THE CICADA EMERGENCE EFFECT:
Our Origin Story
At reGEN, we believe storytelling—when fused with media and technology—can transform society.
Like the butterfly effect, where small actions create massive ripples, the cicada symbolizes the profound impact of our work.
As we launch the reGEN StoryHUB, this powerful metaphor guides our vision.
Emergence & Timing
Cicadas emerge in perfectly timed waves—just as transformational stories have their moment to create maximum impact.
- Their synchronized emergence is an unstoppable force, much like coordinated storytelling to shift and lift cultural narratives.
- Their 13–17-year cycles reflect how groundbreaking ideas need time to mature before sparking massive change. PowHERhouse officially launched in 2013, rooted in seeds planted as early as 2000.
- Now, after 25 years of intentional incubation, reGEN emerges—bringing this work forward at precisely the right moment. Like the cicada, we have been building beneath the surface, strengthening our network, and refining our vision. This next phase of growth is our emergence—an unstoppable force ready to shift narratives, catalyze systemic change, and redefine the future of media.
Underground Network
Cicadas build vast underground systems long before they surface—just as reGEN has been quietly cultivating energy, intention, and relationships for 25 years to pioneer the next evolution of media.
- Their hidden root system mirrors our interconnected stories, shaping movements beneath the surface.
- Like nymphs developing underground, transformation happens out of sight before breaking through.
Amplification Effect
When cicadas emerge, their collective sound reaches 100 decibels—a testament to the power of amplified voices.
- Each cicada adds to the chorus—just as every story amplified by reGEN strengthens our collective impact.
- Their synchronized emergence multiplies their effect—mirroring how our curated content playlists will create cultural tipping points.
The stories you lean towards reveal what defines you. They say something about who you are and they shape and reinforce the deeper narrative through which you see the world.
– Jo Mitchell
Legacy Impact with a Generational Lens
Cicadas don’t just emerge—they reshape ecosystems for future generations.
- Their presence enriches the soil for 17 years of future growth.
- Each cycle builds upon the last, compounding impact over time.
The Invitation:
Be Part of The Cicada Emergence Effect
As a first-in reGEN visionary member, partner, or relational investor, you SEE yourself as part of this story.
You are ready to play a leading role among a select group of founding catalysts to initiate The Cicada Emergence Effect—where story and influence impactfully intersect innovation and technology to drive transformation.
During our validation conversation, we’ll explore:
Why now? We are emerging at the perfect moment—when the world needs it most.
A synchronized movement. We are continually forging new partnerships and expanding impact.
Systems-level change. Rooted in Indigenous wisdom, we are building generational transformation.
Future cycles of growth. Through cohorts, courses, and training, we are setting up the next evolution of impact.
An Invitation: The Time is Now
Together,
we can shift screen time from passive to intentional,
transform mindsets,
optimize performance,
and enhance well-being—
more often and at scale.
Let’s create the chorus.
Let’s change the story.
Let’s change our story.
