The Regenerative Practitioner Series
We offer the Series several times per year to cohorts of 20-30 practitioners in communities around the world. Enrollment is now open (through June 16th) for new cohorts for Americas-, Europe-, and Australia-based practitioners. Start your registration here.
About the series
The Regenerative Practitioner Series is an intensive deep dive for practitioners who are feeling called to take their capability to practice regenerative work to the next level.
Over the course of the six-month program, participants engage deeply with a methodology for regenerative development that has been developed and extensively field-tested by Regenesis over 27 years and hundreds of projects around the world.
The Regenerative Practitioner Series has been evolved and refined over a decade of delivery to 40+ cohorts of practitioners hailing from over 30 countries. Graduates from across a broad diversity of geographies, cultures, and professional disciplines describe the series as an experience that is deeply transformative, and provides a new platform from which to bring transformative processes to your work, your collaborations, and your communities.

It’s time to do the deep work
There is rapidly increasing alignment around the imperative need to bring our human communities back into life-giving alignment with the ecological systems that nourish us. This requires outer development — projects, initiatives, infrastructure and systems change.
The Regenerative Practitioner Series is based on the premise that the critical foundation for this outer development is the inner development of new levels of capacity, consciousness, cultural identity and will, both in ourselves as practitioners and in the communities and systems we work within.
Core to the process of developing a regenerative practice is growing the capacity to work simultaneously on these inner and outer dimensions.
Our understanding of what’s required of ourselves as practitioners and as human beings deepens as this inner work unfolds. For this reason, we do not think of the series as a “training” but rather as a deep dive into a new way of seeing and thinking about our work that provides a new foundation from which to chart one’s own unique developmental path.
How does the series work?
The Regenerative Practitioner Series is an in-depth, six-month course held over Zoom. The course includes ten two-hour dialogue sessions structured around our curriculum of reading material and practice exercises, and culminates in a three-day intensive workshop.
How does the series work?
The Regenerative Practitioner Series is an in-depth, five-month course held over Zoom. The course includes ten two-hour dialogue sessions structured around our curriculum of reading material and practice exercises, and culminates in a three-day intensive workshop.
Sessions
- Sessions are two hours in length, held every other week. For each session, participants will complete a preparatory reading and assignment.
- The sessions themselves combine live instruction with open group dialogue and one-on-one “fishbowl” time, where a single participant works with our instructors to explore a project they are actually working on as a way of bringing strategic frameworks to life for the entire group.
- The sessions are recorded and made available for download, so you can catch up if you miss a session. Participants typically spend between 3 – 5 hours per week preparing for and engaging in the sessions and course assignments while this portion of the course is underway.
- In the off weeks between sessions, you will be encouraged to meet with one another in small study groups to work on grounding the content of the sessions through real-life application and a group assignment.
- Each study cohort receives 4 hours of faculty coaching over the duration of the series.
Intensive
- Depending on your cohort selection, your Intensive may be held either online or in person.
- The Intensive takes place over a long weekend, with sessions lasting all day with a lunch break on Friday – Sunday.
- The Intensive combines dialogue in large and small groups with journaling and reflection exercises.
- The Intensive is followed by a final two-hour zoom session, held approximately two weeks after the weekend workshop.
Have a question about how the course works? Submit it via our inquiry form.
Is this course right for me?
We encourage all prospective TRP participants to engage in your own process of self-identifying as a regenerative practitioner. To support you in that, we’ve developed a list of qualities that can help you assess whether the course would be a good fit for you.
Is this course right for me?
We encourage all prospective TRP participants to engage in your own process of self-identifying as a regenerative practitioner. To support you in that, we’ve developed a list of qualities that regenerative practitioners tend to share, which can help you see whether the course would be a good fit.
To help with this, you might ask yourself whether some or all of these statements apply to you:
- You often see bigger potential than is being realized on the projects you’re involved in but haven’t found a way to help your collaborators and/or clients see and align with that potential.
- You know that sustainability will never accomplish its aims if we can’t change the way we think and work, but you’re not sure how to achieve this.
- Your work is important and meaningful to you, but you still feel the drive to learn and develop along a path so that your work and the essence of “who you are” become further and further integrated.
- You have a track record of delivering results, and yet you continually see possibilities beyond the level that you are currently able to realize.
- You feel a strong desire to be part of a larger community of likeminded practitioners mutually committed to growing and deepening the impact of your work.
If so, you may be a good candidate for the series. If you are considering enrolling in TRP but unsure as to whether the course is right for you, you may request a conversation with a faculty member to mutually assess whether it’s a fit.
What material is covered?
The series is structured around a systemic framework that has been developed and tested over decades of working in communities around the world. The framework integrates four core elements that enable regenerative thinking and working across nested systems.
What material does the series cover?
The series is structured around a systemic framework that has been drawn from and tested through decades of working on regenerative development projects in communities all over the world. The framework integrates four core elements that enable regenerative thinking and working across the nested systems in which we work.
The learning outcomes of the series are as follows:
- A deeper understanding and embodiment of regenerative development principles and how they unfold both in your personal life and in projects and communities
- Greater ability to assess project design and development practices for their regenerative potential
- Greater ability to define how a regenerative approach would apply to various sectors and fields of practice relevant to your work
- Increased capacity to manage complexity as a means to deliver greater value to clients and stakeholders
- A new grounding into the significance of place as a coalescing force for regenerative work, yielding fresh insights and observations into the places in which you live and work.
- New insight into the contribution that your practice can make to the systems in which you work, and the ability to chart your own developmental path towards realizing that contribution
- The support of a growing learning community of peers and colleagues who share your commitment to creating profoundly innovative work in service to a healthier community and world.
- New insights into and discernment around how to grow increasing levels of caring, motivation and spirit in our teams and our projects.

Enrollment is now open for cohorts in Australia (with an online Series Intensive), Europe (with an in-person Intensive in Lisbon, Portugal) and the Americas (with an in-person Intensive in Santa Fe, New Mexico). Information on those cohorts can be found below.
Enrollment Details for 2023 Cohorts
Course Tuition & Scholarships/Subsidies
The tuition for the series varies to reflect the costs associated with the series Intensive in each of our cohorts’ different geographic locations, and typically ranges between $2500-$2750 USD. Tuition is as follows for cohorts currently open for enrollment:
-
- Europe cohort with in-person Intensive at BioVilla in Palmela, Portugal: $2750 USD
- Americas cohort with in-person Intensive in Santa Fe, New Mexico: $2600 USD
- Australia cohort with virtual Intensive: $2500 USD
To enroll, you may either pay the full tuition amount, or pay the first of the six monthly payments. Payment plans include administrative fees. Please note: if you are requesting a scholarship, you will not complete the process of paying your course tuition until your request is approved.
Interested in participating as a group with your colleagues? We’ve seen again and again that learning this work alongside other members of one’s organization powerfully supports participants building the scaffolding for deeper and more effective integration. We offer a group discount of 10% off the tuition price for colleagues or collaborators from the same team and/or organization who sign up together. The discount applies to groups of four or more registrants. Contact Course Administrator Avery Hardy at avery(at)regenerat.es for further information.
If circumstances intervene and you are no longer able to participate after having registered, we are able to offer a full refund of your tuition and/or deposit up until the enrollment deadline. If you need to withdraw after that point, we will retain any deposit/tuition paid as a credit-on-file should you want to participate in a future cohort.
For American Institute of Architects (AIA) members, this course is eligible for 46 CES LUs.
$1000 USD Base Scholarship/Subsidy
We offer $1,000 USD base scholarships/subsidies toward the course tuition to any practitioner who would not be able to participate without financial support. The base scholarship/subsidy application is a one-question sub-section of the enrollment form; to apply for a scholarship/subsidy, simply indicate that you would like to do so when you get to that part of the form. Please note, we approve scholarships/subsidies on a rolling basis, so we strongly encourage applicants who know they would require such support to apply as early as possible in the enrollment window.
Additional Equity-Based Scholarships/Subsidies
If a $1,000 USD scholarship/subsidy is not sufficient to enable your participation, we encourage you to make a request for additional funds during the scholarship/subsidy application process. We are especially committed to using scholarship/subsidy funds to create equity of access to this work and inclusivity within our “community of communities.” We prioritize scholarships/subsidies higher than our $1000 USD base scholarship/subsidy based on alignment with our equity priorities:
- Practitioners who work as community activists and/or organizers serving marginalized populations and/or underfunded communities.
- Practitioners from underrepresented backgrounds, including Indigenous practitioners and practitioners of color.
- Practitioners from countries with low economic purchasing power relative to the US (including countries in Africa and Latin America).
- Practitioners who are coming from a lack of financial stability or security, including those whose financial stability has been affected by current global economic conditions.
Please note that scholarships/subsidies take the form of a reduction in your tuition costs. If you select a cohort that includes an in-person Intensive, you will still be responsible for your personal travel expenses.

Click Here: Australia with Online Intensive
Enrollment Closes June 16th
The Series consists of ten two-hour sessions and a culminating three-day Intensive held virtually over Zoom for a cohort of 20-25 practitioners from around Australia. While sessions are held virtually, practitioners have the potential to connect with others in the course, our Australian Regenerates alumni network, and our Australian host team to coordinate Institute-supported in-person gatherings in service of their ongoing learning journeys together.
The Intensive, which falls between the second-to-last and last sessions of the Series, is an important and profound opportunity for practitioners to dive deeply into this work as a learning community. The Intensive is held over Zoom, to enable participation from practitioners around Australia, and includes a blend of time together as a full cohort of 20-25 practitioners with time in breakout groups and in independent journaling and reflection. We encourage participants who wish to gather in small local and/or regional groups to do so, with our Australian host team providing logistical support to ensure a smooth hybrid online/offline experience.
