A process for applying living systems principles in the design of regenerative projects and communities

Practical information

An immersive program to learn to observe, understand and apply the principles of living systems – both natural and social – in the design of regenerative projects, structures and communities. Each module, inspired by a season of the year, invites us to connect with nature and integrate it as a teacher in our transformative journey.

What does this program include?

  • Accommodation for 12 nights and full board. That’s four weekends, from Thursday to Sunday, over the course of a year.
  • Access to the full program of workshops and activities.
  • Entrance to the Ecocommunity to continue from home.

Observe to regenerate

Living diagnosis and systemic thinking to initiate transformative processes

Autumn

Dates26 - 29 November 2026

PriceFrom 960 €

Making space to see systems with new eyes. We cultivate a systemic perspective to better understand natural and social interactions, and we consciously diagnose what needs regeneration.

Work axes:

  • Patterns of nature as a compass for change: learn to observe natural patterns, cycles and forms to apply them to the design of more resilient human systems.
  • Systemic diagnosis and community mapping: tools to identify flows, roles, nodes and tensions within an ecosystem (ecological or social).
  • Limits as an entry point: understanding that limits (external or internal) can show us where we need to regenerate or transform.
  • Zones, sectors and energy within the system: introduction to design by zones and sectors as a method for organizing spaces and relationships efficiently.
  • Letting go of what doesn’t work: learning to recognize outdated structures and limiting thought patterns to make space for new, regenerative approaches.

What will we work on?

An invitation to observe in depth the natural and social systems that surround us. Through silence, contemplation and systemic analysis, this module will allow us to recognize the essential connections to regenerate spaces, relationships and projects.

Root and structure

Social biomimetics, resilience and regenerative structures

Winter

Dates18 - 21 February 2027

PriceFrom 960 €

When all seems still, the system restructures. We delve into the invisible architecture of living systems to find resilience and purpose in our design.

Work axes:

  • Principles of social biomimetics: drawing inspiration from colonies, networks and ecosystems to build more efficient and resilient structures. Resilience, feedback and interdependence: understanding how ecosystems are kept alive and how to transfer this to communities and organizations.
  • The inner architecture of systems: purpose as the root, connections as the trunk, and actions as the leaves of a living system.
  • Modular and adaptive structures: how to design human systems capable of growing, adapting and regenerating in changing environments.
  • The invisible that sustains life: work on the essential functions and subtle flows of a project (emotions, trust, values…).

What will we work on?

This module invites us to enter the skeleton of systems to understand how they are sustained and regenerated. With a deep and slow look, we will cultivate the discernment to design from the root and sustain processes that generate life.

Co-create from Life

Facilitation practices and living design for interdependent systems

Spring

Dates13 - 16 May 2027

PriceFrom 960 €

When life explodes, creativity becomes a source of design. We open paths of co-creation to regenerate communities and projects inspired by the intelligence of nature.

Work axes:

  • Co-creation and regenerative facilitation: tools to facilitate collaborative processes that put life at the center.
  • Participatory design for the common good: incorporating diverse voices in the design of transformative projects.
  • Zones and sectors as a creative tool: using sectoral design as a tool to transform space and human relationships.
  • Patterns of interaction and collective emergence: activating group creativity from respect for rhythms and collective intelligence.
  • The garden of projects: sowing ideas, prototyping actions and shaping collaborative ecosystems inspired by nature.

What will we work on?

This module is an inner and collective spring. We will put our creative capacity into motion, and we will discover how living design can be born from participatory processes, open and rooted in the reality of people and the territory.

From Design to Living Impact

Cross-cutting application, meaningful projects and celebration of the regenerative path

Summer

Dates15 - 18 July 2027

PriceFrom 960 €

When the system flourishes, it shows itself to the world. We make the invisible visible through concrete actions that link the regenerative vision with real, community impacts.

Work axes:

  • Transversal application of living design principles: how to integrate biomimetics into various sectors (education, agroecology, organizations, social innovation…).
  • Projects as ecosystems: seeing projects as living systems that grow, relate to and transform their environment.
  • The feedback and evolution cycle: receive feedback, celebrate, adjust and continue.
  • Symbiotic relationships and shared impact: building regenerative alliances and community structures inspired by natural symbiosis.
  • Celebration and regenerative commitment: closing a cycle with awareness, gratitude and collective responsibility.

What will we work on?

It’s time to show, share and consolidate. This module will help you integrate everything you’ve learned and translate it into actions with a regenerative impact. You’ll celebrate the fruits you’ve gathered and offer them as seeds for the world.
