Aude Omerin’s Post

Our next CDC Thursday on 3rd October will be hosted by Aude Omerin (https://lnkd.in/eqkWVkKY), a futures researcher and friend from the [y]our2040 community who is currently visiting from France. She’ll share learnings and methods from her work in futures research. As usual, we will meet at 18:30 at Impact Hub Colab in Café Auer. You will find us sitting around the wooden CDC board. FYI: For the November CDC Thursday, we might move it from 7 November evening to 6 November daytime in alignment with the Design for Planet Festival. We are just checking the logistics and possibility of a live screening and will keep you posted. For more details regarding the festival, visit https://lnkd.in/eSEwP2qS

🚴♀️ Une fois de plus, les Supertresses étaient au rendez-vous ! 🚴 Parmi les 1900 cyclistes présents pour cette 36ème édition, 125 d'entre eux représentaient les couleurs de Tresse Industrie !

Writing these lines at this point in our human journey has to be an exercise in humility. The theme of this issue is ‘Realigning with Earth Wisdom’. How would a white, middle-aged, academically over-educated male have something to say about that? Given the centuries of violation this particular demographic has enacted upon the community of life, is it even appropriate to accept this invitation? I write these lines from relative comfort at a time when many are suffering the degenerative effects of the Western narrative of separation that has objectified life, disrespected fellow humans on the basis of gender or ethnicity, and othered nature for centuries. For too long have we disregarded Earth Wisdom as it has been held in custody by our elder brothers and sisters — the indigenous people of Africa, Australia, Asia, the Americas and Europe. In response to the now strikingly evident destruction and inequality the narrative of separation has wrought, we have seen the interest in regenerative development and regenerative cultures grow rapidly in recent years. It is imperative to highlight that regeneration is an inherent pattern of life itself and that all our distant common ancestors understood life as a regenerative community of which we are members, not masters. Our species evolved primarily through collaboration and in co-evolving mutuality within the ecosystems we inhabited. For 98% of our common journey as hominids we have lived in reciprocal custodianship within the places and bioregions we called home. From the forests of Colombia and Peru to the Pacific NorthWest and Australia, evidence is mounting that human inhabitants co-created and nurtured these peak ecosystems to higher diversity, abundance and bio-productivity over many millennia. We are all indigenous to life as a planetary process. The central lesson of many Earth wisdom traditions is about alignment with life as a process, living in right relationship and letting life’s regenerative patterns flow through us. In this way of being we understand ourselves not as owners but rather as expressions of place. The land does not belong to us, we belong to the land.The land and the sea will be there long after we return to the soil as compost for new life. Aligning with Earth wisdom is about living in right relationship. We are relational beings. Each one of us is unique and a nexus of intimate reciprocity within life’s regenerative community. To align with Earth wisdom we have to not just learn from but as nature. Janine Benyus elegantly distilled the central lesson of biomimicry to one sentence: “Life creates conditions conducive to life.” As life, how do we let Earth wisdom flow through us as we set out to create conditions conducive not just for all of humanity but for all of life? ... https://lnkd.in/e8ektQq
