ReGEN-Nations is a 6-month learning journey and regenerative design lab using whole systems thinking to design solutions for social, cultural, economic, and ecological resilience and regeneration. Coming from a region that is particularly vulnerable to the climate crisis coupled with challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we aim to accompany participants in exploring ways that heal and restore our selves, our communities and our natural environment.
