Soil Health, Human Health, & Planetary Well-Being

Pathways for Regenerative Economies

Special Guests: Christa Barfield, Zuzanna Zielinska
Co-Hosts: Antoinette Klatzky, Otto Scharmer | Social Artist: Kelvy Bird

The future we long for may be closer than we think. What becomes possible when we recognize the living connections between the soil beneath our feet, the food that nourishes us, and the health of our communities? This session weaves together stories of innovation, intimate breakout conversations, and collective harvest to explore the living connections between regenerative agriculture, human health, and financial systems. In carefully held space with a global community, we'll sense into where new economic models are revealed when we honor the relationship between land and people.

Reclaiming Human Agency 

Navigating AI, Social Fracture, and Polarization

Special Guest: Nipun Mehta,  Tristan Harris 
Co-Hosts: Antoinette Klatzky, Otto Scharmer | Social Artists:  Manish Srivastava, Kelvy Bird

Change is happening really fast. How do we reclaim our capacity to sense, know, and act amid forces designed to fragment our attention and polarize our communities? This session brings together ethical AI innovators, experts in embodiment and collective sense-making, and practitioners navigating the economies of attention. Through story, embodied practice, and dialogue, we'll explore possibilities to transform our relationship to technology and reclaim our full human capacity for knowing.

Regenerative Futures Lab I - Cultivating Shared Awareness

Open Space Dialogue for Co-sensing Emerging Futures

What conversations are calling to you? Through Open Space Dialogue, this facilitated workshop invites us as a global community into collective generative space to surface what matters most. What challenges, concerns, or aspirations are you carrying? What future do you sense is possible? We'll practice deeper qualities of listening and generative dialogue  to sense underlying structures together and to surface emerging possibilities. What new connections, insights, or collaborations might reveal themselves in this space?

Connecting to Source

Accessing Deeper Knowing

Co-Hosts: Antoinette Klatzky, Otto Scharmer | Social Artists: Arawana Hayashi, Manish Srivastava, Kelvy Bird

This session offers a planetary moment to pause, connect to heart and Source, and be in presence with the whole of our reality—the challenges we face and the future we sense is possible. In times of uncertainty, how do we access the deeper layers of knowing and awareness available to each of us? Through embodiment, stillness, and shared presence, we'll explore the immense resource that lives within. This is an invitation to feel ourselves as part of a global community carrying rooted intention to bring the future we long for into being—connected to source, to each other, and to the earth that holds us all.

Regenerative Futures Lab II: Prototyping Workshop 

Moving Ideas into Action

How do we move from inspiration to action? This lab creates space to surface, share, and workshop an initiative or prototype idea you're carrying. Using processes refined through years of practice and experience at the Presencing Institute, you'll receive practical feedback from colleagues in small groups while offering your own insights and resonances to nurture their emerging ideas in return. Whether you're refining work you've been developing for seasons or exploring a new inspiration born during this series, we'll collectively tend to these seeds of the emerging future—identifying next actionable steps and supporting each other as ideas begin to sprout.  It takes a village.

Regenerative Futures Lab III: A Festival of Prototypes 

Transforming Local and Global Systems

This culminating session of the Series will showcase a wide range of prototypes from around the world being developed for systems change. Prototypes developed through the U-process will be invited to present, receive feedback, and potentially connect with collaborators and resources. Whether you're presenting a prototype idea or simply wanting to explore what others have been cultivating, you're invited to join us in this garden of emerging possibilities and celebrate the seeds and shoots of the regenerative future that are already taking root. Applications to present will open May 21st.
