Cover Story: A growing body of scholarship recognizes the importance of inner dimensions in transformations to sustainability and their influence on behavior, collective action, and institutions. This review synthesizes research on the inner dimensions of regeneration—a process of rebuilding or renewing an asset, resource, ecosystem, individual, family, organization, community, or place. It enables the expression of nature’s capacity for self-organization and empowers social–ecological systems to revive themselves through positive reinforcing cycles. The review clarifies the characteristics and meanings of regenerative mental models, mindsets, and cultures, outlining how they develop, interact, and scale within broader systems. View this paper
