Living Learning Experiences

Thriving Futures 2100: The Experience
How do people and communities create thriving futures?
Thriving Futures 2100: The Experience is an immersive learning event that combines storytelling, nature connection, community practice, experiential education, and regenerative problem solving.
Drawing from the Connect and Thrive framework, participants explore:
• The seven source-evolved human capacities
• The seven thresholds of disconnection
• Regenerative approaches to housing, food, water, energy, and community
• Nature connection, prosocial cooperation, and meaning-making
Through games, stories, celebrations, challenges, workshops, tracking activities, music, and shared inquiry, participants experience these ideas directly.

Regeneration Transition in Action
Thriving Futures 2100 Living Learning Events are temporary, place-based educational experiences established along river systems around the world.
Prepared by participants in our Global Care Packs programs,
they are locally focused, bioregionally relevant, and globally connected.
-
Designed for schools, universities, families, and community groups, participants can spend one to ten days exploring regeneration transitions through hands-on, multi-sensory learning experiences, practical workshops, guided exploration, demonstrations, and collaborative projects. Regeneration Steward programs of 10 day and 10 weeks design and prepare these events.
-
Together, these learning experiences create opportunities to build practical skills, develop meaningful relationships with place and community, and participate directly in regeneration processes. Through shared exploration and place-based learning, participants discover practical pathways toward thriving futures for people, communities, and the living world.
-
Participants spend their days learning within forests, rivers, mountains, coastal regions, and rural communities while working in small interdisciplinary groups of educators, mentors, and learners exploring new possibilities for education and community life. Alongside workshops and field activities, the residencies create space for conversation, reflection, shared meals, movement, creativity, and direct experience within some of the most ecologically and culturally rich landscapes in Canada, Spain, and France.
Developed through twenty-five years of international educational field practice and research, the programs introduce practical frameworks that integrate experiential learning, ecological literacy, systems thinking, cooperation, and reflective inquiry across disciplines and age groups.
Participants explore three interconnected learning domains:
-
Nature Connection and Earth Regeneration
-
Prosocial Connection and Community Regeneration
-
Universal Connection and Human Regeneration
Through direct field experience, collaborative learning, ecological observation, narrative inquiry, mentorship, and curriculum mapping, participants develop practical methods for:
-
connecting knowledge across disciplines
-
strengthening attention and observation
-
building cooperation and communication skills
-
engaging complexity and uncertainty constructively
-
developing long-term perspective and agency
-
reconnecting analytical and experiential learning
