Hi
I’m excited to be here and to read about REGEN Sydney which I learnt about as I am reading Paddy Le Flufy's excellent book https://ko-fi.com/s/260585ff4f
Which I learnt about through Deep Transformation Network webinar
Which I learnt about through a Climate Change and Plastics Facebook page.
I live in a small country town in Far Nor th Queensland, Mossman on Yalanji Country.
I would say its a sugar cane town but our mill has just gone bust
This has followed our harrowing Cyclone Jasper and post flood events.
I am keen to see change - good ways - in this space up here.
Its inevitable but we are I think isolated from the opportunities which DEAL and such groups can bring. The fear is we may become a ghost town.
I love that REGEN Sydney was prompted by the question from Darkinjung Elder, Uncle Phil Bligh - ‘how do we live in this land with joy?’ (the question came via our community member David Beaumont).
This wisdom brought me to tears. I moved here from Canberra to work with the Kuku Yalanji and now work for canefarmers. So links with land are strong and tradition in rural communities are known to me also. I am not a big player here but am delving into transformative models in the hope of translating these to those who are invested in land and country as they seek to define the next steps for our town that has done sugar for 130 years.
Cheers
Jo
