Since 1999 Jennifer Menke has been focused on bringing humans into harmonious coexistence with nature in keystone ecosystems globally through systems change projects, for- and non-profit organizations, and retreat facilitation.  She is the founder of Regenerative Earth, a 501c3 non-profit organization, co founder of the Regenerative Economy Lab, and retreat facilitator for The Way of Nature.  For over a decade Jennifer has studied and worked closely with John P Milton and indigenous elders from North and Central America and nature itself, which has given her a deep appreciation and understanding of the natural world and traditional cultures that are still intimately connected to their ecosystem.  She continues to learn and integrate this wisdom into her work today in preserving biologically and culturally significant regions globally.

In 2013, during a solitary retreat in the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica, Jennifer received a deep calling to protect this fragile rainforest and marine ecosystem from environmental destruction, to enhance social and economic well-being, and to ensure the indigenous wisdom is not lost.  She has dedicated herself to this calling ever since and sees now that the Osa Peninsula has the potential to be a living example of regenerative systems for other critical ecosystems globally.
