Three-month intensive course on regenerative patterns and principles in the practice of finance. The course explored what genuine financial system transformation looks and feels like, inspired by the science of living systems. Three fundamental questions were considered:
1. What is the purpose of finance and how has finance failed to serve that purpose?

The course explored what genuine financial system transformation looks and feels like, inspired by the science of living systems. Three fundamental questions were considered:
1. What is the purpose of finance and how has finance failed to serve that purpose?
2. What would finance look like if it were to operate in service of healthy human communities while preserving rather than destroying the long-term health of the planet in the process?
3. What would serious financial reform look like that would harness the power of finance to drive the essential transformation to regenerative economies, unlocking infinite potential in the process? -

All institutions that make up our economy – from multinational corporations to central banks to state actors – must operate for the benefit of people and planet. From this vantage point, these institutions no longer function as isolated entities but as interdependent nodes in one interconnected system.

This course lays out principles and practices of deep transformation for the individual, for community, and for society at large. It offers participants a deep but accessible guided exploration of an alternative life-affirming worldview based on the intersection of modern science and the world’s great wisdom traditions, along with an inspiring and practical vision of pathways that could lead to an ecological civilization. The only way we can truly change our trajectory is by approaching society’s problems from the foundation of an alternative worldview—one that affirms life, rather than the accumulation of wealth above all else. This worldview already exists: it is one of deep interconnectedness, which integrates the findings of modern systems thinking, evolutionary biology, and cognitive neuroscience with insights from Buddhism, Taoism, and Indigenous knowledge.
