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
active not passive,
diverse not uniform,
intentional not casual,
radical not superficial,
political not dismissive,
liberatory not oppressive,
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,
in the regenerative process.
Or - you are acting in another,
likely in an extractive process.
You must act on the uncomfortable realisations that lie in the potential of our positioning and resources.
