Projects
Overview

  • The ReBe app utilises technology in novel ways to encourage us into engaging relationships with the ecology we are a part of. It does this through time, space, and place-based creative prompts that ultimately lead us away from our screens. More info here.

  • The Corra Woods Centre for Relational Restoration (also the IRB HQ) is set among a thriving woodland in County Clare on the west coast of Ireland. More info here.

  • The IRB Fellowship provides an alternative path for fellows to embark on. This pathway is closely aligned with the principles of relationality, ecological awareness and holistic well-being. Fellows undertake this journey in collaboration with their multi-species ecological community. More info here.

  • A crucial missing aspect of environmental law is the perspective that nature is not an object. IRB is working to support organizations, communities and individuals who are actively working with the rights of nature and would like to bring more-than-human awareness into juridical discourse. More information coming soon.

  • While IRB supports alternatives to business as usual, we recognize that existing organizational structures require support for changes to happen from within. We’re doing this by providing a framework for a Relational Resource Department to exist alongside the traditional Human Resource Department. More information coming soon.

  • Regenerative, Relational, Ecological Governance & Emergence Networking

    While the Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) framework has been helpful in some ways to transform our extractive policies and practices, we’re hoping to create less abstract forms of accountability in how business is done. We also see that while there is a level of governance that can be involved, ultimately, when we work collaboratively with our more-than-human companions, space opens up for emergence and networking with the rest of nature. More information coming soon.

  • Along with your support, we're helping to regenerate bioregions on the ground by allocating financial and other resources to local communities. More information coming soon.

  • More information coming soon.

The dominant storylines of modernity frames humans as a ‘consumer’ society. This inherently places us in a deep crisis of relationship, devoid of meaningful reciprocity with the rest of nature. IRB aims to restore consciously connected ways of living by instituting relational practices.

What does it mean to institute relationality?

It means to make healthy, generative relationships with human and more-than-human systems a considered part of our lives through collective practices, technologies, governance, and discourse. 

Each of our projects focuses on different aspects of making restorative relationality a recognized part of society.
