PROGRAM DOMAINS.

3 transdiciplinary domains cover the range of knowledge, skills, and experience essential to realize our potential to thrive across generations. Our connection to our communites, the relationships between communities, our connection to our environments, and our connection to the unknown. All these relationships require understanding and skill-sets so that we can build, maintain and regenerate our communities into the future.

UNIVERSAL CONNECTION Human Regeneration

Unlock our individual and community potentials

Learn from deep history: By tracking key moments in evolution, we can see what it is to be human - our strengths and challenges

Engage with the universe: Seeking a "universe referent citizenship" encourages us to see ourselves as part of a larger whole

Embrace diversity: Hearing different perspectives and ideas is crucial for finding creative solutions

Imagine a better future: By envisioning a thriving future for humanity, we can work towards making it a reality

DEEP NATURE CONNECTION Earth Regeneration

Create innovative solutions for a good Anthropocene

Understand our common roots: By exploring our shared cultural source, we can build on a common foundation

Learn from nature: Practicing core routines like nature connection, tracking, and awareness teaches us valuable lessons for solving problems

Locate ourselves in Ecosystems: Gaining a sense of space and relationships through mapping, navigation and communication

Connect through bioregional diversity: Recognizing earth responsive divergent cultural systems allows for a wider range of ideas and perspectives

PROSOCIAL CONNECTION Community Regeneration

Explore the science of successful prosocial economies

Study evolution and learn from traditional knowledge: Evolutionary science shows us how our ability to cooperate developed within land-based knowledge systems

Understand motivation: Intrinsic motivation and emotional needs models can help us understand what drives people to take prosocial action

Research collaboration and explore how humans learn: Adaptive intelligence models and prosocial processes can teach us how we can adapt and learn to cooperate effectively. Understanding and mastering the power of out-group agression with prosocial methodologies

Beliefs, Narratives, Emotions, Behaviour

In this video Rob Harrison-Plastow speculates on how a belief in separation within the Western world view (with its roots in ancestral trauma) could be driving narratives that lead to emotional responses that in turn drive behaviours of extraction, violence, exploitation and domination.

And that it is this belief and ways of seeing and being that follow from it, that have caused and perpetuate the metacrisis.

Nature Mentoring

The Art of Mentoring in Nature Connection.
What does it mean to be mentored in the ways of nature?
How do people change when they develop deeper awareness of the environment?
How can you be a better mentor for positive personal and societal change?

Prosocial World

The ProSocial Core Processes combine a perspective on and critical and dialogical understanding of both the structures of our world (political, economic, environmental, cultural, spiritual, etc.) and the fluid movement of forces that act to sustain those structures in hegemonic equilibrium.
