My Personal Regenaissance
A Journey of Transformation and the Art of Living Fully
A Life of Many Chapters, One Grand Narrative
To tell my story, I must first invite you to join me on a journey that transcends place, time, and circumstance. This is not merely the tale of a refugee of war or a digital nomad. It is a narrative of transformation, not dictated by life’s external forces, but by an internal drive to live life as an architect of change - a pioneer of transformation. I am not a prisoner of my past but a creator of my future. I see the world as my home, and I invite you to do the same.
“Freedom is not a place; it is the understanding that the whole world is your home.”
My journey began before the turn of the millennium. I hitched rides on sailboats and explored the world with wide eyes and an open heart. I navigated seas and coastlines and discovered that home could be anywhere I was present and connected. I understood that every human, every animal, and every community is a link in a shared ecosystem. This perspective shaped my approach to life, work, and community.
The Formula for Success (But Not for Everyone)
Success is a subjective term. For me, it has never been about wealth or status but about living in a state of continuous Love, Learning, contribution, and creation (Legacy) - 3L’s. I do not claim to offer a universal “formula for success.” Each of us has our own path, and as the saying goes, “God has other plans for us anyway.” But I will share with you my perspective - a roadmap, if you will, for living a meaningful, fulfilled, and impactful life.
Here is my formula for success:
- Live in the Now, Dream of the Future: Time is relative. Move fast, but be present.
- Lead with Purpose, Not with Ego: Leadership means shaping systems, not controlling people.
- Create Communities, Not Isolation: The journey is always more joyful - and impactful - when shared.
- Learn from Failure, Reimagine It as Growth: Mistakes aren’t dead ends; they are turns in the path.
- Tell Stories that Change Belief Systems: Facts don’t change the world - stories do.
2020: The Turning Point — Cocoon to Butterfly
For many, 2020 was a time of lockdowns, isolation, and fear. For me, it was a time of emergence. It was during this period that I witnessed humanity cocooning like caterpillars, only to later re-emerge as butterflies. This inspired me to refine my own process of transformation - not only for myself but for the communities I engaged with worldwide.
Challenge 18 and Ting.Global
During the COVID-19 pandemic, as part of Ting.Global, a regenerative, AI-enhanced learning ecosystem, I launched Challenge 18 via WhatsApp and reached the hearts and minds of many.
3 Years at Arsuf Kedem Community, Israel
During this time, I lived by the sea, in a trailer surrounded by the magic of nature. This was where I connected with my creative force. The sea became my muse, and in those three years, I published 5 books in Hebrew and also created the game: “Share on Magic,” and I co-produced and published together with my friend Dovid Levi a song named “Smile of a Whale.”
3 Months at Liminal Village, Italy
In Italy, I captured the spirit of “La Dolce Vita” and turned it into action. While others marveled at the views of Tuscany, I filmed over 100 short videos of my experience in the Intentional community of Liminal Village, sharing reflections and insights on leadership, community, and transformation.
The journey didn’t stop there. I embarked on a caravan road trip to Sicily, where, alongside friends from Liminal and Refi Sicily, we planted 500 Moringa trees - a living testament to regeneration and community-driven impact.
3 Months in Costa Rica
In Costa Rica, rhythm and music filled my soul. I attended Bliss Burn, an event that introduced me to the Latin American community. The experience left me with new opportunities, deep connections, and a profound appreciation for the power of ritual-based transformation.
This vibrant land became a catalyst for musical creation. I co-produced and published two songs with lovely magical creatures:
🎶 “Happy Hippo” performed by Performed by Rhapsody & Brian ~ @HighersElves and Shaimaa @loveheals.
🎶 “I Rise in Love” performed by James Wolf ‘Bamboo Master’.
I created two powerful documentaries capturing the essence of local communities and friends.
Diamante Luz shines as a beacon of integrated living, where residents, neighbors, and visitors co-create a harmonious space that honors nature and collective well-being.
Ecomaste stands as a tranquil jungle oasis - an eco-lodge, learning, and healing center dedicated to living in alignment with nature, self, and community. Its founders lead with purpose, inspiring others to embark on a path of regenerative living, personal growth, and environmental stewardship.
2 Months in Crabfish Village & Vitalia, Roatan, Honduras
Here, I created 2 documentaries: “Roots & Wings: The Story of Crawfish Rock Community” & “Tales From The Sea - Pirates, Treasures, Sharks” and an intro to the evolution of consciousness. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Roatan, I felt the call to explore the deeper layers of human awareness and our shared evolutionary path.
2 Months in Bocas Del Toro, Panama
While in Selina Red Frog, Panama, I wrote:
📚 “Garden of Wisdom: Timeless Teachings in an AI Era”
This book, soon to be published by Springer, explores the intersection of AI and timeless wisdom. It invites readers to reflect on how we can anchor ourselves in ethical and moral principles amid the technological whirlwind of our era.
During my time in Panama, I also engaged with HPEC DAO, part of the HyperCycle ecosystem. This decentralized community-driven platform enables energy-efficient, high-performance blockchain solutions for the future. It empowers participants through collective decision-making, creating transparency and inclusivity. Definitely contact me for more details.
3 Months in Portugal
Portugal became a vital part of my regenerative journey. I attended the Gathering of Tribes, a convergence of indigenous wisdom keepers, artists, and change-makers. This event introduced me to local communities in Portugal and around the world. The experience culminated in a pilgrimage journey on the Camino de Santiago, a profound walk through ancient paths that brought clarity, introspection, and purpose. It was a spiritual homecoming - a reflection of all the journeys I had ever taken. You can read more about this walk here.
2 Months in Dublin, Ireland
This is NOW. As the year draws to a close, I reflect on the greatest gift I could have given myself and those I love - a book. Co-authored with Daniel Mihai, this book is more than just words on paper; it is a manifesto for regeneration and a call to action for all who seek to heal themselves, their communities, and the planet.
📚 “Regenaissance: The Call to Heal” introduces the Regenerative Ecosystem to the world and offers tangible, actionable solutions to inspire us all. It’s not just a book - it’s an invitation to co-create a world rooted in balance, abundance, and harmony.
This is the gift I leave behind as we enter a new year - a blueprint for transformation and a call for us all to rise together.
And if you think that’s where I stop, think again. The book is a living reflection of the projects I am actively co-creating - a testament to the seeds we are planting together in the Garden of Wisdom. Each initiative, each collaboration, and each story is a growing branch of this ever-evolving regenerative ecosystem.
I am currently co-founding startups and planting seeds of transformation through a series of ongoing initiatives that are actively taking shape and growing in real time. These projects aren’t just ideas - they are living systems of regeneration, each one contributing to the whole. Every project is a root, a branch, or a bloom in this shared Garden of Wisdom, and together, we are cultivating a future where innovation, community, and nature thrive as one.
Key initiatives include:
- SOIL & SEED: A consultancy supporting regenerative development.
- IEF.wiki: An open-source knowledge hub for tracking social and ecological impact.
- MRV.Market: A transparency platform for regenerative projects.
- FoodBank.Family: Community-driven food resilience programs.
- LCE (LivingCities.Earth): An initiative to design future cities as living ecosystems.
These initiatives are the seeds being planted for a regenerative future, offering an alternative to traditional development models. Imagine thriving food forests, biodiverse habitats, and self-sustaining communities. These projects aren’t ideas - they are realities being co-created in real time.
Where Am I Heading Next?
If you’re reading this, you already know that I’m not one to sit still for long. My journey has no final destination because the “journey” itself is the destination. Every community I enter, every person I meet, and every collaboration I engage in becomes a seed planted in the fertile soil of global consciousness.
But there is no journey without others. I invite you to be part of this journey.
🌍 Invite Me to Visit Your Community
I am always on the move, always seeking to engage with communities that seek transformation. If your community desires a renaissance of thought, creation, and collaboration, invite me to visit.
📢 Invite Me to Give a Talk or Workshop
I have given workshops, lectures, and storytelling sessions across the globe. My workshops range from playful gamification experiences to deep, transformational journeys. The themes I cover include:
- Innovation & Leadership
- Community & Collaboration
- Storytelling & The Hero’s Journey
- Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Creative Thinking Through Play
A Final Message of Love
To all the change agents, pioneers of transformation, cocoons, butterflies, solar punks, pink punks, anarchists, liberal libertarians, magical creatures and to all of the beautiful children of Pachamama I’ve met along the way - this is for you.
Keep being who you are.
You are the seeds of change, the light in the storm, and the breath of fresh air in a world that often forgets to breathe. Your courage to dream, create, and transform is the heartbeat of the future. Know that every small action you take is part of something much larger than yourself. Together, we are weaving a new reality.
Be the change you wish to see in the world.
Each one of you is a spark of possibility, and your light shines brighter than you know. I see you. I honor you. I love you. You are my family, my tribe, my mirror. Every encounter, every co-creation, and every shared story is a thread in this great web of transformation.
Keep planting seeds. Keep growing. Keep flying.
This is more than just my story. This is a call for you to reframe your journey as well. Life is not a linear path, and success is not a final destination. Success, as I see it, is a continuous creation of Love, Learning & Legacy (3L’s).
Through all my adventures, I have learned that life is what we create of it. We are not prisoners of circumstance. We are the pioneers of our fate.
Will you answer the call?
With endless love and gratitude,
Sharon
