About this event
Education shapes how people relate to each other, to place, and to the future. This workshop is for people who want learning spaces to do more than transfer information: it is for those who want education to help communities heal, adapt, collaborate, and regenerate. If you care about how we teach, gather, and grow together, this is a room worth being in. What Is This? The Regenerative Education Workshop | The Regen Circle is an in-person gathering focused on rethinking education through a regenerative lens. Rather than treating learning as a one-way delivery system, this workshop explores how education can become more relational, community-rooted, responsive, and life-giving. Expect a format that blends conversation, reflection, and peer exchange. This is not framed as a passive audience experience. It is designed for people who want to actively engage with ideas, share examples from their own work or community, and leave with a clearer sense of what regenerative education can look like in practice. The event also sits naturally at the intersection of community, networking, meetup, and social connection. That matters because regenerative thinking is rarely built in isolation. It develops through dialogue, trust, experimentation, and the willingness to learn across different roles and perspectives. Whether you come from formal education, informal learning, community organizing, or simply personal curiosity, the workshop creates space to examine what kinds of learning environments help people and systems thrive. What to Expect You can expect a structured but human-centered workshop experience. The emphasis is likely to be on discussion and participation rather than presentation alone, with time to explore both big-picture questions and grounded examples. Across the session, attendees may move through a mix of activities such as: Framing conversations on what “regenerative education” means in real terms Small-group dialogue to surface shared challenges, practices, and possibilities Reflection exercises that connect ideas to your own context or work Peer exchange and networking with others thinking seriously about education and systems change Collective sense-making around what needs to shift in learning spaces, communities, and institutions Because this is part workshop and part community gathering, expect the value to come not just from the content itself but from the quality of the room. Some of the most useful moments in events like this come from hearing how others are approaching similar questions from different angles. You should also expect a thoughtful pace. Workshops on education can easily become abstract; this one is best approached as a space to test language, compare experiences, and identify practical next steps. Come ready to listen closely, contribute honestly, and think with others. Why Attend If you have been looking for more grounded ways to connect education with regeneration, this workshop offers a place to start or deepen that work. It creates room to explore how learning can support stronger communities, healthier systems, and more meaningful forms of participation. You may attend because you are building something new, questioning an inherited model, or trying to bring more coherence to values you already hold. In each case, the benefit is the same: a chance to step out of day-to-day urgency and think more intentionally about what education is for. Attending can help you: Clarify your understanding of regenerative education beyond buzzwords Learn from peers working across community, social, and learning contexts Find language for ideas you have felt but not yet articulated Surface practical insights you can bring back to your own projects, teaching, facilitation, or organizing Build relationships with people who care about similar questions and are serious about exploring them This is also a strong fit if you value conversations that connect vision with practice. The workshop is not only about imagining better futures for education; it is about noticing what conditions, habits, and relationships make those futures possible. Practical Details This event takes place in person, which means the experience is built around live participation, real-time conversation, and being present with others in the room. That setting is especially valuable for a topic like regenerative education, where trust, nuance, and shared reflection matter. The workshop is scheduled for Thursday, May 28 at 1:00 PM EDT. If you plan to attend, aim to treat the time as protected space rather than something to squeeze between other commitments. You will get more from the session if you arrive ready to be fully engaged. A few useful ways to prepare: Bring a current question, challenge, or example from your own learning context Be ready to participate in discussion, not just observe Wear what feels comfortable for an in-person workshop setting Leave room mentally for reflection as well as conversation If you are the kind of person who has been craving a more thoughtful conversation about what education could become, this workshop offers a strong reason to show up. It brings together the social energy of a meetup, the depth of a workshop, and the connective value of a community space centered on regeneration.
