The Center for Regenerative Society provides leadership renewal programs for people and institutions playing an important role in shaping a healthy, just and sustainable society. We offer our programs in the Driftless Area of the upper Midwest and in metropolitan areas around it.
WHO we serve: Picture the people in your community who inspire and empower those around them to build a more just, healthy, and resilient world – a regenerative society. They are passionate, dedicated, skilled and courageous enough to tackle the most complex social and environmental challenges of our time. Their work is urgent and essential.
WHY we serve: Despite their seemingly boundless energy, these “lead geese” often struggle with exhaustion, overwhelm and doubt just like the rest of us. Many leaders in the nonprofit sector, for example, are facing a “perfect storm” of stressors that is contributing to massive burnout and turnover. In these challenging times, we need these leaders more than ever. We need their innovative thought, their adaptive leadership, and their ability to mobilize their fellow citizens. In the face of the storm, programs like ours can mean the difference between burnout and resilience for leaders across issue areas.
HOW we serve: Through nomination and application, our programs convene and serve diverse groups of leaders, including but not limited to: writers, educators, administrators, farmers, social and business entrepreneurs, youth, elected officials, artists, activists and religious leaders from all traditions. Our Regenerative Leadership Retreats and other programs are designed with the understanding that a regenerative culture cannot be sustained around us without practices of personal and professional regenerativity at the heart of our lives and work.
In addition to continuing our pilot programming for community food systems leaders in our region, other current program plans include:
- Customized Regenerative Leadership Retreats to serve: environmental and public health leaders, renewable energy leaders, philanthropists and foundation staff, land conservation leaders, and clergy and lay leaders.
- A seasonal “Circle of Trust” for nonprofit, health, law and academic leaders
- A seasonal “Powers of Leadership” retreat for sustainable business leaders
By serving retreat groups comprised of leaders from any one of these issue areas, we can help sustain effective leaders through a combination of personal and professional renewal and enhanced peer support and collaboration. We believe this inner work may be the most direct route to a regenerative culture around us.
