In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, it is my pleasure to welcome culture designer, Joe Brewer who describes his work as being in service to humanity and the planet. Joe and I have know of each other for some time, but this is the first time we meet and talk. We both live bioregionally-embedded permaculture lives and focus on regenerative design and education globally. Thank you for join us here in conversation.

I see Joe as one of the most interesting and brilliant ecological thinkers of my generation and I just loved the chance to explore so many ideas with him. We talked about what it means to live regeneratively, how change happens and what he sees are the seeds of regenerative culture.

Joe created the Center for Applied Cultural Evolution and the Design Institute for Regenerating Earth which holds "the vision to see entire communities gain the ability to guide their own evolutionary processes to become more healthy and resilient in our rapidly changing world."

His book The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth is available through the gift economy. You can access it free via this link, and also offer a gift via his patreon account. You can also join the Earth Regenerators study group that meets weekly to explore how we might collaborate to regenerate the Earth.
