The Story of Place Institute

The Story of Place Institute believe that to practice regenerative community stewardship requires first and foremost a fundamental shift in our way of thinking and valuing. Such a shift involves moving:

From: seeing humans as separate from nature
To: understanding humans as a part of nature and that nature and culture are co-creating the future

From: One-Size-Fits-All
To: understanding each place as unique requiring unique approaches

From: focusing on parts and pieces
To: beginning from a holistic and integrative understanding of the fabric of life and its working

From: focusing on threats and problems
To: focusing on potential and the opportunity it brings

From: seeking change through advocacy and expertise-driven, silo-based interventions
To: working developmentally and co-creatively, measuring progress by the capacity for rapid learning and co-evolution

From: working on symptoms and marginal fixes
To: working on deep causes and fundamental, systemic change through acupuncture interventions.
