Good evening everyone and thank you so much for choosing to celebrate this award with me today. I am deeply grateful to the RSA for creating the Regenerative Futures programme. It is a powerful invitation to the global fellowship of cultural creatives — who are united by this over 260 year old institution — to take time to consider regenerative development and design and its significance to all our future. More importantly it invites culturally creative discourse, creativity and experimentations with pathways that may bring about such a future.
Personally, I am deeply touched and humbled by the honour of being awarded the RSA’s Bicentenary Medal 2021. Thank you! Acknowledgment from established institutions is rare for the many people around the world who are already finding purpose and deep meaning in reconnecting to life’s regenerative impulse.
This award is for the many generations before us who knew how to “walk into the future in beauty” as the Navajo advice their children. Without our shared indigenous ancestors we simply would not be here now.
This award is also to all of you out there who have kept alive the ancient traditions of living in right relationship with the community of life.
This award is to all the pioneers who have tried in different ways to bring the insights of science and the power of design and technology into service to life itself again.
