Humanity and the environment are at a crossroads, and it is time to embrace and accelerate regenerative solutions for many of the world’s challenges. From May 29th to 31st, 2026, the Earthstock Regenerative Summit will bring a full-spectrum sovereignty event to the Sane Living Center in Ojai, California.

The core mission of the summit, founded by Michael DiMartino of Alliance for Regenerative Communities, is built upon five vital pillars: Education, Innovation, Conservation, Collaboration, and Regeneration.

The summit is specifically designed to bring together innovators, luminaries, educators, and “solutionaries” to form long-lasting strategic alliances and teach others how to create their own regenerative home and eco-villa.

Ultimately, Earthstock seeks to actualize collaboration over competition, fostering partnerships that will continue to design and build legacy projects and initiatives for the planet.
