Thanks to the Biomimicry Short Course Set I have learned that more reliable design thinking can be generated by translating natural design systems. This course is a “wake-up call” to notice that our current paradigms require a “redefinition”. It’s indeed a fantastic tool to widen my perspective and approach design in a new way. It is a great reminder of how genius nature is, and how it can be an inspiration for extraordinary innovations. I can't wait to learn more!

Extremely interesting course, most relevant for our world that needs the natural principles and designs for sustainability in every sphere. Enjoyed the course thoroughly and the insights gained from the case studies.

Allow yourself the time to embark on discovering the (not so) hidden gems of nature, so that you can design and apply them in a way that works with 3.8 billion years of proven strategies. Hop on the wagon on evolving what we do. The question is: Are you willing to be part of the solution?

The Biomimicry Masterclass is really a very good and inspiring short course! 


Very well structured, applying the information from previous courses into practice at systems level.


I really needed this, as mostly biomimicry is applied at product level. Through this module the application at systems level became more clear to me. 


It is very comprehensive and inspiring, and gave me new insights how to apply in my work.

I’m so excited to say that I’m now a qualified Biomimicry Practitioner!😀🎉 Six months ago, I set off into the wilderness determined (rather naively…) to unpick the fascinating puzzle of biodiversity in nature. All with the goal of helping #startups and #SMEs build teams that integrate diversity from the very beginning to create healthy, effective and resilient workplaces. I can’t wait to share the results of my project with you over the next few weeks! 😀🌱 I want to say a big thank you to our mentors at Learn Biomimicry 🐋 Jessica Berliner, Yuma Langenbach and Melissa Sikosana, PhD who were instrumental in guiding us through the biomimicry process and helped me hone my ideas... ...and to Sophie Wisbrun-Overakker and Stefano Semprini my fellow cohort members for supporting me along the way! This course has helped me clarify that #Biomimicry and #BioinspiredBusiness is exactly what I want to be doing. It’s given me the push I needed to start thinking more about sharing my learnings online for others to benefit from too. Over the last couple of years at workWILD_ltd I’ve built a tiny solo business from scratch - running online courses and workshops, speaking at conferences and collaborating with my first consultancy client (Karl Brown at Curv – they’re amazing – check them out! 👍🏻🌍) Talking about and reading about biomimicry is fascinating but I want to see if I can really walk the walk. Does nature truly hold the answers for business success? I think so… Now I need to prove it. Stay tuned for news on my current projects, hopefully some client case studies (cos aren’t we all desperate for some of those??😛) and updates on the daily challenge of bringing biomimicry into the mainstream business world.

The six months that I recently spent working on my biomimicry design project, as demonstration of my training as a biomimicry practitioner, was a rare and deeply-valued opportunity. I allowed myself to fully focus on the process, to fully trust my feelings every step of the way. And, in doing so, I repeatedly found an abundance of creative energy and enthusiasm for learning, just when I needed it, to continue the work. Now the project is done, and I have a (very beautiful) certificate to celebrate the milestone and mark the beginning of a new phase in my work - more to follow on the next steps there! Thank you to Learn Biomimicry 🐋 for mentoring me in this step of the learning journey. Thank you to Claire Janisch, my late mentor, with whom I began this journey. You truly created conditions conducive to life, with your life. #biomimicry #regenerativedesign #designengineer

I just finished my masterclass at Learn Biomimicry 🐋. The South Africa team connected to the Biomimicry Institute. If you want to learn about living systems. And processes. And form. Go there! Of course, I already knew a lot of rational information because of my decades of experience with the Blue Economy and regeneration. But if you just have these clear explanatory courses in your backpack, you don't need anything more. John Todd's ecological design is my favorite. Cleansing during distribution. But there are hundreds more examples... Exponential organizations. Distributive, digital access for all people (blockchain) combined with a deep understanding of ecology and biology. Redesigning is all we need to do. Wise redesign inspired by nature. We ARE nature. And we are on the right track! Please, don't doubt it... Courage is what we need... You will be so inspired by the easy explanations and multiple examples that are already happening around the world. And you just have to choose what it is you want to do practically as work. Be a designer? Be a civil servant? Be an entrepreneur? Be a communicator, mentor, educator, and hands-in the soil and feet-in-the-sea-person like me? A polymath and globetrot? The opportunities are endless. And your career, whatever you choose, will always be contributing to the bigger picture of where we're heading with our planet and humanity. Thank you so much, South Africa biomimicry team, Born Global (BG), Kimberly Samaha, and the interns of the Born Global Foundation. I love you all for the huge inspiration you are giving me! #education #inspiration #biomimicry

Eco-systemic wellbeing, parts and whole interrelatedness, of people, animals, environment and nature using Biomimicry, western medicine, alternative health, social model, management + operational experience.

Enjoy your deep dive into biomimicry its thrilling. #LearnBiomimicry material is accessible and comprehensive helping create a new lens and infusion to observe, learn from, reconnect and emulate nature. Would recommend you do the circular route including the Biomimicry Practitioner Certificate so the theory becomes part of your life and world view. I found the circular route a really expansive journey and launch pad. Enjoy

I joined the Practitioner Programme to dive deeper and it was worth every single aspect, the time, the money, the thoughts, the struggles… With an output far beyond what I could have wished for I finished my project and my new company was born. The basis for my business. My purpose. 


I’m a trained business economist and have a great passion for people, communication and organizational development is now involved in Biomimicry was the best professional decision I’ve ever made. 


 In regard to the course, all the material is designed with love, highly professional, with great pictures, an abstract design language that can be translated easily into every context and practical examples. The mentors always have an open ear, and the peer group is a helpful frame and a highly motivating travel group in this wonderful Biomimicry journey. It nearly feels like having new friends all over the globe because we all are connected by this wonderful approach. I could not have chosen a better way to learn more about Biomimicry. Biomimicry changed my whole mindset, it is nearly impossible to not integrate it into every single aspect of my life and career. Recently I merged my coaching techniques with the inspiration of Biomimicry and there is more to come. I want to distribute this powerful practise to all who might benefit from this mindset. 


The first step is done, but the world needs more of this spirit. So please follow this call and let it transform your life! Let´s shape our future!

This Practitioner’s program has the depth of a PhD, the dynamism of a MOOC, and the interactions of a closed circle webinar – all in one within 6 months. I particularly love how the faculty is patient with learners through the program, and are always on hand to answer questions or share useful resources. I totally recommend this program for anyone who wishes to do any good work in this world using an age-long methodology that has been tried and tested by some of the oldest civilizations and inventors. As Leonardo Da Vinci says, “Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, labour in vain.”
