About the book

A regenerative current is growing all around us. Stories on the need to reconnect, heal and transform abound, all challenging a dominant worldview built on competition, economic growth, extractivism, militarisation and personal gain. Yes, our planet and its resources are stretched beyond their limits, causing a wide range of suffering and injustice for humanity and non-humans. But within our own lives and places, we’ve all got the potential to bring forward more life-affirming futures.

This book offers an intimate and hands-on exploration of what it means to answer the call of a regenerative current in the field of education, and to co-evolve with it. Grounded in living systems thinking, The Art of Regenerative Educatorship explains the principles and practices of bringing regeneration into educational spaces. It presents a variety of case studies, personal stories and regenerative frameworks that can inform and inspire your own educational artistry towards more life-affirming futures.

  • Engage in exercises to transform your practice
  • Walk along the interwoven inner, communal, and whole-system paths of regeneration
  • Develop four core capabilities to regenerate your practice
  • Co-lead from the core virtues of love, presence, and courage

The Art of Regenerative Educatorship is a resource for those seeking to breathe new life and purpose into their educational practice, in service of their communities, (eco)systems and societies.
