Episode 5: Rejoice
Rejoice:
To rejoice is to celebrate, to feel joyful, delighted, happy, or glad.
Where do we find joy today? In an age of eco-anxiety, with a mental health pandemic piled on top of a viral one, how can we bring joy into our lives?
Many are deeply concerned about the future - ecological collapse, and future pandemics, to name just a couple. Meanwhile, short-term dopamine hits like online shopping and scrolling through TikTok might placate our urges, but can they truly make us feel longer-term joy? How can we build joyful f...
Episode 4: Rebirth
Rebirth can mean different things to different people. For some it speaks of seasonal cycles, of vegetation renewed, and natural processes. Yet for others, and historically, it also holds more metaphysical connotations, of resurrection, or reincarnation. A renewal and a renaissance, a rebirth can seem to offer a second chance, the opportunity to reset the clock, and begin again from the beginning. Yet will this time be any different?

Episode 1: Reimagine
As the UK slowly starts to open up again, we want to Reimagine a new world that could emerge as we come out of lockdown and return to some form of normality.

Can we rewild our relationship with our local communities to be stronger and more caring? How can we better use the spaces we have available to us in our local areas?

Episode 3: Reboot
Reboot means switching off a machine or device to update it, or get it working again if it's malfunctioning. With this episode of Regrowth we want to think about Rebooting society, focusing in particular on businesses, big tech companies, leaders, governments, and civic organisations.
As we come out of lockdown, we have a huge opportunity to Reboot our approach to sustainability and be on a more actively eco-conscious path that goes beyond individual actions. What does Reboot mean to us in this sense? What role do the organisations that form our society play? And just how urgent...
