Being active in different groups and approaches like biomimicry, ecopsychology, systemic thinking, and regenerative thinking, I am wondering how we could combine our initiatives and become more efficient in our activities. We often have the same objective: solving the current environmental crisis and improving conditions for humanity and the environment at large. I feel that we are often working parallel to each other, but not with each other. There is, of course, some interdisciplinary interaction, but is this happening enough? I feel an increasing desire to try to connect the dots, uniting all our activities into one powerful movement. I am still rather new to many of these different schools of thought and not well-connected enough to be aware of all the activities that are ongoing. I would like to initiate a deeper discussion on the matter. If anyone has ideas or different insights, please share them here. Below is an AI generated comparisson of the different approaches: Biomimicry, regenerative thinking, systemic thinking, and ecopsychology share several commonalities, primarily revolving around their approaches to understanding and interacting with the natural world. Here are the main connections: 1. Holistic Perspective: -Systemic Thinking: Emphasizes understanding the interconnections within systems, viewing the whole rather than just individual parts. - Ecopsychology: Focuses on the interdependence between human beings and the natural environment, promoting mental health through a connection with nature. - Biomimicry: Studies nature's designs and processes to inspire sustainable solutions, seeing nature as an interconnected system with lessons to teach. - Regenerative Thinking: Aims to create systems that restore, renew, or revitalize their own sources of energy and materials, considering the entire ecosystem in its approach. 2. Sustainability and Resilience: - All four approaches advocate for sustainable practices that do not deplete resources but instead promote resilience and long-term health of ecosystems and human societies.

I applied to work with ASU to develop my work and I was just accepted into one of their programs! Looking forward to seeing how this partnership develops and how I can share what I learn and have access to!

I want to share with you all, my CONVICTION. I believe in creating new meta for Biomimicry & Education. I believe in Art as a language of authentic communication. (artwork below created by @Dr Nicolene du Preez since I've been diving deep with Blockchain technology & Art applied to Biomimicry) I believe in myself and @Dr Nicolene du Preez having what it takes to lead this into reality. We created this 'virtual safe space' for all of us to gather for reasons we are yet to realize and actualize. I believe my purpose is to create new possibilities for people and planet through my experience, expertise, creativity, openness, trust and Love for Life. I believe co-creation awaits you and me, to believe. I believe that Life can be channeled, masked in the form of money, ideas, thoughts, actions, words, creative expressions and collaborations that change lives and heal. I believe in Nature's existential mystery and beauty. I believe in uplifting people, projects, humanity and planet in UNITY. I believe we can. ~ My curiosity now asks all of you beautiful human beings here the following ⤵️ (reply in comments) WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?
