We will explore how to dissolve and integrate human traumas as we come back into right relationships with living systems in our new series that begins on Tuesday. It is called "Earth Regeneration in Practice" and is hosted by Joe Brewer in the Design School for Regenerating Earth.

Yet the cultural pathology that treats humans as both superior and separate is contributing to the destruction of Earth's ability to regulate and maintain systemic health at local, bioregional, continental, and planetary scales.

At the core of our work to help regenerate the Earth is a deep recognition that humans are completely interwoven in the emergent evolution of the Universe. We are not separate. We are not superior.

“We need to prepare children for the future that is coming. And in these unprecedented times of planetary change this means doing things like safeguarding biodiversity, bringing dead rivers back to life, and planting native forests that have been cut down.” — @joebrewer.bsky.social

A podcast recording I created in May 2018 about how evolutionary science can help us understand the pathologies of civilization. This is foundational for knowing how to design for a regenerative future as we navigate the rest of planetary collapse.

In May of 2018, I recorded this podcast episode to explain why cultural evolution is the ESSENTIAL missing piece for nearly all social change efforts on Earth.

Listening to it again now, I still completely agree.
