Join Imagineer, Storyteller, and Barefoot Economist Inez Aponte in conversation with Della Duncan, a creator and facilitator of our Cultivating Regenerative Livelihoods course, to explore how your livelihood can be in service to the transition to a more regenerative future.
This webinar will help you pause and reconnect with what's important to you. You will get a chance to reflect on how well your needs are currently being met, what it is about our economic system that makes meeting our needs in ethical and sustainable ways so difficult, and how we can cultivate regenerative livelihoods that both meet our needs and are in service of the economic systems change needed for a truly regenerative culture.
Our lifestyles don't have to be at odds with the planet, we can cultivate ways of living and working that can actually be in alignment with our values and benefit the planet!
Some topics that will be explored in this conversation will be:
- A holistic view of needs and an analysis of the strategies we use to meet them
- Guidance for how we can move collectively to more regenerative cultures
- Support on how your livelihood can contribute to regenerative economic systems change
