Welcome to Regen/Notes

Join us for our Biophilia Camp, and BarCamp in the stunning Italian Dolomites at the end of September.

Full details and registration links are here

As I shared in our Biophilia information session recently, this is truly a wonderful experience. In common with previous years this is far more than just learning about Biophilia and Biophilic Design, although, as you would expect, these are key components. Over the four days, supported by a world-class team of biophilia ‘guides’ you will 

Experience - sensing and connecting with nature  
Energise – your biophilic self 
Connect - with a cohort of biophilia seekers  
Explore - biophilia perspectives 
and
Learn - regenerative application of biophilia / biophilic design

The world-renowned team of biophilic practitioners to guide you through the camp activities, included Richard Piacentini USA, Oliver Heath UK, Martin Brown UK, Cristina Lacher (Italy), Alice Piovan (Italy) and Carlo Battisti (Italy)

Wrapped around the ‘biophilia’ programme we include daily Yoga and mindfulness and time for both group and solo reflections. The ‘campfire’ activities will include storytelling, night star watching and deep ecology exercises such as Joanna Macy’s Council of All Beings. All deepening our sense of relationship with our natural world.

Whilst we will never fully understand our relationship within nature and our place within ecological eco-systems, we can sense that innate relationship, and take from that sensing to improve our approach to the design, construction and management of our built environment. (Martin Brown)

Disconnect : Reconnect 

I am delighted to once again be leading and facilitating the Disconnect: Reconnect session that encourages participants to disconnect from devices and reconnect with nature, with navigation based on how we sense and feel about where we are in nature. And then taking experiences into our designs.

Agile

Unique to our biophilia camp is the opportunity to learn and explore how Agile project management techniques can assist and support the development, management and realisation of biophilic design plans.

Biophilia BarCamp - you are the biophilic Agenda

To be held on Friday 27 September in Bolzano, The Biophilia BarCamp is a first of its kind unconference style one-day in person event gathering biophilic lovers from all over Europe and beyond, focused on bringing together the latest trends, tools, case studies, stories, and best practices around biophilic topics in the fields of architecture, fashion, art, psychology, leadership and many others. Learning from biophilic peers will boost conversations and advance awareness and practice.
