Course: Bioregional Learning Days 2026

How do we turn regenerative ideas into regenerative practice–in relationship with place?

Whether you're strengthening climate resilience, restoring ecosystems, redesigning institutions or supporting communities to thrive, sooner or later the same question emerges: how do we learn to work well with a place?

Bioregional Learning Days is a 4.5-day learning programme for people who are already creating change and who want to deepen their practice through direct experience of a living bioregion. Ideal for professionals seeking to develop their practice, graduates entering the sector, and career changers looking to work in regenerative and place-based fields.

Designed and run by the Bioregional Learning Centre and hosted by nature conservation trainers, Ambios, near Totnes in South Devon, the programme combines theory, workshops, field visits and co-designing, integrating real-world examples of initiatives working within and across food systems, ecology, community development, governance, economics, culture and climate adaptation.

What you will learn on our bioregioning course; how to:

• Understand your place; rivers, soils, communities and culture
• Apply knowledge and skills for starting or developing bioregional practices
• Grow a citizen knowledge network to forge new pathways
• Design for regenerative action within many sectors, including food and farming
• Convene, communicate, map; processes and techniques
• Lead joined-up action in the face of change
• Develop a Bioregional Financing Facility to support more regenerative projects
• Model collaborative ecosystem restoration, including the arts.

Rather than learning about regeneration from a classroom, you'll learn with the people, places and relationships shaping regenerative change.

Whether you're a practitioner, researcher, student, educator, policymaker, funder, community organiser, creative or career changer, you'll leave with practical approaches, new relationships and a deeper understanding of how regenerative change emerges through place.
