We educate creative professionals to become life-centered and regenerative in the work they love, by empowering them to shift from human to life-centered design so that they can create positive impacts for nature, communities, and organizations.
Founded in 2022, our mission is to promote a new design mindset and skill set that prioritizes nature and underrepresented communities alongside traditional stakeholders in the design process.
Values
Nature is our partner.
Immersing ourselves in nature and our communities makes us feel at home and connected. We recognize that we are part of nature and, therefore, should not harm it.
Ambiguous minds.
Ambiguity is in our hearts and souls. Only by being open to the views of nature and other minds can we truly see what is moving the planet forward.
Design needs pluriversity.
The school is home to all who want to practice Life-Centered Design. We are a pluriverse community of creatives founded on the ancient and new wisdom of cultures worldwide.
Together, we grow!
The school is ever-evolving. We never stop learning and growing. We will always be emergent, as is nature and our human nature.
Non-efficient by choice.
We have an experiment-first approach to discovering new ways of living harmlessly with nature and each other. We follow the path of the river.
