Systems Change & the Next Economy

Regenerative Design for People and the Planet

June - September 2018

Join us for a series of four weekend workshops exploring economics for a thriving, just, and regenerative world. The four workshops, which can be taken as individual workshops or as an entire course series, bring together instructors from a variety of backgrounds, each critically examining aspects of our economic, financial, and money systems and offering inspiring alternative models, systems, and examples. 

Each workshop takes place over the course of one weekend in Santa Cruz County. Additional details sent upon registration. Please contact us if you have any questions.
