Helena Norberg-Hodge and John Seed come together to share their vast experience and discuss the need for localisation and reconnection. Join us for an evening of insight and dialogue about reorienting our economy, so that it may better serve our profound connections with one another and the living world alike. Whether we connect over food, our shared neighbourhoods or our watersheds we must shift our livelihoods and systems to be more rooted in our local places and to more tangibly honour the responsibilities we hold to each other and the web of life.

This year, World Food Day focuses on the ‘Right to food for a better life and a better future’, emphasising everyone's right to diverse, nutritious, affordable, and safe food—from our fields and markets to our tables.

You are invited to join the Regen Sydney Food Chats to grow a more regenerative local food system for our city. Start by getting your hands in the rich soil of Pocket City Farms and get inspired by three-panel speakers on the theme of World Food Day, all while enjoying a delicious dinner made with locally sourced ingredients.

Join special guests Alex Baumann (WSU post-growth lecturer), Erin Remblance (co-founder of re(Biz)), and Gareth Bryant (USYD political economist), with UNSW’s Tommy Wiedmann (sustainability scientist) and Bronwen Morgan (Professor of Law) as hosts, for a vital discussion on sustainability and the urgent challenge we face to create a world which ensures human needs are met without sacrificing a sustainable, inclusive future 🌟

Join us for an interactive workshop focusing on:

• Mapping existing regenerative initiatives and anchor institutions in Waverley

• Applying systems thinking and the dimensions of the Sydney Doughnut

• Identifying opportunities for alliance-building and gaps in action

Join us for a film screening of Outgrow the System on Sunday 25th August. The documentary will followed by a discussion, with nibbles included. Come along to learn more and meet other folk - wherever you might be on your journey to regeneration 🌟

We are thrilled to introduce you to the new Thinker in Residence program, focusing on creative civic engagement and regeneration economics in Waverley. This initiative brings together innovative heads, hearts and hands so that together, we can strengthen wellbeing in our neighbourhood - Regen Waverley 🌱

It's time to reveal a distinctly Sydney-flavoured doughnut! In this Spring Assembly, we will share key insights from the community workshops & roundtables, Regen Sydney's 3 streams of action and ways each of us can support our place(s) to thrive in the years ahead, using the Doughnut as a collective compass.

Join us for a special Regen Story Cafe to explore the 'sticky' question of working across different scales - from neighbourhoods to the metropolis - within Greater Sydney.

We’ll be hearing stories from 3 inspiring people who are working at these different scales, and learning from their experience. Then, we'll have some smaller group discussions to delve into the ideas & themes that emerge, how they might apply as we create the Sydney Doughnut.

Join us for Regen Sydney’s first gathering. We’ll be exploring what a regenerative future for Sydney might look like, as well as our role it it, using tools from Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics Action Lab. We’ll also be hearing from the Regen Melb team about their journey so far…
