The 36^th annual Bioneers Conference offers a space to gather and be inspired to renew our work protecting and revitalizing society, justice and the web of life. The struggle for the soul of a civilization is a multi-generational commitment. Each step matters, and even more so when the prevailing winds make progress more difficult. Let’s come together in community to be revitalized as we explore creative solutions and new paths forward.

It has never been more important to harness the brilliance and grit of our community. Through inspiring talks, deep discussions, collaborative workshops, the unique Indigenous Forum, eye-opening art, and the forging of transformative connections, Bioneers 2025 is designed to reinvigorate our passion for positive change and bold new ideas. We look forward to gathering in Berkeley in late March!

Discover Nature’s Genius for Social Innovation is a transformational training workshop, designed specifically for social benefit leaders interested in learning how to use nature’s wisdom to create regenerative solutions to challenges they face. Participants spend seven days together, immersing themselves in New Zealand’s diverse and flourishing ecosystems to learn from nature, for nature - and for people.  

Offered in partnership with Biomimicry 3.8, this program is led by BSI’s Founder Toby Herzlich and B3.8’s Co-Founder, Dayna Baumeister, two internationally esteemed teachers and facilitators. In its eighth iteration, this program continues to evolve to be mind-expanding, results-oriented, inspirational, and practical. We welcome leaders and learners of all kinds – from nonprofits to businesses to government agencies, community organizations, and more. 

This retreat is for people of all ages and backgrounds who identify as female or as non-binary, including a wide realm of gender expression.

Are you looking for proven strategies to help lead toward a sustainable and regenerative future? Are you curious about nature’s intelligence as a model for leadership practices, organizational strategy, or social change?

The call of our time is for women to step forward to lead in new ways, embodying approaches that are adaptive, resilient, collaborative, networked – practices that the natural world has masterfully evolved over nearly 4 billion years. With nature as our teacher, we will explore the mountains, grasslands, and organisms of this stunning northern New Mexico retreat center, and practice the skills to connect with nature, deepen our relationships with life, and translate nature’s strategies into transformative leadership practices for thriving communities, organizations, and social change initiatives.
