When the conventional wisdom
no longer works - the IRL's Inspiration

Live your life purpose
while you make a living

The Institute for ReGenerative Learning's programs offer
    >   a practical  educational experience for emerging adults seeking a meaningful way to use their talents
    >   a renewed sense of purpose for wise and  accomplished men and women
    >   inter-generational mentoring and integrative apprenticeships  are an integral part of every one of our contemplative educational programs

Today's challenges call for systemic solutions.  ReGenerative Learning integrates sustainability and evolution to develop tangible skills.  You will strengthen your capacity to design creative responses to the volatile circumstances we face on the planet, and you will develop the skills to earn a living at the same time through  cooperative business opportunities in local food  enterprises and other segments of the green economy that hold the possibility of meaningful employment

Our programs infuse learning with awareness, insight and compassion for oneself, others and the world. You will : (1) find a deeper sense of purpose;  (2)  develop tangible skills;  (3) create lifelong  friendships, and   (4) become a  solutionary who can create a better world.
