Reconnecting humankind to the power of nature
Regenerative Futures
Take agency of your attention, question existing belief systems, and embark on a transformative journey of cultural and social change as we explore the regenerative futures that await us. This unique lab group is designed to ignite a paradigm shift by blending the arts, culture, and social consciousness with regenerative principles.
who we are
We are cultural alchemists who reimagine a regenerative world where cultural diversity thrives, social equity prevails, and the environment flourishes. Join us in reshaping the narrative of sustainability to help create a regenerative world where the environment is restored and communities thrive to create a world that is more future-fit.
let's redefine our relationship with the systems we live in
In the regenerative lab, we are…
✨ Unearthing Agency
We believe in agency for everyone. We are dedicated to creating a co-creative learning culture, fostering an environment where every voice is not only heard but also valued.
✨ Improving our Relationship with the System
We are dedicated in re-examining our modern world of materialistic and reductionist thinking by improving our relationships, thinking of our systems that we live in wholes rather than parts, viewing the world as interrelated.
✨ Questioning Our Cultural Biases
Through engaging and participatory experiences, we challenge existing cultural biases by examining how we can shift our relationship with the system through embodiment, mind, and heart to create reconnection to our environment.
✨ Opening up Ourselves up to our Surroundings
We have the courage to choose to be different by becoming powerful observers of both self and our ecosystems to re-examine how we look at things.
✨ Excavating Knowledge to create new Approaches
We harness the collective knowledge of our working groups. Our explorations cover a broad range of topics related to the regenerative movement. We tackle topics such as food and agriculture, urbanization, climate disruption, energy, conservation, waste, the natural world, AI, technology, and more.
FAQs
-
The Regenerative Lab Group is a completely inclusive space. Anyone who is passionate about learning and improving our relationship with the environment is welcome to join. Our focus is on creating a diverse and inclusive environment that encourages open dialogue and collaboration.
-
Absolutely! We understand that some individuals may prefer to join the Zoom just to listen and absorb the discussions without actively participating in every session. Your presence and willingness to engage with the topics are valuable contributions to the collective learning experience.

We use a few digital tools for our Lab groups!
1. Our Digital Community
This private community is a place for all members to asynchronously interact and share. Here, you'll find a feed where you can share thoughts, questions, articles, or even longer-form ideas. This is also where you can keep track of and RSVP for future virtual live Lab sessions.
2. Zoom
While someday we hope to have all our members gather IRL for a Lab Group event, we gather for our regular sessions on Zoom. Many members are on-camera and speaking during sessions, but some members choose to participate off-camera, by Zoom chat, or even listening on mute.
3. Digital Whiteboard
When we collaborate and co-create as a group, we generally use Miro. Our work is open-source and transparent, so we hope you explore it!
-
No, you don't have to commit to attending every session. We encourage an open and flexible approach. Feel free to join the Lab sessions that align with your attention and availability. This is a space where you can come and go as you please, contributing your insights whenever you're present. RSVP to whatever lab sessions you can make here so we know how many to expect, but there are no commitment requirements.
-
Our Mind Palaces are a way for us to enter the space in a thoughtful yet engaging way. From playful brainstorms about magazine headlines for Women@Work to a dissection of our understanding of words like "power," "natural," and "bravery," the Mind Palaces put us in the right headspace to connect and explore together.
Community Updates
This is a section of the Lab time that is open to all - if anybody has anything they'd like to bring up to the group, or if community organizers have any announcements or upcoming schedule changes, this is when they will do it.
Rabbit holes
This is the exciting part of the group discussion! Here, we'll explore any of a wide range of topics, including agency, parenthood, societal expectations for women, the history and status quo of womanhood, feminism, women's health, finances, DEIB, LGBTQIA+ rights, agism, and more. Our goal is to explore diverse perspectives and challenge existing norms in the workplace.
This is also where some members may "show and tell" thoughts, work, or relevant observations - this sparks invaluable conversation and it is absolutely encouraged!
Ending Mind Palace
To wrap things up, we usually end with a simple Mind Palace that leaves us with hope. Often, it's a question about what members feel most grateful for leaving the session.
-
Join our digital community! Once there, you'll have access to all of the conversations and articles that members share, as well as the dates, times, and RSVP links for future virtual live Lab sessions and Liminal Space sessions.
