On May 30, r3.0 Senior Director Bill Baue presented a Keynote on “Bioregional Relationality and Regeneration as Collapse Resilience” at the “Spiritualities of Resilience: Aligning with Earth” day-long symposium at the Hartford International University for Religion & Peace.

Here’s what he presented:

“Given the advanced states of ecological and social collapses, how can we respond in self- and community-empowered ways? Building on the psychological, emotional, and spiritual flexibility afforded by Collapse Acceptance, a next step in the Collapse Response Continuum is Collapse Resilience, which seeks to 1) mitigate the severity of collapses; 2) adapt to emergent post-collapse scenarios; and 3) re-pattern ways of being that reinforce social and ecological integrity.”

“In this presentation, we will explore bioregionalism as re-inhabitation of our geographic terrains as well as our terrains of consciousness (to paraphrase bioregional progenitor Peter Berg) through relationality between peoples & cultures, living species, and earth, and regeneration of all living systems. I’ll  share examples from my work both at the bioregional scale here in the Northeast Woodlands Bioregioning Collective, which collaborates closely with the Inter-Tribal Alliance, and my work globally enhancing coherence in the emergent bioregional movement.”
