about

livepods co-create and initiate bottom-up, regenerative change processes in partnerships among public, private, and grassroots organizations.

We promote regeneration through gentle, life-centred design processes inspired and empowered by nature.

We focus on discovering, amplifying and replicating beautiful, meaningful, practical experiences that restore life cycles and create a sense of community among people.

We craft our methods using design-driven, complexity-informed approaches.

Despite being a for-profit organisation, livepods does not distribute profit to shareholders and re-invests its resources in projects of entrepreneurial activism or in ecosystems, with a special focus on forests.

Livepods follows the Constitution of the Plants laid out in the nation of plants by Stefano Mancuso.

Reach out to learn more and to bring regenerative practices to your workplace and to your community.
