Masters of Regeneration Radio
32 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 13 ratingsMASTERS OF REGENERATION RADIO FEATURES THE STORIES OF THE GLOBAL HEROES OF OUR TIME WHO DARE TO RE-IMAGINE AND CREATE A NEW HUMAN RELATIONSHIP TO THE NATURAL WORLD.
We embrace our responsibility as apex predators on Earth to promote and support biodiversity with our presence and consumption choices.
To accompany people through this profound shift in which humans understand themselves as ecosystems and being part of biological information flows, and genetic memory. To change the narrative on being human on Earth and support the education of conscious consumers, the circular economy, and keeping life healthy on the planet.
How do we achieve this? Not by criticizing existing models that no longer work for the planet and life as a whole, but by creating new models, new relationships with living systems that simply make the existing ones obsolete.
"We are the land. The land is us" is not poetry. It’s biology.
