“The Words of Suiten” cards workshop by Ecological Memes

How might we restore right relationship with interconnected natural ecosystems, others and ourselves?

How might we reweave our daily lives and business practices in tune with the rhythm of life?

Join us for a dialogic workshop with “The Words of Suiten” cards by Ecological Memes to explore these questions for yourself.

Suiten no Kotoba (The Words of Suiten) are practical wisdom rooted in nature and ecosystem that has emerged through Ecological Memes’ wide range of explorations from ecology to eastern philosophy, going beyond dualism and colonialism.

At this workshop, by using the Suiten no Kotoba Cards as inspiration from new perspectives, participants deepen dialogue about inner values and beings that they would like to cherish, and together explore behaviors and mindsets that are needed in the era of co-thriaviity with the more-than-humans.

Refreshments will be served alongside Japanese tea courtesy of Holon.

This workshop precedes an evening public dialogue hosted by the Becoming Regenerative Lab with Yasuhiro Kobayashi an Ecological Memes founder, scholar Saouri Ogura and esteemed architect Michael Pawlyn. Tickets for this should be booked separately here.

Guests are also invited to join us for an earlier workshop with the Becoming Regenerative team to explore the meanings of regeneration through an inter-cultural dialogue & experimentation, which can be booked here.

Our events are being offered with generous support from the Climate and Ecological Transitions Research Hub (Loughborough University London).

Ecological Memes is a Japan-based cross-disciplinary collective of researchers and practitioners that explore emergent modes of human-nature inter-relationality beyond dualistic, mechanistic and siloed perspectives.

By opening up a learning field between ecology, anthropology, art, science, business, and design, Ecological Memes provides opportunities to cultivate somatic and ecological awareness, de/reconstruct living wisdom at the intersection of Eastern and Western ontologies, and put it into critical practice towards co-thriving futures.
