Returning to Place invites us to reimagine our relationship with the living world through the lens of regeneration. For millennia, humans lived in reciprocity with land, water, and kin; in the blink of history, we forgot. This first volume of Meander asks: how can we remember, and reinterpret these ways of living for future generations?

Across 144 pages, you’ll find stories of bioregioning and bioregional weaving, a playful quiz, a river’s voice recalling her watershed since the Ice Age, and reflections on wild swimming as restoration. Bayo Akomolafe offers a poetic etymology of “meandering,” while other voices explore inner transformation, practical toolkits, and regenerative culture across geographies.

Structured into four streams – Reflections, Field Notes, Rafts, and Currents – each perspective offers a different way into regeneration: through reflection, through lived experience, through tools, and through culture. As part of your oder you will receive the weekly Meander newsletter with stories, ideas and updates - you can opt out at any time.
