Weaving for Regeneration and Universal Wellbeing
Why Weaving is Crucial
We believe it is crucial to advance the practice and profession of weaving for the following reasons:
While we are experiencing a dizzying number of personal, social, cultural, political, economic and ecological crises, we see the potential for a thriving world – if we can effect systemic change towards regeneration and universal wellbeing.
Because personal, social, cultural, political, economic and ecological systems are wholly interdependent, systemic change needs holistic, integrated, and relational approaches.
System change projects need to be coordinated and complementary.
Community and collective action are needed.
Coherence, collaboration, and cocreation are essential – at and between every scale, from local to global.
Facilitating this kind of approach is what we call weaving.
And while it is critical and complex work, it is largely unseen and undervalued.
