Training with Jasmine Fuego & Abrah Dresdale
Training with Jasmine Fuego & Abrah Dresdale
Learn a Regenerative Design Process, and how to apply it to
social change projects and plans for personal resilience!
Regenerate Change Purpose Statement:
Connect and train change makers with regenerative design tools to develop
social-impact driven projects in service to coordinated culture shifts.
2-day Regenerative Design for Change Makers' Training Description:
Patterns of the natural world can shape the way we organize our movements. They point to holistic integration of personal self-care, professional growth, and mutually supportive network building as a key to long-term resilience. With regenerative design tools, you can design a thriving life filled with the rituals that nourish you while delivering the high impact work you were meant to do.
The Regenerative Design for Changemakers (RDCM) training uses the social permaculture design process, mindfulness techniques, and creativity to support participants in designing a regenerative, holistic, plan for their projects and themselves in a way that avoids burnout--integrating radical self care with professional growth. Together, we build a supportive network of changemakers skilled with regenerative frameworks in service to a coordinated culture shift.

Testimonies:
|
“I feel like there is so much more to learn and so many layers, and this is an exciting feeling...I don’t feel as alone anymore. [The training] opened a vortex towards realizing my full potential.” --Victoria Hernandez, Bioneers “I believe your ‘stacking the deck’ to make sure there were majority people of color and folks working cross-sector who ‘design’ in society for change and justice without being expressed ‘permaculturalists’ was really powerful. Making sure that your course requires DIVERSITY makes it unique.” --Ashara Ekandayo, Impact Hub Oakland “I have a road map for moving forward and some powerful mapping tools. I have a lot more clarity about where I am (Context) and a sense of how I can use existing assets to affect the change I need/want.” --Maclovia Quintana, Earthjustice “Social application of permaculture frameworks in a diverse, powerful community with space for ancestral cultures to weave in.” --Cedar Ranney, Sacred Witness Media “I feel a faith in my work that was not present when I walked in...It gave me a confidence in my capacity to make change and create...The presence of people of color made this a unique experience of learning about regenerative design. I felt safer to share and mirrored in the feedback. I felt hope seeing us together and supporting one another. This does not feel common in the eco-movement.” --Jazmin Calderon, Weaving Earth & Planting Justice “It was a good way to think about how my project bridges to my own life and larger social movements. It was a very sensible way of thinking holistically across scales." --Alex Werth, Good Culture & UC Berkeley PHD candidate “Jasmine and Abrah’s energy and enthusiasm for helping change makers do their work effectively and for the long-haul is electric!” --Effie Rawlings, UC Berkeley Gill Tract Farm |

Justice Workers, and Cultural Artists!!
Each of us, coordinated as a community of practice, yet working at our respective nodes within the wider ecosystem, can evolve our capacities for a connected culture shift.
About the Facilitators...
Jasmine Fuego and Abrah Dresdale, who in their facilitation draw from the wells of their Afro-Nicaraguan and Jewish ancestral lineages respectively, create a rich culture of inclusion so that others too can share their whole selves. This learning environment fosters vulnerability and authenticity in our leadership, moving us towards personal liberation from oppression in all of our change making projects.
