Women, Arts & Regenerative World Making
But where are all the men?
Is restoring the planet becoming women’s work? Statistics show that female participation in Earth restoration is significantly higher than males across the world (data on other representations of gender is not yet widely available). We would like to develop a deeper understanding as to why and how this disparity has arisen, opening lines of explorative enquiry. We would like to discover if there is a new road we can take together, a united and balanced one, as we enter times of unprecedented challenge and renewal.

What We Can Do Now
finding hope & resilience in creativity
TWO HOUR LIVE SESSION
WITH ELIZABETH GLEAVEThis talk is founded on the principle that creativity is the very tool that can offer us solutions. The only one mighty enough to transcend these times. Every industry, every profession, every venture is founded on the weight of the imagination. Whether aware of it or not, imagination is the founding principle of every human made implement, system and civilisation that we see. If we can begin to recognise that creativity can breath new life in to these places they all have the chance to become innovative to our collective needs. When rooted in the awareness of the whole they will lead us to united futures for all beings living and those yet to be.
