Nature's Blueprint Regenerative framework
The premise of Nature's Blueprint is the acknowledgement of the disconnect between the human race and the rest of the natural world. Our belief is that this is at the heart of most of the crises we face today. As such, in working together we first move to:
- RECONNECT - Form a deeper relationship with the natural world, shine a light on the interconnectedness of soil health, gut health, human mental & physical health, societal & overall planetary health. This includes being outdoors, getting your hands dirty in the soil, learning about natural processes such as symbiosis, mycorrhizal networks, the microbiome and how these processes relate to your world. This will lead to a state of being where you can start to:
- REIMAGINE a different way of being, a different future for you, your communities, your organisations. Drawing on nature's lessons & proven mindset shifting models & tools, you will explore different solutions to the challenges that you face. Then you get to the vital part... you then get to:
- RESPOND - Taking your learnings from the experience you will take time to reflect on your own & with inspirational peers to create your own action plan. There will be the opportunity to foster accountability within the community.
We are at the tipping point for our species and millions of other species on the planet. This is your time to make a difference - This is your time to take action, to be the ancestor you want to be.

Testimonials
"The Natures Blueprint day at Farm Ed was actually life changing for me. I wasn’t sure what to expect but went along and being given the time, space and support to work through a dilemma I had been pondering for a while was so freeing and I left with a clarity I have not felt in ages. All of this amongst a great group of people, all coming from different places but with a shared interest in regeneration, I thoroughly recommend it." Clare Hill, Planton Farm & Roots to Regeneration
“I attended the Nature’s Blueprint Launch event as someone notionally interested in how I can make better choices for my own health and become more part of the answer, than the problem with regards to looking after our planet. The event was an immersive educational experience that highlighted the interconnectivity of the food supply chain, regenerative farming, gut health, humane animal farming and many other related themes. The simple but effective framework served as an invitation for me to reconnect with nature, reflect on the impact I was having and respond by making decisions to make changes within my control to start making a difference. I encourage anyone who cares about making a positive impact to preserve this abode earth for the next generation to come along and be educated and empowered to start making a change.” Frank Bolaji-Irawo, Coach, Speaker, Poet

Testimonials for Nature's Blueprint
"It was such an unusual and inspiring day. I never thought learning about gut health and farming to be so integral in our regeneration, but it makes so much sense now. We have to look after ourselves to look after the planet. We have to cultivate our lifestyles to perform at our best, to function at full capacity to be resilient to keep going - because sustainability and regeneration is a long hard road. You meet a lot of resistance, many unexpected challenges. But it is worth it.
And having community around you is key. The Nature's Blueprint community is looking to shape up to be a fabulous one.
It was a beautiful day, with beautiful people, and curious cows 😂🐄"

"The location was wonderful. It felt brilliant to be on a regenerative farm and to go into the landscape and spend time connecting there as part of the time for the day. The gifts, the nourishing food and the thoughtfulness around how the day was designed was very much appreciated. I loved the diversity of careers and skills that became more evident as the day progressed and it was possible to chat with people. It was inspiring and galvanising to hear what different people were doing. The insight from the systems work was staggering and something I will use again. I left feeling inspired and hopeful about the different pathways this community might follow and the possibilities that may emerge as a result. There was a deep joy for me in being in a room of folks that 'give a sh*t' on that launch day!"
