Regeneration Roundtable in Italy

Mar’s Musing on Italy

I’ve had so many questions about my time in Italy at Davines Village for the Regenerative Hospitality and Wellbeing round table… so I decided to dedicate this Mar’s Musings to sharing my insights and learnings.

My first real business/work trip in 3 years since the birth of my son!

It was such an honour to facilitate the event and open up the space of creativity, exploration and play for the emergence of new ideas.

The first main take away from Aldina, head of Wellbeing at Accor group was that it’s all about self-care and that regeneration starts from yourself, we cannot regenerate the world without regeneration ourselves.

A key takeaway for me, as I have seen this with the work around money, is that it’s so much about our own value as to how much money we attract into our lives.

Another is that sustainability is not enough, it’s about moving towards regeneration!

Take action, it’s not about perfection but making a move.

4 P’s - People, Products, Purpose and Profits … adding the 4th “P” - products to make regenerative products!

Such inspiring stories were shared throughout the day, such as one of planting vineyards to make the sparkling wine in collaboration with a local wine producer. 

I’ve been working on the fringe for years, doing the work on the ground and now being in contact with people who have created these inspiring businesses that are in the name of Regeneration and putting resources in action - this gave me a whole new perspective and drive!

How money can be used in such inspiring ways such as this new 9000 sqm project in the centre of Parma that Davide Bollati chairman of Davines & Comfort Zone is creating. A whole new hospitality project weaving in the local community and bringing opportunities to young people. 

I hope you can feel my inspiration! 

If this touches you, and regeneration is a topic for you… send me your ideas - always open to learning more!

Much love Mar Michelle x
