A Regenerative Life

Hey, I am Jonas, and for the past 10 years, I have lived the question of "how to live a meaningful and joyful life?"

Talking to (especially young) people, I see a lot of meaninglessness and hopelessness in the world.

But it doesn't have to be that way.

We can find meaning in restoring what we have degraded.

We can turn climate anxiety into joyful action towards a new system.

I seek to inspire and educate you to live a meaningful and joyful life in changing times by writing about becoming a changemaker, philosophy & personal development for systems change.

Next to writing, I am building a 20 ha regenerative village in the mountains of Galicia and work at the Bioregional Weaving Labs collective, supporting place-based system change and landscape regeneration.

Join me on this journey of living a more meaningful and joyful life!
