Regeneration is a common theme these days. But does it go far enough? What of the Spirit, bio-cosmology, connection to the land, to our good hearts, and our original ancestral ways? Indigenous Regenerative Intelligence points to this reunification of that which has become separated through colonization, an extractive economy and a reductionist, industrial mindset, focused on production, self-interest and consumerism.
Native cosmology connects us to the land and focuses our energy; by embodying it, we naturally work with the environment from a place of sensitivity, cooperation and understanding from the heart. James Skeet, Executive Director of Covenant Pathways and Spirit Farm, joins us to share from his Navajo (Diné) perspective the depths of his own Indigenous Regenerative Intelligence and remind us why we must all embody an organic, indigenous mindset where all things are sacred.
Our future depends upon us personally and collectively returning to and remembering our original, indigenous regenerative intelligence in order to assist Mother Earth in becoming balanced once again. What has been despoiled and degraded can be transformed, revitalized, and renewed as we collaborate and cooperate for common purpose and once again live in service to Nature and the continuance of life itself.
