IMPACTS
We were selected to participate in the learning journey of The Biofi project . We participated in the Latin/Central America cohort, which also included other groups from Costa Rica. We were able to connect on a deeper level with them while being supported in creating a bioregional framework. The outcome was presented in a meeting with participants, investors, and facilitators in the Regenerative space. It allows resources to flow into the community, supporting weavers and stewards who do vital work to preserve the current regenerative practices of locals, while regenerating what's needed for a Regenerative Osa Society.
