6-week Regenerative Leadership Foundations Course
The foundation for your regenerative practice
August 26 – September 25 2026
+ follow-up in November
The essence of this course
This is for people looking to explore regenerative leadership in an intense 6-week container with a mixture of teaching, reflecting, exercises, mentorship and exploring in smaller dedicated groups.
Sign up before August 25
We gather online twice a week from August 26th to September 25th to initiate ourselves in regenerative practice and wisdom, exploring regenerative pathways to real-life challenges and learning from fellow regenerative practitioners. In November we meet again for two sessions taking stock and checking in.
The focus is on peer-to-peer learning, exploring, experimenting, learning and unlearning together. We value designing sessions that feel like a nourishing waterhole that can equally challenge, recharge and guide you on your regenerative path.
We invite you to join a unique, vibrant, life-affirming and safely held course designed to initiate you into regenerative practice, wisdom, capacities, leadership and community.
This course is for you if you want to:
Explore, embrace and embody regenerative leadership principles in your daily work and life alongside others committed to rolling up their sleeves and start activating the needed regenerative shifts and ripple effects.
Learn how to use Regenerative Business and Leadership self-evaluation tools to enable shifts in organizations, start-ups or teams.
Strengthen and expand your international network of regenerative change-activators from all walks of life on a similar regenerative journey of unlearning and learning.
Embody and integrate regenerative and cyclical ways of being with a clear understanding of the shifts needed in consciousness, approach and actions.
This course may not be for you if you're expecting...
Polished 10-step frameworks or a quick-fix guides to implement and execute. Spoiler alert: There are no one-size-fits-all models or quick-fixes when working in regenerative ways.
Being spoon-fed and served sound-bites on a silver-platter. An integral part of this course is about commitment to a new way of being, doing, leading. It asks each of us to show up fully and take responsibility for our personal learning journeys.
1:1 coaching and counselling. If you are going through a period of deep personal healing, we strongly recommend combining the course with working one to one with a qualified therapist or coach - we have a rich network of regenerative coaches we can recommend.
Regenerative means to replenish, heal, and revitalize.
Nature is inherently regenerative.
Right now our leadership and societal design needs to mimic living systems – the Wisdom of Life itself - if we want to thrive on this planet.
What the 6-week Regenerative Leadership Foundations Course includes
The course is a combination of an extensive pre-recorded foundational course in Regenerative Leadership, a virtual global community and 12 stimulating co-created Live Mentorship Sessions.
As the course is deliberately designed to allow for natural emergence to happen, you will gain much more than what can be put into words at this stage. That said, here are some of the things we can guarantee you:
-
A unique community of dedicated trailblazers
We travel together for six intense weeks alongside other global regenerative trailblazers. We reflect, share and dive deep together in smaller groups to nourish deeper connections.
You also become part of the Regenerators Alumni Community that self-organizes locally and physically. -
Pre-recorded modules and workbook
The pre-recorded modules will take you through all the main concepts and frameworks of Regenerative Leadership for you to explore in your own space and time. We then dive deeper into the content in our Live Mentorship Sessions.
The course platform includes recorded sessions, slide-packs and a workbook designed to create space for deeper contemplation and application. You get immediate access to this when you sign up. -
12 live mentorship sessions
We'll gather two times weekly for Live Mentorship Sessions where we challenge ourselves and fellow students from around the world to take our practice to the next level.
We value designing sessions that feels like a nourishing waterhole that can equally challenge, recharge and guide you on your regenerative path. All live sessions are recorded and can be accessed at any time.
-
Your own Home Circle
If you want ongoing, dedicated peer support in between the Live Mentoring Sessions, we’ll match you with a Home Circle: a small group of committed participants to share with and dive deeper along the course and beyond.
-
Follow-up 2 months after
Two months after completing the first five weeks, we reunite to reflect, share challenges and breakthroughs, and re-anchor in our regenerative paths.
-
Living library of resources
Stimulating videos, podcasts, books, articles, films and research to help inspire and deepen your awareness, wisdom and practise. The library is open source for all our Regenerators Academy alumni.
Is this course for traditional leaders only?
No, to us Regenerative Leadership is for all committed to creating conditions conducive for life wherever they are.
This course is for all who are here to foster new ways to address our current challenges with the necessary courage to go where previous leadership frameworks haven’t been able to take us so far.
We need all of us
For a regenerative transition to happen we urgently need people from all walks of life embodying and practicing Regenerative Leadership.
We warmly welcome everyone committed to activating regenerative potential in their circles of influence. These are the types of people we most often attract:
-
…who understand that a regenerative business approach is the only way to move forward, build resiliency, and future-proof their organization.
-
…who are deeply passionate about sowing the seeds of inner transformation in their organizations, and long for a community to learn from, grow with, and be inspired by in terms of where to start and how to hold momentum.
-
…who want to complement their toolbox with an understanding of regenerative practice and frameworks.
-
…who want to include a regenerative approach in their work and offerings to take their clients to the much-needed next level.
-
…who see the importance of ensuring NGOs are geared for the 21st-century landscape and not lost in bureaucracy and rigidity.
-
…who understand their important role in transforming their organizations towards healthy, vibrant, living systems.
-
…who understand that the legacy they leave is one where they have equipped their students to navigate the complexities of the modern world, and to redesign it towards regeneration.
-
…who want to be in service to their communities by embedding regenerative principles in policy and planning, guiding more resilient and life-affirming public decisions.
-
…who are curious to explore how regenerative frameworks and approaches could improve their work in the field of urban regenerative design.
-
…who want to up-level their organizational approaches and frameworks into a mindset geared for the 21st century.
-
…who feel their education isn’t preparing them to work or lead in the regenerative era.

The structure and flow of the course
We travel together for five weeks (+ one follow up week) in a rhythm with two weekly Live Mentorship Sessions: Insights and Emergence. Besides this, the pre-recorded modules provide you with the foundational Regenerative Leadership wisdom to explore at your own pace.
This dynamic of structured learning and open reflection offers both nourishment and momentum, grounding your journey in knowledge and connection. All sessions are recorded and accessible for later viewing.
INSIGHT LIVE SESSIONS are 2-hour sessions dedicated to exploring some of the theoretical foundations of Regenerative Leadership - frameworks, and real-world cases that will expand your understanding and deepen your practice. These sessions offer grounded theory and practical resources to accompany you on your journey.
EMERGENCE LIVE SESSIONS are 1-hour sessions that create space for informal, heart-centered sharing practicing holding space for emergence. We come together to reflect, hold what’s alive, ask questions, and learn from one another in a more fluid, emergent way.
PRE-RECORDED MODULES available on the platform take you through all the main concepts and frameworks of Regenerative Leadership and work as a foundation that each week’s Live Mentorship Sessions build and expand on.

Week by week breakdown
-
Week 1: What is Regenerative Leadership and what is my role in a regenerative transition?
We begin by exploring the urgent need for Regenerative Leadership in today’s world. This week offers a big-picture view of the landscapes we are navigating (ecological, social, and organizational) and invites you to reflect on your own role in stewarding transition.
What does it mean to lead in service of life? What’s being asked of you at this moment in time? -
Week 2: How is the Story of Separation showing up in my life and my work?
This week takes us deeper, as we explore the root cause beneath today’s metacrisis: the Story of Separation. We look at how this narrative has shaped our inner and outer worlds, how it shows up in our ways of thinking, relating, and organizing.
Together, we begin the process of unlearning, loosening the grip of outdated paradigms, and making space for more life-affirming patterns to emerge. -
Week 3: Learning from Living Systems and becoming an ecosystem facilitator
Living systems understand how to evolve, collaborate, design and transform waste into new life and potential - they are inherently regenerative. This week, we turn toward living systems to learn how life designs for vitality, adaptability, and interconnection. We explore patterns in nature and how to translate them into leadership, organizational design, and your personal life.
The week also deepens your understanding of your role as an Ecosystem Facilitator - a gardener who nurtures the conditions for life to thrive. -
Week 4: The essence of Regenerative business and organizations – frameworks to help you on your journey
We now ground our learning in practical application. Drawing from the Regenerative DNA framework, we explore how to build businesses and organizations that are not only sustainable but truly life-affirming.
This is a rich and structured week, offering concrete tools and guidance to help you begin integrating regenerative principles into your own work and context. -
Week 5: Capacities and leadership qualities to nurture
Regeneration is not only something we do, it’s a way of being. In this final week of content, we turn inward and explore the inner capacities needed to sustain regenerative leadership: presence, humility, courage, deep listening, and relational awareness.
This is a space for reflecting around our unique role, essence and contribution. Grounding and integrating before stepping back into the world. -
Week 6: Check-in again and revisit our role and challenges
Two months after we complete the core journey, we gather again. These two final sessions offers space to reconnect, reflect on your evolving practice, share challenges and breakthroughs, and revisit your role as a regenerative leader.
A chance to pause, reconnect, resource ourselves, and re-anchor for what’s ahead on your unique regenerative journey.
This is not a regular course.
This is a transformative experience and powerful held community dedicated to activate regeneration
This course is a space for those dedicated to unlearn, explore, practice, embody, experiment and rolling up their sleeves to contribute to life-affirming ways on this planet.
We gather because the time of the lone wolf is over and we need each other to deepen our practice and activate the courage to continue blazing new life-affirming trails.

Questions You May Have
-
Our Insights sessions are designed around the theme of the week, to go deeper into frameworks, material, theories, etc. Emergence sessions also focus on the theme of the week and offer an unstructured space to come together, reflect, and integrate in community.
Insights and Emergence sessions are recorded and uploaded to the Academy platform, so if you can’t attend, you can catch up later. Breakout rooms, however, remain private and are not recorded. -
This course is designed with the intention of tapping into the alchemy of structure and emergence during five weeks. Some elements are fixed, such as the pre-recorded modules of the self-paced Regenerative Leadership foundational course; the known pieces of the puzzle that you can engage with at your own pace via the Academy platform. You will get access to the platform the moment you sign up for the course. In the live sessions, we dive deep, share lessons learned, and reflect on the content pillars. Laura Storm will be the space holder to guide and deeply sense into where we need to go next together as a collective.
-
During the live sessions, there will be breakout rooms where you can connect with fellow participants. Once you sign up, you’ll have access to both the Academy and the Community platform, where you can discuss, share, and connect with the community, either through the open channel or via direct messaging.
-
We have our first live Insights session on May 20 and first Emergence session on May 22. We will gather twice a week over five weeks, until the last Insights session on June 17 and last Emergence session on June 19. Insights sessions run during two hours and Emergence session during one hour.
How much time to allocate depends on how deep you want to take your practice. Going through all the pre-recorded modules on the Academy platform (which we highly recommend) totals around 15 hours of video content, plus suggestions for deeper exploration and exercises.We invite you to see the offerings of the course as a rich buffet; you can receive what you need at any given moment, take a break, and come back when you're ready. No stress, no exams, no grades. You can shake off the pressure of performing like a “good student”. Some participants find the live sessions and community engagement most valuable and may not watch all the pre-recorded modules. And that’s perfectly fine. You can always revisit any module referenced in the live sessions whenever you like, and if you miss an Insights or Emergence session, the recordings will be available on the Academy platform shortly after.

Yes, we offer the possibility to apply for a scholarship, mainly open to applicants of the Global South / Global Majority. Find the information and the link above on the page to submit your scholarship application.

We hear you! We do our best to bring the course to life beyond your screen, nurturing experiences that honour your bodies, attention, the need for rest, and energizing moments. Our live sessions integrate embodiment and deep connection; these are NOT two hours of listening to a lecture! While listening in, you can go for a walk, move around, rest while lying down – whatever your body and self need. Many of our sessions offer interaction and exercises to participate in, if that feels good for you in the moment. We also offer suggestions for practices and embodiment in-between sessions. What's more, the wider Regenerators community self-organizes in-person gatherings that provide opportunities for alumni and current participants to connect, collaborate, and practice their regenerative leadership skills together.
-
All content, communications, and the main language spoken in live sessions is English, as it allows the best connection and integration within our global community. We recommend you check with yourself whether English might be a big barrier for you to get the most out of this experience. To support integration, all pre-recorded modules on the Academy platform include captions and detailed transcripts. Live session recordings also offer English auto-generated captions that you can activate while watching.
That said, we have a diverse community, and many participants and space holders are fluent in other languages, so some interactions in smaller groups or 1:1 conversations may happen in a language you feel more comfortable with. You can also connect with other members in our self-organized groups, many of which are region- or language-based.
-
Since a central part of embodying regenerative consciousness is the awareness that no one can be certified in it... We deliberately don't offer certificates. But we do offer an “un-certificate” at the end of the course. This is a document you can share that shows you have attended the 5-week Regenerative Resilience course, but it’s not a certification or proof that you have now become a Regenerative Resilience expert. We understand that the process of becoming one is an ongoing life-long journey, and we are all in it.
