Regenerative Thinking for Professionals and Designers

Overview

Are you feeling the weight addressing the climate crisis amidst political unrest?

Are you seeking a new approach to workplace conversations around polarizing issues like ecological degradation vs. economic stability?

Are you seeking a value-aligned community of peers who echo your concerns and want to do something about it?

Regenerative Thinking for Professionals and Designers Is an innovative workshops series that has been developed specifically for engineers, designers, planners, consultants, educators, scientists, managers, and leaders seeking to navigate climate complexity, revolutionize the way they approach systems change, and integrate regenerative design principles into the fabric of their work.

What Makes This Workshop Series Different?

This isn’t a crash course in carbon accounting, ESG strategy, or sustainability metrics. It’s an invitation to go deeper than ‘corporate sustainability’. It’s an invitation to find empowerment in moving away from colonial decision-making models that are perpetuating ‘solutions’ that are founded in the same ways of thinking that put us here to begin with. It’s an invitation to sit with discomfort, ask braver questions, and cultivate the inner clarity needed for outer change.

We will seek to answer the questions:

• What’s our role in shaping a regenerative corporate paradigm?
• What language, tools, and context is missing from the current ways we are attempting to ‘solve’ climate change.
• How do we bridge increasingly polarized workplace conversations about our collective future?

Professional Value

This 3-part workshop intensive weaves together climate psychology, regenerative thinking, environmental ethics, and deep ecology in an innovative flow that will leave participants with:

• Professional development hours relevant to design, ethics, and mental well-being
• Tools for integrating intuitive insight into strategic or technical decisions
• Techniques for managing eco-anxiety and burnout in high-pressure workplaces
• Dialogue skills for bridging polarization and fostering collaboration
• Personalized strategies for embedding regenerative thinking into your role, team, or organization
