Approach

Supporting grounded, connected responses in times of complex change by honouring diverse ways of being and knowing.

Foundations

The Anayennisi approach weaves these foundations into an integrated experience where deep learning, embodied presence, and regenerative action are inseparable.

  • Anayennisi invites us to develop a literacy of loss in a culture that suppresses sorrow and seeks quick fixes. Here, we practice staying present with what is unraveling and attuning to what is emerging. By holding the paradox that grief and joy are intertwined, we expand our collective capacity for regenerative, life-affirming action.

  • We recognize a world alive with entanglement and interconnection. Anayennisi fosters an embodied awareness of how our choices reverberate through the lives of others. This relational consciousness resists the myth of the isolated self while honouring the sovereignty of all beings.

  • We live within economic, political, and ecological systems that shape our lives, sometimes invisibly and often through palpable oppression. Systems awareness nurtures the insight to name these forces, understand their histories, and intervene with courageous wisdom that leads to transformative action.

  • We reorient learning as a profound act of remembering, unlearning, and reimagining in service of ecological renewal, planetary healing, and peace. Regenerative education honours the whole learner, cultivating the capacity to live in right relationship with the Earth, to act with compassion and discernment, and to contribute collectively with love.

  • We inherit stories, knowledge, traumas, and strengths from those who came before us. Ancestral remembering reconnects us with these inheritances, recovering ways of living that sustained communities and ecosystems for generations. Here, we deepen our capacity to face today’s crises with wisdom and resilience.

The Anayennisi approach guides us toward…

  • Deep systemic transformation rooted in peace, interconnectedness and justice

  • Regenerative actions that restore, reconnect and reciprocate

  • Paradigms rooted in relational wisdom

  • Engaging deeper possibilities for renewal by facing grief, acknowledging harm, embracing possibility, and stepping into mutual accountability, power and responsibility

  • Leadership that listens, moves with care, and risks being changed by what it encounters

  • A grounded, decolonial approach that welcomes emotion, intuition, and ancestral wisdom as rich ecologies of intelligence

  • Spaces that can hold the complexity, nuance, pace and paradox essential to deep transformation, not only expectations, outcomes and solutions

The Anayennisi approach guides us away from…

  • Patterns and systems that extract more than they nourish and reciprocate

  • Unsustainable rhythms created by disposability, speed and scarcity paradigms

  • Supremacist ideologies in all their forms

  • Denying our collective grief for a planet in crisis

  • Changemaking and rigid thinking that fray relationships and fragment communities

  • Dismissing our collective, transformative agency

  • An overreliance on language, frameworks, and “best practices” that flatten complexity
