Call-to-Action
At reNourish Studio and in collaboration with communities that we work with such as The Regenesis Institute for Regenerative Practice, we are working on these questions. I am curious to work on these with new collaborators aboard the Earth One ship. In order for businesses to evolve from being extractive to engaging in a process of regeneration, we need to not only evolve the way we think and our business strategies, but we also need to evolve key infrastructure so that it enables the process of regeneration. Additionally, it is critical that each unique place on the planet engages in a process of place-sourced essence expression in order to evolve its potential. I think that storytelling and the stories that we are telling all over the planet are going to be very important to generate interest for businesses and communities to engage in a process of regeneration. Storytelling will be key in the transition from seeing the world as a machine to engaging with it as a living process, and unleashing the unique creativity of whole communities and all the individuals who live there instead of simply a few visionary leaders. Finally, I'm unclear about whether the questions I'm working on and contributions I have are meant for Biocultures, New Economies, or all of the disciplines. Our work is holistic in nature and I see the intersection of all the topics on the ship as critical to each other.
