"The precious gift of being alive." Over the moon to finally meet Daniel Christian Wahl: a bioregioning pioneer and source of inspiration for me and for so many in the field. Intensity and embodiment of right action, combined with a gentle life-affirming stance that is heartwarming and refreshing. His book 'Designing Regenerative Cultures', published 10 years ago, is as relevant as ever. Honour where honour is due for your teachings and unrelenting devotion 🙏 Bioregioning is hard work. In an intimate setting of 'Terranauten' at De Groene Afslag, artfully held by Shinta Oosterwaal, we also touched upon the diversity of bioregioning approaches in the field. Vital rivers, landscapes and communities are a prerequisite for the survival and wellbeing of all living beings, including us. "We are expressions of the places we inhabit and of life's inherent regenerative impulse." Wibe Veenbaas In dierbare herinnering taught me to "honour your colleagues and do your own thing". That rings true to me more than ever: In these times we need to honour and support each other's pioneering efforts and contributions to spark regeneration, and cannot afford to lose energy on competing or judging, even if we would go about things differently. After all, it is the quality of our relations that makes the difference.
