Land and Leadership Initiative Retreat
Land and Leadership Initiative Retreat
Retreat that takes a holistic approach to regenerative development focusing on "time to think together, and to find how best to communicate what we know."
This event will be of interest to people who are in or entering the regeneration space and in taking a social and learning approach that is itself holistic and reflecting of such practices.
From the website: "This deep dive will be designed and led by Didi Pershouse, Founder at the Land and Leadership Initiative, with occasional presentations by various participants of the retreat.
Here are some of the kinds of questions we will look at:
- What examples do we know of that can best communicate the potential of regeneration?
- How do we engage people's own physical senses to understand concepts of the living climate?
- How do we use language and observation in ways that bridge political divides?
- How does the way we communicate evoke images and feelings in the reader/listener?
- What is the role of "the expert" or models, versus lived experiences?
- How do we communicate what's needed now to keep our systems operational? How do we make sure we can keep the basic needs of ourselves and our society met, keep foundational ecosystem processes going, and provide food, water, and shelter from the storm to our communities?
- How do we coordinate our communication efforts to build on each other's work?
- How do we awaken a sense of caring, responsibility and response-ability between neighbors (of all species)?
- What is of great value in this time, that is being ignored?
- How do seemingly impossible situations create entirely new possibilities?
- How do we bring out the uniqueness and ongoing potential in each place, to become more of a fertile womb, rather than a silent tomb?"
