Resources

Regenesis has been publishing extensively about regenerative development for more than thirty years. If you’d like to dig deeper into self-study around regenerative development, we invite you to engage with the library of resources below. 

The resources on this page represent three decades’ work of pioneering both the theory and the practice of regenerative development through real-world application and collaborative ideation. As our global community of practice evolves from a focus on practitioner education to include collaborative work on place-sourced transformative change, this page will correspondingly expand to include practitioner-generated insights, co-research outputs, and field contributions from our global network. For now, explore the foundational publications and materials that anchor the rapidly evolving field of regenerative development.

Regenerative Development and Design: A Framework for Evolving Sustainability
By Pamela Mang, Ben Haggard and Regenesis

Regenerative Development and Design takes sustainability to the next level, and provides a framework for incorporating regenerative principles into your current process.

In this book, Regenesis Institute faculty members Pamela Mang and Ben Haggard explain what regenerative development is, how and why it works, and how you can incorporate the fundamental principles into your practice.

A clear, focused framework shows you how to merge regenerative concepts with your existing work, backed by numerous examples that guide practical application while illustrating regenerative design and development in action.

Regenerative Development 
Video series by Regenesis and Stormcloud Media

In this five-part video series the founders and principals of Regenesis Group (who later organized to form the Regenesis Institute as a sister organization dedicated to education for regenerative practitioners), articulate some of the key principles and concepts behind the Regenesis approach to regenerative development. 

Regenerative Development and Design: Its origins, essence, practice and potential as a meta-technology to elevate governance, innovation and planetary health
by Leen Gorissen, Karla Bonaldi, Piet Haerens and Lénia Rato 

This study commissioned by the Belgian Federal Public Service for Health, Food Chain Safety and Environment provides an encapsulation of the full breadth and depth of regenerative development as an evolving discipline, including case studies and interviews as well as an important exploration of the Indigenous and land-based cultural roots of regenerative work, a review of current EU policies, and an authoritative glossary.

Beyond these central resources, we’ve also compiled a list of our articles, interviews, videos and lectures that are freely available online.

Bibliography

We have compiled a bibliography of published works that have provided inspiration to us over the years and that, together, offer an introduction to the thinking behind regenerative development as both a concept and an approach. You can download the bibliography as a PDF here.
