Festival Opening: A Regenerative Story Circle (Online)
The Re:Generation Collective Festival 2026 opens with a Story Circle, a format rooted in indigenous council traditions and the practice of deep listening.
Rather than a traditional panel, four carefully curated voices speak from lived experience at the threshold between what is ending and what wants to begin.
The Two Questions
Every voice responds to the same two questions:
"What are you composting?" - What are you releasing: a habit, a system, a grief, a way of seeing that no longer serves life?
"What are you growing?" - What are you tending: a practice, a vision, a relationship, a seed you believe in?
The Four Voices
The Roots - Indigenous / Traditional Knowledge
The Trunk - Institutional / UN System
The Canopy - Youth / Next Generation
The Mycelium - Practitioner / Community Weaver
