Soil Health, Human Health & Planetary Well-Being: Pathways for Regenerative Economies

Being a part of the Presencing Institute community since it's very beginning, and have used TheoryU in the design of many gatherings that I have hosted and facilitated. I joined the

first of five global gatherings yesterday. They hosted a 90-minute session with over 700 participants weaving together stories, music, breakout conversations, and collective reflection to explore the living connections between regenerative agriculture, human health, and new economic possibilities.

I'm sharing a few of the images and phrases that stuck with me:

Planting new seeds for new ways

From extraction to regeneration

Agriculture is culture

Native bees are almost extinct

Fall in love with the problem

Both special guests were touched by a calling and curiosity to do something different with their lives. Despite their fear they allowed themselves to feel into it, to take risks because they had a strong belief in the importance of their ideas, and the impact they could have on people and the planet. They decided to experiment with what they were curious about and each took small steps with purpose, being brave enough to take the next step without having the answers.

Christa was activated by soil, farming and community. Zuzanna by creating caring farmer communities.

Christa went on to say that she surrendered to the process.

Special Guests: Christa Barfield, Zuzanna Zielińska

Co-Hosts: Antoinette Klatzky, Otto Scharmer

Generative Scribing: Kelvy Bird

Music: Antonio Moya-Latorre

If you were on the call, it would be very interesting to hear what resonated with you and learn together.

I have registered for most of the calls and will continue to share here if there is interest. Please do leave your feedback in the comments.

I made a donation in order to support their work.
