Regeneration Book Club
We are exploring regeneration in all its forms - nature, economics, and business.
Upcoming Sessions
Hospicing Modernity by Vanessa Machado De Oliveira
Thursday, April 2
9:30am PST / 12:30pm ET / 6:30pm CET
Starting in April, we're centering our reading selections around a question that keeps leading us forward: How might regenerative principles shape and support how we relate to ourselves and the systems we inhabit? To kick us off, we will read a book that invites us to think at a high level, questioning the systems we inhabit and reimagining where we might go next. You can find the book here.
Coming Next
In Praise of the Earth: A Journey Into the Garden by Byung-Chul Han, translated by Daniel Steuer.
Thursday, May 21
9:30am PST / 12:30pm ET / 6:30pm CET
Join us for a special guest-facilitated session with Will Rosenzweig (Gardener, Coach to many, Professional Faculty at Haas, Founder of Ideagarden, Founder of Republic of Tea, and more) as we explore In Praise of the Earth: A Journey Into the Garden by Byung-Chul Han, translated by Daniel Steuer.
About the Club
We live in a time of polycrisis where climate disruption, ecological degradation, and social inequities intersect, challenging the very foundations of our food systems, economies, and communities.
Amidst these challenges, regenerative approaches offer pathways to transformational change. Rooted in centuries of Indigenous and traditional knowledge, these practices emphasize reciprocity, interconnectedness, and harmony with nature. They remind us that regeneration is not a novel concept but a return to time-honored ways of living that prioritize the health of the land, communities, and future generations.
We started the Regeneration Book Club to create an intentional space to explore regeneration in all its forms–nature, economics, business, agriculture, leadership, health, and more. This is an invitation to a journey into the wisdom of those who are inspired by the rhythms of nature and present opportunities to navigate the complexity of today differently. By exploring works grounded in regenerative systems, Indigenous knowledge, and agroecological practices, we aim to honor and learn from the knowledge systems that have sustained communities and ecosystems for generations.
This is a space for connection, reflection, and learning. We will offer facilitation questions and discussion space, and remain open to changes in structure and content. This is a flexible, come-as-you-are space–join whenever it works for you. You are not required to read the entire content list before joining a session. For each session, we will offer at least two formats of content to explore regeneration in a new context. We will invite you to read, listen to, or watch before joining our conversation.
What to Expect?
You can expect a group of 8–15 people from diverse backgrounds, currently spanning the US and EU, coming together to share insights, questions, and inspiration. The group shifts slightly depending on the theme and date. Together, we’ll reflect on how regenerative approaches have the potential to show up in our lives, work, and the world around us.
We meet every ~6 weeks on Zoom on Thursday or Friday for 45 minutes.
