Join the seventh and last episode of our new Feminine Futures webinar series. This series brings together the voices of seven women with a broad set of expertise — spiritual, psychological, ecological, and economic — to reassess progress from a feminine living-world perspective. 

In this episode of this series you will hear from Rutendo Ngara, indigenous knowledge systems holder and transdisciplinary researcher, on the topic of 'True Progress and Restoration of the Whole'. There will be time for Q&A afterwards.

True Progress and Restoration of the Whole, is a poetic journey into the past and forward into the future. Rutendo will share about the spiritual systems and practices of indigenous Africans. We will hear about principles such Ubuntu (humanity to others) and Sankofa, and explore what it means to apply our humanity to others and learn from the past to inform the future. We will see the world through the lens of African indigenous cultures, and take inspiration from the natural curves of a river and the natural cycles of time. We will look at the link between the ancient, the local, and the feminine, and weave together diverse lessons that can help us build life-giving futures for all.
