What is Civic Biodesign?
Civic Biodesign is an approach to facilitate and translate the future while making sense of the current confusing space we find ourselves in.
Join a global community.
Join a global community of ordinary humans deploying whole-system, regenerative practices in embedded community contexts.
It’s time for a new type of leader.
The systems are failing. Top-down specialized leadership isn’t working anymore. The world is too complex. Honestly, it always has been. It’s time we met those complexities with appreciative curiosity and a new set of tools.

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
— Albert Einstein
