Two new short courses on regenerative design — launching next week
Over the last couple of months we’ve been preparing two new online courses introducing regenerative design, and we’re almost ready to launch them. They’re practice-based introductions for engineers (and other humans) who want to understand the language around regenerative design and how to begin to start thinking regeneratively on projects. Next Tuesday these two new…
