Today, Unearthodox launches the Anthology of Regenerative Futures, a woven collection of voices, stories and lived experiences exploring regeneration as something relational, embodied and pluralistic, rather than a single definition.
Shaped by conversations with more than 500 voices spanning diverse landscapes of lives, disciplines and traditions, the Anthology emerged from Unearthodox’s three year Regenerative Futures programme. What started out as a report on the ‘state of knowledge’ around regeneration, evolved into a collective exploration, with perspectives brought to life through the collaboration of many heads, hearts and hands. Our sincere thanks go to everyone who contributed to the creation of the Anthology for lending their time and wisdom so generously.
Structured around four compass points, the Anthology offers multiple entries for exploration: North for decolonisation and justice, East for rationality and systems, South for embodiment and practice, and West for plurality. Readers are invited to navigate these directions intuitively, based on their role or what calls to them most.
The process of creating the Anthology was neither simple nor linear. It required deep reflection, and a willingness to sit with discomfort as well as possibility. As Anca Damerell reflects in the foreword, “I hadn’t yet understood that regeneration doesn’t just require new methods — it asks for a new self.” This Anthology reflects this journey.
The work honours the reality that regeneration is never finished. There is always more to learn, peel away and honour as we work towards equitable and regenerative futures for all life on Earth.
