Regenerative Future Now: Salon Series is a space for exploration around regenerative thinking and to foster creativity as an essential tool for building a regenerative future. In partnership with sustainable textile consultancy, Materevolve, every two weeks we will alternate between a fireside speaker series and a creative studio + social night. The purpose of these events is to incubate conversation and community around topics related to creating more regenerative lifestyles, businesses, and economies.
What is regeneration? It goes beyond sustainability to create living systems and improved ways of relating to each other and the planet, rooted in nature-based design principles. Regeneration carries forward Indigenous ways of life, while defining them in the context of our modern world—a creative process that invites all people to participate.
These events are casual in nature, intimate (max capacity 15), and have the potential to build meaningful and lasting connections around a shared intention.
Special Evening Guest: Lydia Wendt of California Cloth Foundry & Mae
