The Art of Regenerative Educatorship
In this 2025 book, the faculty of SRE collated their shared learnings about regenerative educatorship over the past decade of working in the field of regenerative development. The book, which was published by the University of Amsterdam Press, includes over 300 reflective questions crafted to help you transform your educational artistry. The book is available in open access format, free of charge.
"This book is a timely provocation to all of us to consider being a regenerative educator as an important role that we can develop as an art form. Since regeneration is inherently developmental from the cellular to the ecosystemic to human learning, we all can become better regenerative educators for each other as we continue to live the questions together. The book's dialogical format shows that regenerative learning happens in the relationality between learner and educator and our capacity to constantly switch these roles."
