Bio
"Michael Davyd is digital media producer and filmmaker. After attending a Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner School in Sydney, he began professional life with backstage theatre work - soon specialising in lighting design and director's assistant.
After several years working in various theatres, he also worked in television production. Later, he pivoted into stills photography running his own commercial studio whilst being a regular contributor for Nature & Health and Simply Living magazines and many other clients. Michael created many audio-visual shows, and importantly, toured them as a precursor to his later documentary work.
Over the past 4 decades Michael has successfully produced numerous creative projects, e.g. corporate videos, innovative multimedia CD-ROMs, websites and multimedia theatre. His passion is documentary projects - producing, directing and editing. His releases include 'Crystal Waters – 30 Years On' about the world's first permaculture ecovillage and his favorite project ever 'Peace Angels - first steps' about a spiritually based theatre troupe who staged a huge event for Peace Week 2011.
Michael also produced, shot and co-edited 'Baba's Birthday' about Avatar Meher Baba. His current project is 'Beyond Being Human - open source awakening' - exploring our multidimensional nature and nurturing our divine spark."

Masterminding EDEN – Designing a Regenerative Future
In our rapidly evolving world, the challenges of climate change, social fragmentation, and resource depletion demand bold, innovative solutions. Masterminding EDEN is our answer—a pioneering initiative to design, simulate, gamify and build the first regenerative, self-sustaining village. Think of it as a modern-day "ark," a living, adaptable community model that not only protects its inhabitants from environmental disasters but also actively restores and regenerates our planet. With what is on the horizon we are going to need a network of such places around the world. And we can utilize what we learn to inform and retrofit existing cities, towns and communities.
This summer, 300 experts will gather in Switzerland for a month-long, hands-on, collective intelligence initiative to develop a practical, scalable blueprint for human habitation in the face of global crises.
This isn’t just talk—it’s action. We’re bringing together some
of the brightest minds from across disciplines to collaboratively
design the future of civilization.

How It Works
The funds raised in this campaign will directly support the realization of Masterminding EDEN by sponsoring the attendance of this campaigns organizer or their stated beneficiary. Funds will cover the costs of our intensive, month-long mastermind event in Summer 2026—a collaborative lab where brilliant minds from across disciplines will come together to map out the future of sustainable urban design. This is not just about creating a physical structure; it’s about developing a transformative model for regenerative cities that can be implemented globally.
Campaigns have a fixed goal and take "pledge payments". If the campaign collects enough pledges to reach or exceed the goal, your pledge will be converted to a contribution and the funds will be transferred to Masterminding EDEN to pay for the campaign beneficiary to attend. If the goal is not reached or the event is cancelled for any reason, your pledge will be cancelled i.e. no funds are collected and the obligation to pay is removed.
