1-Day Workshop PLAYtoGROW: Grasping System Design & Permaculture Haptically

With the PLAYtoGROW method and our Infinity Tools, you can experience the principles of permaculture in three dimensions. You will build, sketch, and design functioning ecosystems in a model – and at the end of the day, you will translate this knowledge directly to your own context through intelligent Design Thinking: your team, your business, or your garden. An intensive day for clear minds, new perspectives, and immediately applicable tools.

PLAYtoGROW:
Experience regenerative system design

The PLAYtoGROW one-day workshop is a one-day event in Berlin that teaches permaculture as haptic system design. You build models from Beenius, document on Infinity Stonepaper, and take home a concrete planning structure for your own project.

Regeneration is not by chance, but by design. Permaculture is nature's most successful operating system. To truly understand it, we must grasp it. In this one-day workshop, we collaboratively discover nature's code. With our haptic Infinity Tools, we design circular systems that we can directly apply to our teams, projects, and organizations by the end of the day.

The process

We have developed a process that allows you to experience the Infinity Tools by developing a regenerative ecosystem step by step.

Solarpunk NOW Workshops mit Infinity Tools – Workshop Infinity tools PLAYtoGROW SolarpunkNOW7
1. Infinity Tools

We start with hands-on experience. You will get to know the Infinity Tools. We'll show you how to work dynamically with Infinity StonePaper and build structures with Beenius. You'll discover why these analog tools are the key to thinking intuitively and interconnectedly in a digital world.

2. Permaculture Code: Ethics and Principles

Now we apply the tools. We use them to explore the three ethical pillars and principles of permaculture. We model what "observe and interact" truly means. You visualize cycles and, through building, understand how nature avoids waste and creates resilience.

3. Prototyping: The Future Garden as a Laboratory

We're moving into the implementation phase. In small teams, we'll design a fictional, regenerative garden. Here, methodology and knowledge converge. You'll apply the tools, plan zones, and position elements so they support each other (guilds). This garden serves as our physical prototype, allowing us to see how resilience truly works in design.

4. Contextcraft: The Transfer

At the end of the day, we lift our gaze. We transfer the principles from the imaginary garden into your reality using methods from Design Thinking.
How can the principle of "utilizing marginal zones" be applied to your project planning? How does "integrate instead of separating" help you in your team communication? We sharpen your vision so that you can use permaculture as a compass for your own context.

Your guides
Denny Ehrlich & Agnes Friedrich

The founding duo of Solarpunk NOW put the method into your hands. Agnes (permaculture designer) and Denny (systems innovator) ensure that strategy becomes tangible. With PLAYtoGROW, we experience together how to playfully master complexity and design systems that deliver long-term returns without burning out.
