The Enlivened Cooperative is a growing collective of diverse and highly experienced learning practitioners, researchers and community organizers who have been actively engaged in the field as teachers, professors, researchers, activists, leaders, artists, filmmakers, programers, and learners. We have been re-imagining learning, education, research and leadership over many decades in schools, universities, indigenous communities and marginalized communities working at local, regional, and planetary levels. We come from, and dwell in places from around the world immersed in experiments in community activism, cross-cultural and eco-social learning, and the open source movement.

The Enlivened Cooperative has emerged partially out of the ongoing work of the Ecoversities Alliance, which has been active since 2015 and which came to fruition as a strategic response to the inability of current higher education models to adequately respond to our planetary crises.

Embodied Journeys for Regenerative Leadership

We host regenerative learning journeys that support participants in navigating the intersections of diverse knowledge systems while reframing dominant narratives, cultivating pluriversal sense-making abilities and the relational skills needed to co-create just and regenerative futures.

Our journeys are crafted with care, transforming time into a shared process of unlearning and becoming. They uniquely blend cosmopolitical perspectives with embodied, place-based experiences, rooted in deep listening and sensory encounters.

Each journey is unique, guided by a diverse faculty of facilitators, expert practitioners, local leaders, and wisdom keepers and is anchored by a central guiding metaphor or question. This invites a relational process where participants release assumptions, embrace new perspectives, and cultivate deeper connections with self, land, community, and living ecosystems.
