What is Regeneration?

Regeneration - a process - as a state, aspirational in most cases

It has high levels of diversity - in a way that creates generative tension, rather than collapse.

This diversity creates pluralities that co-evolve rather than singular realities that encapsulate all.

Sourced in Earth Ethics, we all are from the Earth and to create life we must follow its patterns.

In human language to be regenerative means to be explicitly

radical not uniform,
liberatory not oppressive,
feminist not domineering - and
critical not passive.

Regeneration thus requires questioning how we use privilege and power

But. Not. Just. Questioning.
You cannot just think or talk about this

You must act in this process, or you are acting in another - likely extraction.

You must act on the uncomfortable realisations that lie in the potential of our positioning and resources.

To be continued...To be refined...An evolving post with too many people to thank (which I will get to but not today).
