A new hearth for progressives
Regenerate UK is a new hearth for progressives in the UK, with the potential to become a new political party and grassroots community movement.
Regenerate UK aims to cultivate:
- A politics in service to all of life
- Bringing our way of life into balance with all of life
- Joy and pleasure, compassion and power together
- Everything else unfolds from there
It’s a member organisation, where some members voluntarily pay a monthly membership fee. Together we provide practical, intellectual, emotional and financial support to Regenerate UK candidates running in elections of any level wherever they are, bringing a Regenerative Voice to UK political space.
I am one stitch of wool; can I find a square? Probably a local square. If others do the same, perhaps we can knit our squares together, and make a blanket, a movement, for better politics and a better UK, a Thriving Life Paradigm.
Knitting healthy mycelium of civil society roots; connecting with allied movements and initiatives, and being powerful together.
On the agenda is:
Political Regeneration
- Replacing the House of Lords with something representative
- Proportional Representation
- A wholesome political culture; improving relational skills and norms in politics and institutions
- Abolishing the Royal Family
Economic Regeneration
- Composting capitalism / neoliberalism
- Transitioning business models and shifting resources away from economic globalisation
- Cultivating regenerative economy, inclusive prosperity
- Moving towards equality in resources and power, nationally and internationally: a wealth redistribution commission

Back into the source of love for all living kind
Can this time, this thicket of wicked problems all knotted…. Provoke the emergence of a Symbiocene, where life lives in symbiosis with life….
Let’s try.
About me, the inviter
I am a progressive lover of life: a mother, musician and teacher with one hour a week available for political action. 4pm on a Thursday. (I also have a 1st in Political Science and several years in research, change work, think tanks etc.) My name is Briony Greenhill.
I am tired of being politically homeless and unrepresented in my vision for and belief in the possibility of a far better life for us in the UK, our relationships with the rest of the world, and how we do our politics. I seek to organise.
If Carl Jung is right and the scale of political shitness is equal to the scale of collective shadow
Then this is a place for folks who have done a lot of healing work and are ready to make a better politics for Britain.
Knitting civil society mycelium
Connecting, interconnecting; acting together.
Organising.
Very practically
I will be available on Zoom most weeks Thursday at 4pm to meet with whoever wishes to do some knitting. https://zoom.us/j/3077432109.
