BioInspired! So What? Now What!

Experience biomimicry in one of our most popular workshop destinations as you explore rainforests and reefs of Costa Rica for a hands-on introduction to nature’s genius. This cutting-edge professional training is designed to inspire you to discover better ways to innovate via the methodology that change-makers around the world are using to create sustainable, disruptive innovations that help solve some of Earth’s most pressing challenges.

This seven-day exploration with our world-class instructors through these interlinking ecosystems provides a phenomenally diverse and fascinating backdrop to help introduce you to the biomimicry methodology, allowing you to discover, unpack, and be inspired by the power of biological intelligence.

What To Expect

Every immersion workshop is tailored to the local ecosystem, setting up each day to be brimming with content and exploration. You should plan to clear your agenda and fully immerse yourself in the biomimicry experience. In Costa Rica, we’ll explore mangroves by kayak, snorkel among parrotfish in the coral reef, and discover the wonders of the rainforest with a local expert.

Upon completing this immersion workshop, you will be able to begin to integrate the practice of biomimicry in your work and life. The workshop experience will prepare you to:

• Identify sustainable innovation strategies in nature
• Understand functional objectives being achieved by forms, processes, and systems in nature
• Translate biological intelligence into relevant and applicable solutions and strategies
• Recognize and use Life’s Principles—design lessons from nature—that can be modeled to create innovative strategies and be used as sustainability benchmarks

It makes for a jam-packed seven days of full-on, biomimicry-based exploration.
