Knowledge Systems Synthesis
Explore different knowledge systems and develop the capacities to contribute across generations.
Knowledge Systems Synthesis combines experiential learning, critical inquiry and different knowledge traditions through two pathways shaped around different stages of adult life.
Knowledge Systems Synthesis
Two pathways for developing the knowledge, experience and skills to contribute across generations
Knowledge Systems Synthesis brings together experiential learning, different knowledge traditions
and regenerative practice through the River System of Human Time.
It focuses on two periods of adult life when questions of direction, contribution and responsibility can take on particular importance.
The two paths meet through mentorship, shared learning, communities of practice and Festival 2100
Younger participants bring energy, emerging knowledge and new questions
Older participants bring accumulated experience, professional and life knowledge, stories and a longer perspective
The Regeneration Steward Path supports young adults aged 19–29 to build regeneration transitions into the direction of their studies, work and adult lives.
The Elderhood Path supports people in later adulthood to deepen their own learning while helping younger generations develop the knowledge, skills and experience they will need.
Regeneration Steward Path
Develop the foundations for a life and career in regeneration transitions
The Regeneration Steward Path is for young adults aged
19–29 who want to explore regeneration as part of their future studies, work and contribution.
Participants learn through an international combination of online learning and direct experience. They develop skills in ecological observation, tracking, communication, cooperation, systems thinking, facilitation and community practice.
Three learning domains
Nature Connection and Earth Regeneration
Ecological awareness, tracking, field skills and living systems.
Prosocial Connection and Community Regeneration
Cooperation, communication, facilitation, governance and community-building.
Universal Connection and Human Regeneration
Knowledge systems, identity, meaning, human development and longer timescales.
Building a Regeneration Career
Participants explore where their own interests and abilities could contribute, from education and ecological restoration to community development, research, food systems, social enterprise and other fields.
The Elderhood Path
Learning across generations
Participants may mentor Regeneration Stewards, contribute professional or practical expertise, and work alongside younger participants.
At the same time, Elderhood Path participants remain learners themselves, encountering new places, knowledge systems, perspectives and questions.
Deepen your learning. Share your experience. Support the generations coming next.
Participants arrive with decades of experience from careers, families, communities, relationships, successes, mistakes, changes and challenges.
The Elderhood Path creates opportunities to bring that accumulated experience into a new period of learning and contribution.
Elderhood is approached as a continuing developmental path, rather than something automatically conferred by age.
Participants deepen skills in connection and regenerative practice while exploring knowledge, judgement, mentorship, storytelling, responsibility and longer perspectives through the River System of Human Time.
The Free Online Introduction Course
Discover the ideas, people, and learning pathways behind Thriving Futures 2100 and Global Care Packs through a short introduction that combines storytelling, practical awareness skills, and a simple experiential activity.
Meet the initiating team, explore the foundations of the narrative and experiential learning paths, and take your first steps into a learning journey focused on thriving and regenerative futures.
Learning Across Landscapes
Thailand and Malaysia
Tropical forests, river systems, Indigenous communities and limestone landscapes provide settings for exploring ecological knowledge, community practice and different knowledge traditions.
Catalonia and Pyrenees
Coastal, river, mountain and rural landscapes provide opportunities to explore Mediterranean ecosystems, communities and changing relationships between people and place.
Pacific Northwest, Canada
Forests, rivers and coastal ecosystems provide settings for exploring ecological relationships, community knowledge and the connections between land, water and human life.
Festival 2100
Where the learning comes together
Festival 2100: Regeneration Economics in Action is a travelling living learning experience that brings the River System of Human Time to life. Schools and other visitors journey through five experiential learning areas, exploring how humans have lived, learned, cooperated and organised their societies and economies, and the regeneration transitions that could shape the future.
Festivals take place in different locations around the world, wherever possible beside a river or within a living landscape. Global Care Packs participants join the Festival as trained mentors, working alongside the core Festival team and local communities to turn learning into shared experience and action.
