Living Regeneratively
Living regeneratively is about living in right relationship to the dynamically evolving nested wholeness of life as a planetary process. It is about aiming to participate appropriately in this complexity in humble awareness of the limits of our knowing and with acceptance of uncertainty. Living regeneratively is about finding our own uniqueness — the essential contribution we can make — and expressing it in service to our communities and life’s ongoing evolutionary journey.
We are called into humility and audacity at the same time.
We might not be able to predict and control the future but we are all co-creating it — every moment, every day. So living regeneratively is also about being conscious of how all our thoughts, words and actions have creative agency in what will emerge from the nested complexity we participate in and are expressions of.
By understanding our own individual and collective agency in and as life as a planetary process — by accepting our fundamental dependence on the health of ecosystems and planetary health — we come to understand that nurturing the health, resilience and capacity to respond creatively to change of our communities and the wider community of life is in all our enlightened self-interest.
As Gerald Midgely, professor for systems science at the University of Hull, pointed out so succinctly “everything is an intervention.” We cannot but change the world, each and every one of us.
Education for regenerative cultures is about the life-long process of enabling and building the capacity of everyone to express their unique potential to serve their community and the planet and in the process serve themselves.
