The topic of this final episode of Series 2 of Re-Alliance Radio is Adaptation. As our contexts are always changing, and as our communities grow and evolve, or if we are faced with disasters or crises, how might we adapt to best meet ever changing needs?

We are joined by special guest Jehane Akiki, founder of Farms Not Arms, a collective of designers, farmers, strategists, and agriculturalists who have come together to build an integrated, multi-agricultural educational farm model that heals land, health, and community. Farms Not Arms' first farm is in the Beqaa, Lebanon, bringing together refugees and host communities to increase food security, ease climate change, and promote social cohesion.

A regenerative and nature-inspired design process is often, by nature, reflective and adaptive. But often we can forget to take time for deep reflection.

In this episode of Re-Alliance Radio's Designing Regenerative Change series, we explore Reflection. Once we are in the process of implementation, and we are delivering our regenerative projects, how might we build learning and reflection into the process? How might we be open to the things that go well, and also the things that don't go well that we can learn from?

When you're deepening into a regenerative design process, there are a lot of parts that come before implementation. But when you're ready to take action, what do you need to consider before getting going?

The topic of this episode of Re-Alliance Radio is Implementation. How might we deliver on our vision and our design? How do we still embed regenerative principles in the way we implement?

Hosted by James Atherton and Jackie Kearney.

In this season of Re-Alliance Radio, we're exploring a regenerative design process, and how it can be applied in different contexts.

The topic of this session is Designing for Action. How might we best learn from the Visioning and Mapping stages, to put our ideas and plans 'down to paper'? What could it look like to make formalised plans for the upcoming work?

Hosted by James Atherton and Jackie Kearney from Re-Alliance.

In this season of Re-Alliance Radio, we are exploring what it could look like to deepen into a process-led approach to regeneration. How might you take time to embed regenerative, nature-inspired principles into your work? How do you do it in a way that is participatory and community-led?

The topic of this session is Mapping Resources, the second session in the series. How might we best work with our communities to help map out the resources we currently have available to us to help achieve our goals? What would it look like to map out the seen and the unseen elements of our Place, and the communities we're working with?

Hosted by James Atherton and Jackie Kearney from Re-Alliance.

In this season of Re-Alliance Radio, we are exploring a regenerative design process. Why are processes just as important, or perhaps even more important, that practices?

In this episode, we explore Visioning, the first step the process we examine in this series. Why is it important to start with visioning? How do you go through this process with community?

Hosted by James Atherton and Jackie Kearney from Re-Alliance.

Welcome to Re-Alliance’s Designing Regenerative Change podcast series, hosted by James Atherton and Jackie Kearney. Each of these podcast episodes in this series of Re-Alliance Radio focuses on a different stage of a regenerative design process. Grounded in regenerative paradigms and principles, and contextualised with inspiring real world examples from Re-Alliance members and the wider community, you will be guided on steps you can take to bring your regenerative vision to life.

This series was originally recorded as a webinar. If you prefer to watch along rather than listen, find the series on www.re-alliance.org/videos or youtube.com/@re-alliance.

As we look at the changes to our world in the past year, we can see that regeneration is needed now more than ever. In a world challenged by war, the increasing cost of living, and the worsening effects of the climate and nature crises, it has been an immensely challenging year for grassroots regenerative groups.

And yet amidst these challenges, Re-Alliance members have guided the way in showcasing how community-led regenerative responses to disaster, displacement, and development can be truly transformative and impactful.

What happened in the Re-Alliance network over the past year? In the final episode of this season of Re-Alliance Radio, we speak to some fantastic members to share in some of their successes. In this episode, we are joined by Sarah Queblatin from Green Releaf, Jerry Kudakwashe from Fambidzanai, Samatha Koches from Nourish All, Bemeriki Bisimwa Dusabe from Rwamwanja Rural Foundation, Noah Ssempijja from YICE Uganda, Bee Rowan from Strawbuild, and Paulinho Muzaliwa from Unidos Social Centre.

With an accredited stamp of approval from the UN's Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, Rosemary Morrow has re-released a fully updated version of her acclaimed book, now titled 'Earth Restorer's Guide to Permaculture'. What's changed? What does Permaculture have to offer people experiencing displacement, conflict, war, and ecological breakdown?

In this episode, host James Atherton inquires what inspired Rosemary Morrow to rewrite her book, and why humanitarian workers and community responders need to build their ecological literacy. With decades of experience teaching in situations of conflict and displacement, Rosemary offers guidance for Permaculture teachers, and how grassroots practitioners might use her book to create change in their communities.

Earth User's Guide to Permaculture is out now, published by Melliodora: https://melliodora.com/catalogue/earth-restorers-guide-to-permaculture/

The Humanitarian sector can seem immovable, static and rigid in the way it works, while at the same time is ever moving and ever adapting in its priorities. How can a sector such as this rapidly adapt to the worsening climate crisis?
