Based on the core belief that we need to heal the world within in order to heal the world around us, we are bringing together regenerative technology, art, music, design, and economics to create a new culture in the capital of this beautiful country here in Portugal.\n\nIn November, we’ll host the inaugural gathering of regenerative startup societies—bringing key local and international leaders together to explore how we can fulfill a single unifying mission:\n\n*Regenerate the earth using the most powerful tools of our time.*\n\n![annual-meeting-portugal-narrow.jpg](https://i.postimg.cc/521w124n/annual-meeting-portugal-narrow.jpg)\n\n## ReFi Annual Meeting — Gathering of Regen CoordiNATIONs\n\nAfter hosting 10 events and reaching over 700 leaders across public, private, and third-sector institutions, we’re taking our next step forward by hosting the ReFi Annual Meeting and inviting local and global leaders of regenerative coordiNATIONS to gather for the first ‘Davos of ReFi’ on Nov 6-7 in a prestigious city center location on the day after ETHLisbon.\n\n[REQUEST AN INVITE](https://tally.so/r/nGKZPe) 💌\n\n---\n\n## Gitcoin GG18 ambitions\n\nWe are aiming to raise $7500 in GG18 to continue to onboard talent and capital into the regenerative economy via web3 rails. This funding will be spread across three key initiatives:\n\n- **Monthly events (x3):** $3000\n- **Community & growth:** $4200\n- **Onboarding stations:** $300\n\n**Total:** $7500\n\n---\n\n![refi-lisboa-july-group.jpeg](https://i.postimg.cc/yNp9FhFb/refi-lisboa-july-group.jpg)\n\n### Recap from Gitcoin Beta\n\nThanks to the $3680 we received from Gitcoin Beta along with support from [Celo](celo.org), [Polygon](https://polygon.technology/) and [DFINITY](https://dfinity.org/), we’ve been able to host 5 events, reaching over 328 leaders across web3, finance and impact. In partnership with [African Data Tech](https://www.africandata.tech/) and [Positive Blockchain](https://positiveblockchain.io/) we seeded [an initial directory app](https://ling478.preview.softr.app/) of the key people and projects of the regenerative society in Lisbon through an integration with [Catalist.network](http://Catalist.network). We also hosted our first [Gitcoin Activation Station](https://www.notion.so/How-to-host-an-activation-station-71c1676071444f7e930deec0672b3812?pvs=21) and created an open source guide as apart of the ReFi DAO Local Node Toolkit!\n\n---\n\n## Our vision\n\nWe aim to balance the power of technology with conscious awareness by establishing a physical network of regenerative leaders and spaces across various sectors and problem areas. We are bringing together public, private, and third-sector institutions, as well as thought leaders in environmental, ecological, social, and cultural domains.\n\nWe see ourselves as an accelerator for the regenerative economy embedded within existing institutions to help them harness the power of regeneration and work towards a prosperous future for all.\n\n![workshop-refi-night](https://i.postimg.cc/9X6d8Bv3/workshop-refi-night.jpg)\n\n## Meet the team\n\n- Emilie Viallon - People Lead & Events\n- John Ellison — Source Steward\n- Laura Malta — Events & Community Lead\n- Susanne Zapelão — Marketing\n- Rica Amaral — Partnerships & Events\n- Emiliano Gutiérrez - Product\n\n## Advisors\n\n- Carolina Carvalho — Ecosystem Mapping\n- Eduardo Marques — Strategy & Partnerships\n- Tariq El Haj Omar — Regenerative Project Development\n- River Roberts — Regenerative Real Estate\n\n## Technology is key\n\nWe believe that technology encompasses not only hardware and software, but also the incredible low-tech solutions that have existed for millennia, such as meditation, yoga, breath work, plants, and various forms of medicine.\n\nJoin us. 🙏🏼\n\n## 2023 OKRs 🗓\n\nFor the next 6 months, we want to achieve the following:\n\n1.
