REGENEROSITY
Furneaux Futures Forum 2025: Embracing Regenerosity
In 2023, the Furneaux Futures Forum explored the power of regeneration - how we can restore, renew, and rethink our future in ways that support both people and place. This year, we’re taking that idea a step further with a theme that speaks to the generosity within regeneration itself.
Welcome to 2025: the year of Regenerosity.
What is Regenerosity?
Regenerosity is a fusion of regeneration and generosity - a concept that highlights the connection between giving back and building forward. It’s about recognising that true sustainability isn’t just about fixing what’s broken; it’s about fostering a culture of care, contribution, and reciprocity.
We know that when communities work together, when resources flow in thoughtful and equitable ways, and when we take responsibility for the landscapes and systems we rely on, everyone benefits.
🌱 Regenerosity is about:
Giving more than we take – whether in our environment, economy, or everyday interactions.
Creating cycles of abundance – where acts of generosity regenerate not just ecosystems but also relationships, businesses, and communities.
Investing in the future – understanding that what we put in today shapes what will thrive tomorrow.
Why This Matters for the Furneaux Islands
The Furneaux Islands have always been a place of deep connection - between people, land, and sea. Our resilience as an island community has come from our ability to share, adapt, and support one another.
Regenerosity builds on this foundation, asking:
How can we create economic models that regenerate both livelihoods and landscapes?
What does it look like to design visitor experiences where giving back is part of the journey?
How do we make sure our local knowledge and creativity continue to flourish for future generations?
The 2025 Furneaux Futures Forum will bring together thought leaders, changemakers, and community voices to explore these questions and more. Through conversations, workshops, and hands-on initiatives, we’ll discover new ways to apply regenerosity to our islands’ future.
Join Us in Shaping the Future
This isn’t really just a theme - it’s an invitation. An opportunity to think beyond sustainability and into stewardship. To shift from extraction to exchange, from taking to tending, and from consuming to cultivating.
Let’s make 2025 the year of Regenerosity - where the future is shaped by how much we give back, not just how much we take forward.
WHEN?
Plan to be on Flinders Island the first week of August. More details on the Furneaux Futures Forum 2025 and the Furneaux Regenerative Development Retreat coming soon. Stay tuned, and let’s build something truly generous together.
