We’re in a transitionary socio-cultural moment between systems with a growing recognition of the imperative to change the direction of social and planetary travel. New Works Regeneration is a knowledge commons that uses conversations as a space for emerging the myriad dimensions of radical improvement. The conversations are free and open to all with the intentions of strengthening connections, expanding perspectives, and championing important contributions. Esteemed writers volunteer to spend time with us, sharing their works as prompts for discussion amongst participants in breakouts.
