​REMINDER: Join Us for Our Special Public Guest Webinar
with Joanna Sweeney -
author of the soon-to-be-published book ​
​WildCrafting - Transformative Wisdom for a Regenerative Lifestyle

Tues 23 June, 7 pm Irish / UK Time

Dear Reader,
​
​Summer Solstice Greetings

It’s hard to believe the Summer Solstice is almost here! We hope you’re enjoying the long, bright days. The vibrancy of life—every plant and tree—is impossible to ignore.

We hope you can join us for next Tuesday's special Webinar with Joanna​
​
Over the last few weeks, I've been dipping into the ideas and prompts Joanna Sweeney has shared in her personal journey and her interviews with many others about developing a deeply meaningful, rewarding, regenerative lifestyle. ​
​
​We can all improve our wellbeing, our sense of purpose, and the wellbeing of our families, communities, our home places, the planet and future generations, by likewise turning to slower, wiser circular living.
​
​Thank you, Joanna, for sharing how to explore and reflect on 'WildCrafting' a pathway for living well with others, the community of life and for future generations.
​
​This is a slim book yet packed with insights on all aspects of regenerative living: from an essential expansive shift in our values, the importance of tending our inner development, considering how our homes affect our wellbeing, to thinking about ways of earning a livelihood that can improve our and others' lives, to considering broader community wellbeing with the turn to regenerative tourism, and much more.

• The webinar is free for current and Founding members of Haumea Ecoversity;
• there is a discount for past learners,
• and all others are also very welcome to attend.

Joanna McSweeney's soon-to-be-published book, Wildcrafting Pathways: Transformative Wisdom for a Regenerative Lifestyle
(available for pre-order, July 2026)

As Joanna writes:

The Wild-Crafting pathway... 'offers freedom and purpose, but it also challenges us to rethink our values and priorities. It encourages us to embrace creativity, resourcefulness, and community.’

​
Please feel free to share this newsletter with others. Thank you!

Looking forward to seeing you at Joanna's talk next Tuesday, as sharing our stories is central to how we can each be part of bringing forth a better world.
