Whether we like it or not, we are at the end of the world as we know it. The burgeoning impacts of challenges like climate change, rising inequalities, and rapid rise of AI demands shifts to very different ways of knowing, doing and being. In short, we face an existential emergency where we urgently need to re-consider who we are, why we are here, and for what.
Core to transcending our emergency is learning how to attend to our separation paradigm that pervades our societies. This includes many aspects, but especially our chronic human-nature separation that has developed over the last two millennia. The reasons behind this condition are complex. Yet without attending to the human-nature separation challenge it will be difficult to transcend our current predicament.
So how can we begin to seriously address our existential and separation challenge? In our gathering we will explore some of the origins of our human-nature separation and new and emerging opportunities to learn how to relate to others and our world differently. We will then explore what system science can tell us about how to cohere and align those involved and establish collaborative action that supports a deeper shift in consciousness. Many cultures have been doing this for millennia and we don’t have to reinvent wheels. Re-learning about ecocentric ways of being also gives us opportunities to tap into the inherent regenerative power of nature, re-establish wellbeing, and can provide us with much inspiration and hope.
Ioan Fazey is Professor in the Social Dimensions of Environment and Change at the University of York, co-founder of the international transformationscommunity.org and founder of shamanichealing.org.uk. His work focuses on how to support transformations for regenerative and ecocentric futures.
The session will include a one-pot vegan supper and discussion.
