Regenerative Impulses

World Ethic Forum gathering | 2026 Nairobi

July 4, 2026 | 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM

📍 The Nairobi National Museum

The public event unfolds under the theme Regenerative Impulses, connecting our stories of bioregional aliveness, understood as the living forces that restore, reconnect, and renew life across ecological, social, cultural, and economic systems.

The public event welcomes a broad constellation of local and international participants into a vibrant exchange of practices, perspectives, and lived experiences.

This day creates space to explore Regenerative Impulses across four interconnected spheres: cultural, social, ecological, and economic. Through parallel workshops, dialogues, and thematic labs (some of which are offered by the Firekeepers), participants will engage with people and organisations who are actively working on, contributing towards, researching, studying, and practising regeneration.

Local initiatives, marginalised voices, and lived experience are centred throughout the day. Firekeepers will be present both as participants and contributors and will offer their perspectives and embodied knowledge, supporting intergenerational, cross-sector and cultural exchange.

Participants are encouraged to share their areas of interest as the program continues to take shape.
