OUR IMPACT
Embracing Rainforest Economies
Inspired by the inherent wisdom of nature, we've embraced the concept of the rainforest economy—an ecosystem-driven model that mirrors the vitality and interconnectedness of natural environments.
Discover a groundbreaking perspective on community and organisational dynamics through the Rainforest Economies paper, authored by SevGennie Erin Sharkey. This visionary exploration draws parallels between the resilience and interconnectedness of rainforests and the way thriving communities operate. In this exploration, we delve into how the rainforest economy shapes our impact and nurtures a holistic, thriving community.
Join us in reimagining the way organisations and communities function. Embrace the rainforest economy—a paradigm where unity, adaptability, and shared values drive our collective impact.
The Rainforest Economy key insights:
-
Much like a rainforest teeming with life, our organisation thrives on the diversity of perspectives, skills, and passions that our community members bring. We've reimagined traditional organisational structures into dynamic ecosystems, where every individual is a crucial contributor, enriching our collective tapestry.
-
Visualise each of our projects as a magnificent tree, its roots grounded in a mission that resonates with our values. Just as trees flourish with the energy they draw from the earth, our projects are powered by the dedication, creativity, and inspiration of our members. They contribute like leaves absorbing sunlight, converting it into the energy that drives our endeavours.
-
Nature doesn't stand still, and neither do we. Embracing the rainforest model means welcoming change and growth. Our organisation evolves organically, with roles and responsibilities shifting like branches in the wind. We believe in nurturing every member's potential and allowing them to find their path within our dynamic ecosystem.
-
Our values serve as the fertile soil of our rainforest-inspired ecosystem. Respect, Openness, Upliftment—these principles are the foundation of our interactions and relationships. They nurture a culture where diversity is celebrated, ideas flourish, and each member's contribution is cherished.
-
Just as the sun's energy nourishes the rainforest, we tap into the boundless universal energy that flows within us all. When our community unites, this energy multiplies, fueling innovation and driving us toward transformative outcomes. We encourage individuals to step into the state of "flow," where inspiration leads to impactful actions.
-
Rain is the lifeblood of the rainforest, and resources sustain our projects. In our ecosystem, abundance isn't hoarded; it's shared. When resources are scarce, we pool together to support one another. When abundance prevails, we celebrate and redistribute, ensuring that growth and collaboration remain at the heart of our journey.
