Synthesis:
Some of the most prominent themes that emerge from this limited review of the inner dimensions of regeneration include:
– living systems, eco-literacy, diversity, and bioregionalism;
– human-nature connectedness and interdependency;
– human, more-than-human, and planetary health and well-being;
– relationships to self, others, and nature characterized by care, compassion, reciprocity, and collaboration vs. competition;
– commitment to participatory democracy, social and environmental justice, community engagement;
– a holistic approach to decision-making that takes into account longer time frames;
– an ongoing commitment to learning and experimentation.
