One-day workshop in Berlin
PLAYtoGROW:
Experience regenerative system design
The PLAYtoGROW one-day workshop is a 1-day format in Berlin that teaches permaculture as hands-on system design. You build models from Beenius, document them on Infinity Stonepaper and take a concrete planning structure for your own project home with you.
Regeneration is not chance, it is design. Permaculture is nature's most successful operating system. With our hands-on Infinity Tools we design circular systems and, at the end of the day, transfer them directly to your teams, your projects and your organisation.
Decode the code of nature, at Baumhaus Berlin.
The programme
Step by step to a regenerative ecosystem
We have developed a process in which you experience the Infinity Tools by developing a regenerative ecosystem step by step.
We start with your hands. You get to know the Infinity Tools, work dynamically with Infinity Stonepaper and build structures with Beenius. That is how you experience why analogue tools are the key to intuitive and connected thinking in a digital world.
See the Infinity ToolsWe use the tools to work out the three ethical pillars and the principles of permaculture. You visualise cycles and understand through building how nature avoids waste and creates resilience.
In small teams you design a fictional, regenerative garden. You plan zones and place elements so that they support each other. This garden is the physical prototype that makes visible how resilience works in design.
At the end of the day we use methods from design thinking to transfer the principles from the imaginary garden into your reality. How does “use edges” help in your project planning? How does “integrate rather than segregate” work in your team communication?
Who it is for
Who is this day for?
Facilitators and agile coaches
For everyone who wants to be done with Zoom fatigue and Post-it chaos. Experience how to facilitate complex topics and strategies for teams regeneratively with Infinity Tools.
Systems thinkers and innovators
For everyone who wants to understand permaculture not just as gardening but as a universal framework for regenerative business models, team structures and holistic life design.
Future shapers
Whether you are building a balcony, a community project or a start-up: if you are looking for sound design knowledge to connect resources cleverly, this is where you get the tools.
From the machine to the garden
Two operating systems. The model makes the difference tangible.
The old operating system
The machine
Linear and rigid, problems are repaired in isolation. The goal is maximum efficiency and short-term output. People are cogs in the machinery. Leadership works through control, pressure and micromanagement. The result: wear and tear, silo thinking and burnout.
The new operating system
The garden
Cyclical and connected, everything is linked to everything else. The goals are resilience and long-term yields. People are part of the ecosystem and can unfold. Leadership works through observation, care and setting the conditions. The result: regeneration, innovation and growth.
Your guides
Denny Ehrlich and
Agnes Friedrich
The founding duo of Solarpunk NOW puts the method into your hands. Agnes is a permaculture designer, Denny is a system innovator. Together they make sure that strategy becomes tangible. With PLAYtoGROW you experience how to master complexity playfully and design systems that deliver yields over the long term without burning out.
