​Pop-Up Island · Founding the Regen District

​📍 Próspera (Roatán) · May 18–31, 2026

​TL;DR

​15 days to found a Regenerative Impact Special Economic Zone in Próspera—design the governance, impact measurement, capital rails, and founding charter, then sign the founding package and set the 2040 roadmap. Application required.

​Application required · Limited seats (55 curated builders)

​For two weeks, Próspera becomes a working studio to design—and begin activating—the world’s first Regenerative Impact Special Economic Zone (RISEZ): a special district where capital, technology, and policy align to make regeneration investable, measurable, and scalable.

​This isn’t a conference—and it’s not a pop-up (just) for good vibes. It’s a founding sprint to build the institutional, financial, and digital infrastructure that can shift markets from extractive to regenerative—through real pilots, real commitments, and verifiable outcomes.

​🌐 What is RISEZ Global?

​RISEZ is a replicable framework for launching Regenerative Impact Special Economic Zones, starting in Próspera:

• ​⚖️ Experimental legal framework (ZEDE + Web3 compatible)

• ​💰 Fiat + crypto value rails

• ​🌱 Free market for regenerative impact

• ​🧠 Digital governance platform

• ​🏗️ Regenerative capital (real estate + startups)

• ​🔗 Interoperability with other SEZs worldwide

​Próspera hosts the first pilot district—designed for global replication.

​

​What you’ll experience

​Pop-Up Island is a professionally facilitated founding sprint led by a dedicated ecosystem designer. The process combines complex systems thinking, token engineering, participatory co-creation, and embodied practices to channel the collective intelligence of 55 diverse participants into institutional-grade outputs.

​You won’t be in the audience. You’ll be in the work.

​The 15 days follow a deliberate arc:

• ​Arrival & Sensing (Days 1–2): Get grounded. Meet the people you’ll be building with. Establish shared language and map what everyone brings to the table.

• ​Honest Diagnosis (Days 3–4): Expert provocations + participatory sense-making. Together we map the landscape: opportunities, constraints, and the coordination gaps this district is designed to close.

• ​Generative Design (Days 5–9): Small teams with clear mandates co-create the foundational pillars: governance, impact accounting, capital infrastructure, bio-regional frameworks, and pilot designs. Daily integration sessions connect the pieces.

• ​Testing & Refinement (Days 10–11): Stress-test everything. Challenge assumptions. Red-team the governance. Refine before you sign.

• ​Commitment & Founding (Days 12–14): Formal agreements. Signed MOUs. Founding ceremony. Walk out as co-founders of something real.

​How it’s facilitated

​The sprint is guided by a process architecture that integrates multiple disciplines:

• ​Systems design & token engineering: Ecosystem value flow mapping, multi-capital accounting frameworks, and governance modeling to ensure what we design is structurally sound.

• ​Participatory co-creation: Liberating Structures, Design Thinking, and formal consensus methods ensure every voice shapes the outputs—not just the loudest ones.

• ​Embodied & relational practices: Sharing circles, authentic relating, meditation, yoga, and breathwork create the depth of connection that turns collaboration into commitment.

• ​Conflict as creative resource: Structured processes for navigating disagreement and building consent, so tensions become breakthroughs rather than blockages.

​The facilitation is designed to hold the full spectrum—from rigorous institutional design to the kind of honest human connection that makes founding moments stick.

​A day at Pop-Up Island

​Each day follows a rhythm designed for deep work without burnout:

​07:00–09:00 Body & Being — Yoga, breathwork, movement, or quiet time. Genuinely optional. Start the day in your body, not your head.

​09:00–09:30 Morning Circle — Check-in. What emerged overnight. What we’re working toward today.

​09:30–13:00 Deep Work Block — The main facilitated sessions: co-creation, design sprints, integration.

​13:00–14:30 Lunch & Connection — Shared meals. Organic conversations. Some of the best ideas happen here.

​14:30–17:30 Afternoon Work Block — Working groups, bilateral meetings, focused design sessions.

​17:30–18:00 Harvest Circle — What emerged today. What needs attention tomorrow.

​Evening Social, cultural, informal programming. Where real trust gets built.

​A mid-sprint rest day is built in for integration, informal connection, and exploring Roatán.

​📌 Note to Participants: The daily schedule is indicative. As the sprint evolves, sessions will be adapted in real time based on where the group’s energy and the work need to go.

​What we aim to build together

​This sprint has two concrete outcomes.

​By Day 14 we aim to found the Regen District and launch the first operational bridge connecting it to the global ecosystem.

​1. Found the Regen District

​The first objective is to co-design and found the Regenerative Special District inside Próspera — a jurisdictional sandbox where capital, governance and technology align to make regeneration investable.

​The founding package should include:

​• Founding Charter — principles, rights and decision rules
• District Governance Design — roles, councils and execution structure
• Impact Accounting Framework — MRV + multi-capital accounting across the 8 capitals (AI + blockchain enabled)
• Bio-Regional Value Framework — connecting ecological yields to investable economic flows
• Regenerative Impact Fund Blueprint — capital vehicle linking investment to verified outcomes
• 2040 Cosmo-Local Roadmap — global expansion strategy for RISEZ and regenerative territories

​By the end of the sprint, the district should have a clear institutional architecture and a founding coalition ready to move forward.

​2. Launch the Regen Twin Desk

​In parallel, we will design and activate the Regen Twin Desk.

​The Twin Desk is the operational gateway between the Regen District and the outside world.

​It allows startups, builders and territorial projects to:

​• register a twin company connected to the Regen District
• access Próspera’s legal and financial infrastructure
• operate simultaneously in their local jurisdiction and the district
• connect with global capital, partners and markets

​In simple terms:

​The Regen District defines the rules.
The Twin Desk makes them usable.

​Together, these two outputs create the minimum viable infrastructure for a Regenerative Impact Special Economic Zone (RISEZ).

​Who should join

• ​Investors, Funds & Family Offices → curated dealflow + early access to regenerative district economics

• ​Startup Founders & Real Estate Developers → real pilots + direct access to capital and policy pathways

• ​Web3/ReFi & AI Builders → deploy governance, MRV, and multi-capital accounting in a live jurisdiction

• ​Policy & SEZ Architects → frontier lab for next-generation institutional design

• ​Regenerative Practitioners & Land Stewards → permaculturists, bio-regional designers, and territorial stewards who bring living knowledge of how ecosystems produce value—the ground truth our economic models must serve

• ​Indigenous & Community Leaders → custodians of ancestral land relationships and place-based governance wisdom—the voices that ensure this infrastructure serves life, not just markets

​How to join

​Application required. We curate for complementary expertise, not just interest. Apply and we’ll review your fit within one week.

• ​Indigenous Founding Steward (10 seats | $10k–$20k)

  • ​Full 15-day program with lodging. Join the initial Operating Council that stewards the district post-event. Higher initial allocation of ecosystem participation tokens, reflecting your financial commitment and operational involvement beyond the sprint.

• ​Indigenous Founding Builder ($3k)

  • ​Full 15-day program with lodging. Contribute your expertise to a workstream and co-create the founding outputs. Earn ecosystem participation tokens through verified contributions during the sprint.

• ​Indigenous Founding Ally (Scholarship — partial or full)

  • ​For regenerative practitioners, indigenous and community leaders, land stewards, and other strategically essential voices. Same program, same contribution potential, same token earning rights. Your presence is the investment.

​Ecosystem ownership: Every participant—regardless of tier—may receive governance and/or value tokens representing their founding contribution. Stewards contribute through capital and operational commitment; Builders and Allies contribute through expertise and labor. The tokenomic design that defines how value and governance are distributed is part of the work we’ll create together during the sprint.

​Request to join.
