A Shift Towards Regenerative Economics: Introducing a New Learning Series
In a world increasingly defined by ecological crises and social inequalities, the emergence of new economic paradigms is not just necessary but urgent. This week marks a significant step in that direction as the
Capital Institute and
nRhythm unveil the
Regenerative Economics & Business 101 Learning Series. This initiative is designed to present alternatives to the current failing economic and business systems that are often criticized for their short-sightedness.
Scheduled to commence with a live event on
June 25, 2025, this series aims to engage various stakeholders, including leaders, educators, investors, and changemakers. The inaugural session will feature a dialogue between renowned figures in the field:
John Fullerton, a former Managing Director at JPMorgan and a proponent of regenerative finance, and
Tre' Cates, an expert in organizational design and a advocate for regenerative practices in business.
The discussions during this learning series will be supplemented by on-demand course content, which is fundamental for those looking to understand
what regenerative economics is,
why it’s essential, and
how to implement these concepts into real-world business practices.
Understanding the Need for Change
“I’m excited to launch this series aimed at anyone who is eager to step beyond the outdated business-as-usual practices that contribute to environmental degradation and social injustice,” stated Tre' Cates. With an increasingly vocal demand for systemic change, this initiative acknowledges that current economic frameworks are proving inadequate in addressing pressing global challenges.
Fullerton elaborates on the necessity for a paradigm shift, stating that regenerative economics is not merely an iteration of traditional sustainability practices like ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). Instead, it represents a deeper commitment to redesigning economies and businesses to support holistic well-being for both people and the planet.
What to Expect from the Series
Participants in this series can anticipate clear frameworks and concrete teachings based on regenerative principles. The
Regenerative Economics & Business 101 Series will include:
- - Fundamentals of Regenerative Economics: A course led by Capital Institute focusing on foundational concepts and applications in economics.
- - Fundamentals of Regenerative Organizations: Taught by nRhythm, this course emphasizes real-world applications in organizational design and management.
- - Access to recordings of the live event and a special bonus live Q&A session with John Fullerton and Tre' Cates.
The series provides a unique opportunity for participants to engage with thought leaders and gain insights that are vital for navigating today's complex economic landscape.
Event Sign-Up and Future Engagements
The free kickoff event, which aims not just to inform but to engage in a candid conversation about the urgent need for a transformative approach, is open for registration. Interested participants can sign up through the dedicated registration link

In summary, the
Regenerative Economics & Business 101 Learning Series is not just an educational initiative—it's a critical response to an economic environment that's increasingly unsustainable. With experts advocating for a comprehensive shift towards regenerative approaches, this series could serve as a vital stepping stone for leaders and organizations willing to rethink their strategies and commitments.
