A living index of regenerative knowledge

The Explorer gathers the living knowledge of the SEEDS ecosystem into one browsable place: the agreements that shape its governance, the templates communities use to organize, the tools that move value through the commons, and the practices that keep it all humane.

Not every page here carries the same weight, and not every page describes the present. Each entry wears two markers: a governance badge saying who can change it, and an era tag saying whether it describes what SEEDS does now, what it did before 2021, or what has only been proposed. Read both before you read the entry.

How to read the badges

Citizen Governed

Changes require a referendum passed by the citizen body — the strongest guarantee in the index.

Badge Governed

Editable only by stewards holding an appointed editor badge; stable, but faster to update.

Open Library

Community-contributed material anyone may add to; reviewed lightly, curated over time.

Unofficial Guide

An individual's perspective or walkthrough — useful, honest, and speaking only for its author.

And how to read the era tags

Current

Describes something that is running, in force, or in use today.

Archive

Describes SEEDS as it was designed and run before the 2021 collapse. Real, and no longer active in that form.

Proposal

Circulated for discussion inside the ecosystem. Intent, not commitment — and several of these may never happen.

Section 01

Foundations

The core agreements and reference texts every participant eventually leans on.

Section 02

Ecosystem Map

Who is out there: the alliance network as it was, the sites that survived, and the organisations the current building is connecting with.

Section 03

Regenerative Action Templates

Ready-to-adapt blueprints for starting projects that leave a place better than they found it.

Section 04

Organizing Tools — DAOs & DHOs

Patterns and templates for running decentralized organizations that stay accountable to their people.

Section 05

Economic Tools

How value is created, pooled, and exchanged inside a regenerative economy.

Section 06

Cultural Practices

The social soil: rituals, repair processes, and welcomes that hold communities together.

Section 07

Commons Organizations

The organizations named in the ecosystem's own records — with an honest marker on how confident this index is about each one's current involvement.

Name Focus Status

Active — currently involved in the ecosystem, including collaborations still under discussion. Reduced — was central to SEEDS and its role has diminished considerably since 2021. Unverified — named in ecosystem documents, but this index has not confirmed its current involvement, and says so rather than guessing.
