The Enlivenment Network
ABOUT US
Our network of engaged individuals and organisations is working to create a dynamic, ecologically healthy and socially just society, spreading the seeds of an ENLIVENMENT WORLDVIEW that provides a pathway to a future that combines our First Nations ethos of Caring for Country in all its multiple levels of meaning, with the values and aspirations of the other ethnic communities that make up multicultural Australia.
The Enlivenment Network is the organisational anchor of NENA, New Economy Network Australia.
Referenced in our logo, we draw inspiration from the courage, resilience and determination of burra (Australian eels) who each year make an epic migration to the Coral Sea to breed, with their tiny baby elvers making their way back and up the coastal rivers to their homes, including up the Nepean River through the concrete barriers of the Warragamba dam, to Lake Burragorang, Gundungurra Country. A metaphor for the resilience of Indigenous knowledge systems speaking back to modern Australia.
Our artists, creatives, storytellers and culture change advocates are Community Weavers, drawing on ancient wisdom traditions, the insights of science, the nourishment of connection and the liberating power of story, to support a distinct paradigm shift to an ENLIVENMENT WORLDVIEW. Away from the technocratic, neo-liberal economics of profit maximisation, techno-harvesting of human emotions and alienation from the natural world, which underpins the intersecting crises of our times.
We seek to support the growth of a mycelium-like network of cultural connections that celebrate our eco-spiritual kinship relationships with the more-than-human world, to nourish our courage and resilience, and to hand over life-affirming legacies to our coming generations, human and non-human alike.
We pay respect to all the Elders, past, present and future of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia.
