Refugia – Stories of Nature Thriving Through Collapse
Hosted by: Mundo Común, Climate Breakthrough, Innovate 4 Nature & Superorganism
Session Hosts: Isabel Cavelier Adarve, Jessica Galeria, Dr. Philipp Staudacher, and Kevin Webb
Session Overview
In a world where systems, ideologies, and ecologies are collapsing, where do we find hope?
Light shines through the cracks of collapse—life persists, adapts, and regenerates. This session is an invitation to witness how nature—both human and beyond—heals, rebuilds, and thrives even in the face of destruction.
Through film, real stories, and reflective conversation, we will explore a global movement of care and interdependence that is quietly taking root. While dominant narratives center on crisis, this session offers a window into an alternate reality—one where restoration, resilience, and beauty quietly shape the future.

Why This Matters
Not all transformations make the news. As systems break down, new ones are forming—rooted in awareness, reciprocity, and care. This session is an opportunity to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the quiet power of restoration at work.
