On Feb. 16th, Geoship CEO Micha Mikailian joined an inspiring lineup of changemakers at Regenerate LA, a summit co-hosted by RegenWorld and the Future Self Institute, dedicated to forging real, regenerative solutions for our cities. Held in Los Angeles, the event was a dynamic blend of inspiration, innovation, and actionable ideas, bringing together thought leaders, innovators, and community advocates committed to making regeneration the new normal—across housing, food, energy, and beyond.
Geoship’s Vision for Regeneration:
Micha delivered a compelling session on climate-resilient housing, highlighting how Geoship’s bioceramic domes—crafted from 100% raw minerals—can revolutionize sustainable shelter. As climate disasters intensify, the way we build matters more than ever. He explored how regenerative architecture, community-driven solutions, and a decentralized housing model can help reshape the future of resilient, affordable living.
Watch a few video clips below from Micha Mikailian’s session, where he details the innovative Geoship technology that is redefining regenerative housing. Built from 100% raw minerals and engineered to withstand fire, flood, hurricanes, and earthquakes, Geoship’s bioceramic domes not only offer superior insulation but also create a closed-loop materials economy. This breakthrough is setting a new standard for climate-resilient, affordable, and all-natural living solutions.
Alongside Micha, an impressive lineup of speakers shared their expertise on regenerative living, including award-winning entrepreneur Stacey Murphy, visionary Sacha Stone, community advocate Scott Vineberg, and insightful Ryan Tomlinson. Hosted by thought leaders like Peter Oppermann and Brad Nye, the day featured keynote presentations, panel discussions, project pitches, and breakout sessions, all underscoring the power of collaborative regeneration.
Regenerate LA posed a bold question: Why rebuild LA when we can regenerate it? The summit made one thing clear—solutions already exist, and the future is being built today.
At Geoship, we see ourselves as part of a thriving regenerative movement—one that is powered by an ecosystem of inspiring organizations working toward a shared vision of a healthier, more resilient planet. While regenerative housing is a crucial piece of this puzzle, truly bringing this future to life requires collaboration, collective action, and bold solutions across all sectors. That’s why we are committed to uplifting and spotlighting the incredible organizations that share this mission, co-creating real change, and building the momentum needed to make regeneration the new normal. In the wake of the LA fires earlier this year, we want to take a moment to recognize and support some of the remarkable organizations in the Los Angeles area that are leading the way in regenerative solutions. 🌱✨
