Intro Course to Regenerative Design
Regenerative design means projects that leave places healthier than they found them — a restored watershed, a community-owned bakery, a school that teaches living systems.
A short, self-paced taste of regenerative design — eight lessons across the four dimensions (Social, Ecological, Economic, Worldview). It is also the doorway into GEDS, Gaia Education's year-long Design for Sustainability & Regeneration programme, whenever you are ready.

Frequently asked
Is it really free?
Yes. No credit card, no upsell wall mid-lesson. The full one-year GEDS programme is paid and runs in cohorts — the intro is our open door.
Do I need experience?
None. The intro is written for curious beginners as much as for seasoned practitioners. If you can read this page, you can take it.
How long does it take?
About two hours all in. Self-paced — do it in one sitting or one lesson at a time.
What happens after?
You keep access to your account, the intro lessons, and the global forum. If a dimension calls to you, the next cohort is one click away.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes — finish the lessons and a few reflections and the intro certificate is yours, downloadable as PDF.
