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.

Together we'll explore:

• Understanding your bioregion as a living social and ecological system
• Climate adaptation and regenerative land stewardship
• Building resilient local food systems and economies
• Community-led governance and democratic participation
• Mapping local assets, challenges and opportunities
• Creative and sensory practices for working with place
• Real-world examples of regenerative practice across South Devon

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.
