What does it look like to build a decentralized, community-owned network of regenerative properties - designed for geographic, financial, and occupational freedom?
Joshua Haarbrink, founder of Loci, dove into this inquiry in our most recent Project Raising Session - where we come together to support, challenge, and build with pioneers creating a regenerative future. Loci is a for-purpose lifestyle brand connecting capital and community through a distributed real estate portfolio.
The vision: a living system of places where members can live, work, invest, and contribute - on their own terms, across generations.
The conversation went deep. Questions surfaced around indigenous land stewardship, labor dynamics across cultures, the tension between nomadic freedom and depth of place, governance models that scale without re-centralizing, and how you actually build trust infrastructure into a platform this complex.
Joshua held it well. His answer to most of the hard questions? Make stakeholders shareholders. Build the mechanisms that let communities discover their own answers through shared ownership.
This is what Project Raising Sessions are for - not just feedback, but collective thinking that sharpens a project and expands everyone’s perspective in the room.
If you’re building something in the regenerative living space and want this kind of support, the Nexus is where it happens. Join us, bring your project, and let’s raise it together.
