Regenerative Design

Regenerative Design

Regenerative Design is a process-oriented systems thinking approach that is intended to create vibrant ecologies and exuberant cultures that continue to generate a surplus of fertility and vitality. The process is based on the concepts of Agile development & Retrospectives from the software engineering, the Haudenosaunee-derived Peacemaker Principles, Nonviolent Communication, and the art of Mentoring. The Universe-based systems thinking perspective is provided by Permaculture Design and Ecological Building.

Whereas the highest aim of sustainable development is to continue growth without harm, the end-goal of Regenerative Design is to redevelop systems with greater-than absolute efficiency, that consistently create an overabundance to allow for the co-evolution of the human species amongst other thriving species.
