North America and beyond. The Alliance is not an organization; instead it is a participatory commons and an emergent field of collaborative potential. We steward a collaborative space with others who are actively designing ways to better serve and make visible those doing community building work on the ground.
The following organizations were partners in initiating the Alliance: Foundation for Intentional Community, VillageLab, NuMundo, NextGENNA, GEN-US and Ecovillages-Canada.
How to engage: We welcome the support of all individuals and organizations in North America that share our values of cooperation, stewardship, and social justice. Individuals may join us as volunteers to develop their skills in project and administrative support. Organizations can apply for membership in the Alliance and be added to our invitation list, from which we will onboard qualified members. We appreciate donations and investments from all who recognize the importance of our work.
A residential project: people live here as their primary home.
An institution, business, network, or project that isn’t a residence (e.g. a learning center, farm, or network with no one living there full-time).
