Biomimikry ja bioregionointi käytännössä | Regeneratiivisen suunnittelun paneelikeskustelu

How can biomimicry and bioregioning help us create thriving, regenerative communities? Nature has spent 3.8 billion years evolving the conditions for life to flourish. By learning from living systems and collaborating with the intelligence of local ecosystems, we can design human systems that regenerate both people and planet.

Join biomimicry educator Deborah Benham for an inspiring panel discussion with leading voices in regenerative design and bioregional practice: Joe Brewer (Bioregional Earth), Jess Berliner (Learn Biomimicry), Daniel Christian Wahl (author of Designing Regenerative Cultures), and Asha Singhal (The Biomimicry Institute).

Together, they explore how biomimicry, regenerative design, systems thinking, and place-based action can support communities in responding to today’s ecological and social challenges while cultivating resilient futures.

Speakers

• Joe Brewer – Founder of Earth Regenerators and co-founder of the Design School for Regenerating Earth. Joe works at the intersection of regenerative design, complexity science, and bioregional regeneration, helping catalyze landscape-scale restoration efforts in Colombia’s Northern Andes.
• Jess Berliner – Co-founder and Director of Product at Learn Biomimicry. A biomimicry educator and designer, Jess has spent more than a decade helping organizations, universities, and practitioners apply nature’s principles to innovation and sustainable design.
• Asha Singhal – Communications Manager for the Design for Transformation project at The Biomimicry Institute. A biomimicry practitioner, architect, and designer, Asha combines biology, storytelling, architecture, and systems thinking to create regenerative futures and shift cultural narratives.
• Daniel Christian Wahl – Internationally recognized author of Designing Regenerative Cultures, educator, and consultant. Daniel’s work has helped shape the fields of regenerative design, salutogenic design, and whole-systems transformation through collaborations with governments, NGOs, businesses, and communities worldwide.
• Deborah Benham – Co-Lead Link of Transition Network International and biomimicry educator. Deborah supports regenerative design initiatives, Transition Movement strategy, and living systems approaches that strengthen community resilience and ecological regeneration.

This conversation is ideal for practitioners, educators, designers, community organizers, and anyone interested in biomimicry, regenerative development, systems thinking, and creating resilient, place-based futures.
