When those on the frontlines of the climate crisis become oversaturated with experiences of loss as typhoons damage and flood more communities, maybe what we need is not more climate ambition, but to truly acknowledge our climate vulnerability. How can we shift from here to regeneration?

An invitation to shift our attention from the symptoms to the root of the climate crisis: Has our disconnect from the biosphere become a normality, or can the intimacy of being in-formed to guide us? What is my unique contribution? What is mine to change when change is seen as an act of generosity?

Rainfed agriculture is the backbone of livelihoods in Zimbabwe. However, extreme inter-seasonal variability of rainfall has brought confusion. Women and children are fearful as floods, droughts and erratic rainfall due to global warming ravage the communities.

It makes sense to trust what the heart knows beyond evidence in a world of conflicting information where our mind alone can no longer provide an adequate navigation system. It makes sense to the heart that earth healing is possible. Our very presence and our care is testimony to what is possible.

When the war hits, there is no space to take care of the environment – you need to take care of your life. Now we need to reframe our regenerative plan considering dead bodies, war scrap and bomb craters. How can we take care of the Future, when our Present is under threat?

As humans, we can facilitate ‘miracles’. We can grow topsoil, ensure that each drop of rain can enter, plant seeds with care, protect the seedlings and regrow forests. We can restore and regenerate the web of life when we refind our place with humility.

The images of families leaving their homes, with what little they can carry, villages destroyed, fields flooded, displacement and corruption, have been constant for many years in these lands. Now, in Latin America there is a breeze of hope and the politics of love is gaining strength.

The highest potential for change sits in places without words. Warm data arises from the interrelatedness of all living systems. We can practice perceiving more and provide conditions to be together in new ways. Join us as Nora explores the spaces that deep change may grow from.

How can each of us become the answer to climate change? The Tao Te Ching says: ‘When the Master runs into a difficulty, she stops and gives herself to it’. Together, we are slowing down, witnessing more, and softening into our next steps.
