Connection

“Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.” Martin Luther King

Connection is the foundation of Regenerative Cultures. We live in an interdependent web of life; to connect is the most natural, yet often most forgotten, aspect of what it is to be alive. It is essential for us to realise our potential as a species, characterised by our capacity to experience and express kindness, compassion and love in abundance.

Exposure to social, political and environmental injustice can change how we experience and think about the world.
These contradictions can disconnect us from what we before considered normal, our support networks and our previous sources of connection. This can change every aspect of our lives, our perceptions and the way we form and manage relationships. Healing from this trauma takes time. Re-discovering safe ways to reconnect, seeking comfort and solace in our community and developing support networks around us can support us in our journey to healing.

“Relationships are key to understand our role in the universe. And we do not only refer to intimate relationships,
we are embedded in a relational field, to be related is the very nature of existence.” Rumi.

Disconnection, alienation and separation are common experiences in the current system, often leading to interpersonal and interspecies aggression, misunderstanding and suffering. They are the product of and a symptom of a degenerative culture.

The exciting news is that we have the power to transform these experiences as they are wholly unnecessary.

We are all dancing in a web of interdependence - you are never alone!
Whether it’s the air that you’re breathing or the friends you are loving, we are surrounded by constant reminders that we are part of something bigger. The most beautiful experience of reality is when you start to connect to this deep natural truth.

“Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese,
harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.”
