In this episode, Katherine Long and Selio Verzera explore the complexities of today's era, organizations, and their dis-connection with nature-based thinking. Katherine offers a different perspective on how we can weave our dreams and our individual intentions into a cohesive fabric, fostering community and societal growth and bridging the gap between personal aspirations and collective fulfillment.
How do we weave and organize ourselves at whatever level, individual, community, societal, as nature? How might we bridge individual aspirations with community growth?
Drawing from her childhood and work, Katherine explained the profound experience of being in close contact with nature, even for a few minutes. Being in nature in a certain way automatically takes people to an intense place where they feel, on different levels, the feeling of “own insignificance” standing at the foot of thousands of years old trees. Then, it is possible to recreate the proper condition for all living systems' innate capacity to heal.
When we understand that, some core principles and practices can support that healing at any level, and then we bring that healing or regenerative presence wherever we go, also in an organization. Katherine and Stelio speak about regenerative work as a pathway to peace—a different idea of working with the ecology of competition and collaboration, looking at what happens in nature and letting her teach us a more healthy ecology at work.
