“As people of the land, returning to place is how we heal ourselves and the earth.” – Lucie Greenwood
This is a dialogue responding to the inspiring provocation from Johnnie Freeland (Ngāti Te Ata Waiohua, Ngai Tūhoe) of Te Ao Māori and regenerative thinking as binocular vision, two lenses for looking at the world that together, can help us see a way forward. A new trajectory that sees our places as whole living systems regenerating: water ways, ecologies, communities, cultures and economies.
No te takere o Kurahaupo ki Te Waipounamu
Ko Ngāti Kuia, Ngāti Apa ki re Rā Tō, Rangitane ngā Iwi
Ko Gena Moses-Te Kani ahau
I descend from the people off the Waka/canoe Kurahaupo in the South Island, Aotearoa/New Zealand. I am a mother, grandmother, and servant to my people. As a facilitator of mana motuhate/ self determination, I am focussed on being awake and engaging processes that reconnect people and groups to their aspirations and journey to achieve them. I am a forever student of living system processes with a focus on groups and organisations and a recent graduate of the Regenerative Practitioners course.
Lucy-Mary was a child and adolescent therapist before transitioning into the field of community development and regenerative practice. This shift came from a desire to work on systems change that could transform not only human mental health, but the health of place as a whole: people and their wider environments together. Lucy-Mary is in a community developer role within central Auckland, through the Aaiotanga Trust, and is co-faculty on The Regenerative Pracitioner Series. She continues to draw on her therapeutic skills, arts background, and Celtic whakapapa to help facilitate learning journeys of individuals, groups and organisations who see potential for regeneration in the living systems that they care about.
