Wellness by Design: Creating With and For the Living World

Wellness by Design: Creating with and for the living world brings together a panel of designers whose work is rooted in ecological awareness and deep attentiveness to nature. This conversation explores how creative practice shaped through care for materials, ecosystems and communities can cultivate wellness across all living systems. 

We’ll consider how designers are weaving environmental stewardship into their processes: through regenerative and bioregional materials, place-responsive making, circular systems thinking, and practices grounded in reciprocity and repair. Together we’ll explore what becomes possible when design moves beyond extraction or decoration and instead becomes a means of supporting ecological balance, connection and resilience. 

This is an opportunity to hear from practitioners who are pioneering more ecologically conscious futures. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and reflect on how creative work can nurture deeper care for the natural world and our place within it.
