Our current systems reliably and consistently produce ecological degradation and deep concentrations of wealth, leaving most of us scrambling to earn a living and therefore ineffective as agents of change.  

How might we invert both of these problems?  How do we drive wealth to the middle, end poverty and restore our biosphere through new systems?

Might our greatest hope lie in exactly those biggest winners of the status quo?  Might they be encouraged to embrace a healthy "crisis of conscience" and put wealth, expertise and follow through behind the invention of a practical and implemented regenerative economics? 

Our discussion today starts with a premise that the regenerative development movement needs some leaders with significant influence and/or funds.  We need newcomers who are willing to step outside the current framing of our economy and perhaps even out of the systems that made them successful, to help generate an opening for regenerative development. This may be in terms of funding the wellbeing of our field rather than the killer apps, opening political discourse or governance that is fundamentally changed, or in directly creating new structures or processes that shift global interest and commitment toward regenerative outcomes. 

We call them mutineers, not merely because they are open to leaving behind the current systems, but because they are receptive to donning the mantle of regenerative leadership.

What conditions are needed to promote such action, where and how should we as individuals and regenerative organizations support these changes, who may already be a mutineer and who might be good candidates for the future?

We are not here only to discuss these things.  Discussion is the key catalyst, not the outcome sought.  Please come to this session ready to offer your own questions, perspectives and a willingness to do things together moving forward.
