Interbeing
Regenerative Design Primer, Draft, published by UK Architects Declare in March 2024, defines states: ‘The writer Charles Eisenstein has made the case that a lot of our problems arise from a ‘story of separation’ that sees us as isolated individuals in a competitive world of survival of the fittest. The opposite of this is ‘interbeing’ (a term coined by Vietnamese monk Thich Nhat Hanh) which is a state of connectedness and interdependence of all phenomena. It is worth asking ourselves how different our towns and cities would be if they were designed based on interbeing.’
