Regenerative Futures Lab
One 90-minute meeting per month on the 2nd Thursday of the month, rotating between 5:30 – 7 pm and 12 – 1:30 PM
Hybrid sessions: in person and online
The Regenerative Futures Lab, a project of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Climate Collective, is a shared space for rethinking the mental models that keep climate and social issues in place. Explore how participation in the extractive economy contributes to harm, and discover concrete ways to opt out and reinvest in a regenerative future.
Everyone is welcome, no matter what shade of green you are. Creating a healthier, more equitable, and regenerative future requires all hands on deck, with contributions from every sector and demographic group. For those who will be participating in person, an optional potluck will be part of the gathering—feel free to bring a dish to share!
