Regeneration

This book is a call to leave behind exploitative, exhausting systems and actively contribute to a regenerative future. Henrike Gootjes explores regeneration as a radical response to today’s social, ecological, and economic crises, asking how our institutions and systems can fundamentally change. Drawing on lived experiences from Australia, Jordan, Northern Ireland, and Ukraine, she presents ten strategic principles for creating lasting transformation. By harnessing the power of storytelling, education, design, and collective action, Gootjes offers an inspiring and practical framework for shaping a more just, resilient, and life-affirming world -one that is truly worth living in for future generations.
