Collapse And Regeneration: Walking the Line Between Denial and Despair
A couple of months ago, I received an email from Jenn Meilleur, our soon to be new Executive Director at NewStories. She was curious about an article she had received on Deep Adaptation or “Adapting to likely collapse”.
Her question galvanized an outpouring of my thoughts that have been percolating for months on Collapse and Regeneration, which has become the emergent theme of NewStories work. For years now, NewStories has utilized the Two Loops map of a world in transition. The first loop represents the rise and fall trajectory of our current civilization, based on a set of worldviews and values that emerged in the Scientific Revolution of the late 1700s. We talk about this loop as having peaked and being in decline.
