What You'll Learn
How might an adaptable design approach, rooted in how life actually works, help energize you and your team - and bring your most important priority to life this year?
There's a greater need than ever to consider new ways of working, in response to the constant risk of global disruption, ongoing shifts in supply chains, the economy, and in our own workforce, and a never-ending array of new and growing pressures. As change-makers, we have a tremendous and urgent opportunity to reimagine our approach to operational design and management —so that whatever may come, our team can be responsive, adaptive and resilient in our decision making.
In the Design Lab, you will learn and apply the With Life Approach, which holds the patterns of living systems at its foundation, and the Living Systems Framework for regenerative design - to your most important priorities so that you and your team can unleash new–and healthy–potential.

What Design Lab Graduates Are Saying:
nRhytm’s Design Lab was instrumental in helping us to design All1.eco, a collaborative funding portal to support initially funding regeneration for the Pan-American Amazon ecosystem.
The Design Lab was an experience I would recommend to anyone who not only wants the tools for designing a project, organization, or holistic life around regeneration, but who also wants to be inspired by others seeking a similar emergent and regenerative path. All the tools, peers, and guidance from the nRhythm staff was beyond exceptional, and I can only say amazing things about the entire process. Thank you to all my peers and to those at nRhythm. Standing ovation!
The Design Lab created the space to take both a macro and micro look into how I design my Regenerative Framework. It was incredibly valuable to take the time to develop my holistic context, and I was surprised by the growth that happened during the 6 week lab. It was wonderful to connect with an international community, from various contexts and sectors, coming together to develop regenerative systems within our organizations.
The Design Lab is a journey and cohort that all growth seeking leaders should have the opportunity to experience. Participating in the Design Lab helped me and my team to have the conversations, do the deep work and design the type of organizational context that we never would have imagined without it. Transformational!
The Design Lab is the most impactful course I have taken all year! Highly recommend -- and definitely bring a friend. This completely restructured my organization and our impact.
Soil Centric's team really needed this class. We had a clear sense of our work, but not of our organizational design. You guys are brilliant and I wish more organizations could benefit from regenerative design principles.

With a regenerative approach, the possibilities are endless
The With Life Approach holds the patterns of living systems at its foundation and provides frameworks and tools to guide you towards a new way of thinking around your organizations, environment, communities, and social systems so that our outcomes are flexible and responsive to our complex lives.
In contrast, rigid, mechanistic-based approaches that dominate today and do not acknowledge the fact that we are living, breathing human beings, operating in a complex and ever-changing world, who adapt, evolve, and change over time.
Whatever you endeavor to do in the world, in the Regenerative Design Lab, you will learn to apply and trust an equitable, collaborative, living systems and regenerative approach to how we design and manage our work, economies, businesses, policies, communities, and more.
