Thinking in Public: A "Fishbowl" with Bill Reed & Landstory
What does regenerative practice actually look like in action?
Join Regenesis for live “fishbowl” conversation with Bill Reed and Landstory, where the core processes of regenerative work are made visible as they unfold in real time.
This session is designed to think in public: a chance to see regenerative thinking practiced live: how questions are framed, how attention is held, how meaning is made, and how the living system itself participates in the dialogue.
Participants are invited into the role of Active Witness.
As an Active Witness, you are not a passive consumer of content. You are engaged in holding the space with presence and intention: listening for patterns, noticing what is emerging, and sensing how the conversation shapes itself. Your role helps create the field in which the work unfolds, even without direct participation.
This is an opportunity to experience:
how regenerative practitioners think together in real time
how integration, inquiry, and care show up in practice, not abstraction
what it feels like to participate with a living process rather than observe it from the outside
This session is for those curious about how regenerative practice is enacted, not just described and for anyone interested in strengthening their own capacity to be present, perceptive, and generative in complex conversations.
