The journey has significantly influenced my perspective, altering my approach to design and enabling me to view life through a broader lens. I am eager to apply this knowledge in practice and assist others in learning from nature. I appreciated working through the various phases and learning more about our network and the wealth of resources available for developing engaging educational experiences. The 3 seeds of biomimicry will be top of mind, and I intend to integrate these essential elements into all aspects of my work. I will continue to seek inspiration from nature for design solutions and support others in doing the same. I am grateful to Jess, Rebecca, Alistair, the Learn Biomimicry team, and the members of the Quetzals – Biomimicry Educator Programme for your help and encouragement.

The Biomimicry Short Courses are absolutely inspiring, useful and provocative. 


The application of Nature-based solutions are limitless. The worldview we have transforms completely when diving deeper in to Life's principles and it fills us with hope of a regenerative and sustainable future by addressing the real causes, by asking the questions of how nature does a certain function and by leveraging the right points that can really transform the systems we have created that are degenerative by design.

 

The framework provides useful guidelines for personal, community and business applications using Nature as a model, measure and a mentor.

The Biomimicry Practitioner Programme has been a transformative experience for me. Before the course, I had a very basic understanding of biomimicry, but the deep dive into its principles and real-world applications has helped reshape how I think about problems, both in my personal and professional life. 


What I love most about biomimicry is its focus on nature as a model for innovation. It's fascinating to see how the solutions we are looking for in design, business, etc. already exist in the natural world, and this course taught me how to look at nature not just as an inspiration but as a teacher. 


Now that I have completed the course, I'm really excited to apply biomimicry principles to my work in sustainability, and in my personal life. I love the fact that biomimicry encourages us to design solutions that are regenerative and beneficial to the whole system, rather than simply solving individual problems. 


This aspect really appeals to me as a sustainability consultant and trainer, and I see opportunities to incorporate nature-inspired solutions to address complex challenges, both in product design and organizational strategies. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone interested in sustainability, innovation, biology, or if you are simply looking for fresh, nature-centered ways to solve problems. It’s an eye-opening and enriching experience that has already impact how I think and work.

As a proud alumna of the Learn Biomimicry Biomimicry Practitioner Programme, I love checking back in to see how this field keeps evolving. It’s like watching a forest grow—constantly branching out in new and fascinating directions. Biomimicry completely shook up my professional practice—in the best possible way. From the moment I stumbled into this world, I rewired all my consulting and business approaches to follow Nature’s playbook. And let me tell you, it works like a charm. 


What I love most about biomimicry is its gentle, non-violent approach to problem-solving. When people engage with nature as a mediator, they open up in ways they never would otherwise. It’s magic—especially in conflict-resolution workshops, where deep emotions surface in a way that feels safe and natural. And in the latest book I co-authored with my friend Julien Leyre we investigate how ecotones foster innovation: so biomimetic! Biomimicry is woven into every part of my life. In fact, it probably always was—I just didn’t have the words for it before. Now, I do. And with its principles as my compass, I navigate my projects with clarity and purpose.

The Biomimicry Confluence was a thrilling experience to me.


The presentations were very interesting, each by a passionate person. I had that feeling that all that I listened to had a strong purpose, and they shared that with us, their drive. That made their presentations special. They spoke from the heart. I especially liked Jay Harman's presentation, as he talked about the foundation of everything and creativity and peace of mind. The ultimate inventor. 


 I liked the Biomimicry Confluence in general, the people, the conversations, the incredible depth of knowledge and passion each shared. It was very inspirational and I cherished each moment of being there. Thank you so much to Jess, Ali and Rebecca for creating such a wonderful conference.

The Biomimicry Educator Programme changed the way I approach my 6th-grade science curriculum. The structure of the program was concise, clear, and organized. The format for resources and submitting work was clear and easy to access. Over the course of the six months, I reworked the focus of my science standards to include WHAT we can learn FROM nature in order to solve current issues. This focus gave us a timely, tangible reason to learn the material from the processes of the water cycle to the physics of wind, air pressure, and elevation. Online courses can often be bogged down by too many working platforms and resource locations, but the process for accessing work was easy.


The monthly meet-ups, with the potential for more as needed, we instrumental in seeing how others were working, solving problems, and thinking. Jess and the team are very positive, understanding of life as it leads, and understand that we are in the beginning of a learning process.. and by no means the end of one. I also appreciated the open-ended approach for determining HOW you want to engage with the concepts. Most teacher-training programs have an end in mind for you.. this programme supports your individual ideas, and helps you engage with the principles of biomimicry as your guide, and not someone else's preconceived notion of how you should engage with the material. From day one, I applied the biomimicry principles directly to my classes in real-time. I felt supported in this "jump off the cliff" strategy, which allowed me to feel safe experimenting. This is just the beginning of my Biomimicry journey, and I'm excited to continue on with collaborators I've met, and ideas I've discovered. My classroom and curriculum will never be the same.. and I feel as if I'm producing solutions for our time, rather than miring my students in the daunting weight of what still needs to be done. Biomimicry offers current, and future solutions that add an element of hope and resilience to the intersection of human behaviour and natural systems. I'm grateful for this course and all I learned. I'm excited to see what others develop as well, moving forward.

As a sustainable agriculture researcher and consultant, learning more about biomimicry has helped me better understand how to integrate this concept in my research, teaching, and consulting. Biomimicry contextualizes learning from nature (versus about nature) to improve human processes and technologies to better balance our relationship with the natural world. I would currently like to apply biomimicry to better understand how nature uses fire to revitalize landscapes in a current literature review that I am doing for a working manuscript.

Completing the biomimicry practitioners course has been a truly transformative experience, both personally and professionally. As a medical doctor and researcher focused on sustainable solutions, this course helped to shape my approach to problem-solving; humbly designing with Nature as model and mentor. Through collective mentorship and collaboration with like-minded individuals, I gained both practical insights and creative inspiration, discovering how nature’s perfected systems can offer innovative solutions, particularly in my work on reducing water loss in municipal piping. I am especially appreciative of the Learn Biomimicry team’s adaptable and welcoming nature, which made it possible for me to balance the demands of work and study. Their flexibility in accommodating my schedule, particularly when I couldn’t attend cohort time slots, was invaluable in helping me achieve this milestone. The support they provided was key to not only understanding the concepts but also applying them in a meaningful way. This experience has marked the start of a new path in innovation and sustainable design for me, and I look forward to continuing this journey, driven by the shared intention to create harmony between human solutions and the natural world!

The Biomimicry Confluence was such an inspiring and motivating experience. It was so wonderful to connect with others who are doing this work.   What was most exciting for me is the number of people around the globe, in different professions that are doing biomimicry! 


Since the event, a number of us who are focused on biomimicry education have been connecting and finding ways to learn from and support each other.

I highly recommend the Biomimicry Practitioner Programme to move your ideas to reality!

Hi, I’m Cheryl Spector, an Architect and Built Environment Ecologist based in Denver, Colorado, USA. My career has always been a journey searching for how to have a positive and regenerative impact between our built environment and our natural environment, including the impact on the health of humans that occupy these built environments. 


As a leader in sustainability, I often thought we had found a good process, design, materials, or manufacturing; however, I found that most of these were not working as well as we need. I left “sustainability” and jumped into the practice of biomimicry, where I found the most amazing natural mentors!


Although I got my first certification in biomimicry a decade ago, Learn Biomimicry's Practitioner Program was ideal for me, providing the structure and encouragement to pursue one of my innovative ideas that I had not been able to move forward with until completing this program. 


The Learn Biomimicry staff was exceptional in their support and guidance. I’m now moving from the threshold to opening doors for innovative bio-based materials designed to collaborate with the microbiome of our homes, providing healthy interiors for our families.

How are we creating solutions for a world in crisis? 


We need technical solutions, but more importantly, we need a shift in the practice of “business as usual.” Biomimicry shifts our cultural lens. This helps us transition from exploitative practices to ones that support lasting innovation. I am curious how we can align human activities with the principles of nature’s reciprocity and abundance. During my 6-month journey to become a Biomimicry Practitioner, I researched the wisdom of the hive mind to build stronger, more cohesive teams and foster an environment of trust and transparency. Just like bees use their unique communication methods to make collective decisions, businesses can implement similar strategies to enhance collaboration and innovation. This approach not only streamlines operations but also creates a culture of inclusivity and reciprocity, ultimately solving larger societal issues by promoting sustainable practices and a sense of community. Embracing these natural principles can transform the business world, making it more adaptable, resilient, and socially responsible.

The course was inspirational! The process made me realize how I would like to work in the future! I also came closer to nature on a different level which is what I was missing from my daily routine. The mentors are invested into the course and are always willing to help and guide each practitioner. I enjoyed the Biomimicry Practitioner certificate!

My role as a business humanizer requires being able to bring more human logic into businesses, guiding them to create meaningful positive impact in the lives of people that their products and services seek to serve, without harming people and planet. The Biomimicry Practitioner's Program had such a profound impact on the way I approach challenges and seek out solutions. Nature's genius is truly unparalleled and this program made me wonder why we very rarely look around us for solutions to our life and more specifically, business challenges. I was completely inspired by the innumerable examples of how nature addresses complex problems with simple strategies that do not negatively affect its components, far beyond widely accepted sustainability disciplines. Biomimicry completely reframed my lens. A life-long skill I intend to apply to everyday life, not only my career. From a career perspective, it has opened up a completely new line of inquiries and research in a solutioning process. As a self-driven program, I was impressed by how enlightening, informative and surprisingly collaborative it was. The Learn Biomimicry team and mentors were beyond amazing. Available at every step of the journey to guide, check-in and offer support where needed. I want to reiterate my gratitude to my cohort (the Hummingbirds), Jess, Yuma, Melissa, Rebecca, Deb, Alistair and the broader Learn Biomimicry team for the opportunity to learn and be inspired. If you find yourself at a crossroad in deciding whether to sign up, take the leap. You won't regret it.

The Learn Biomimicry Practitioner's course has been an amazing experience, opening so many doors in various dimensions. - Engaging with both the Learn Biomimicry community and individuals beyond its bounds provided rich insights into diverse perspectives on nature-inspired solutions. 


Throughout the course, I gained a deeper understanding of the distinctions between biomimicry, biomimetics, bio-utilization, and biomorphism. This comprehension is pivotal as we transition towards a future driven by genuinely sustainable innovations, motivated by a desire for real change rather than need to follow policies. 


Although there could have been more constructive criticism and not only unwavering support, the monthly calls during the course allowed for interesting discussions where we continuously learned from each other. - For me, the course seems to be designed more for the ‘intuitive’ applications of biomimicry such as products and materials. However, the mentors can also help you to dive deeper on the more metaphorical biomimicry examples. 


I was already convinced about the importance and efficiency of biomimicry and I think this course is a great way to bring biomimicry to those that need convincing. It would be a great exercise for a team looking to bring new ways of thinking into their meetings. Biomimicry thinking is not merely a skill but a mindset essential in all industries. As I embark on my journey as a strategic consultant, I will regularly be looking back at my report and course notes in order to integrate this approach into my daily practice and share it with my colleagues.

I'm a visual artist working cross - disciplinary on capillary phenomena inspired by fluid migration. The Biomimicry Practitioner Programme challenged my thinking and confronted me with the Biomimicry Ethos: Nature as a teacher, not as a resource. It is a long-life practice, so it is different from current conditions. I'm happy to take a step into it together with The Learn Biomimicry team.

Very inspiring course. A new way of looking at nature opened up. Since I studied this course I apply what I learnt to my private life, especially when going out in the nature. It gave me in the work the best approach and tools for exploring about technologies and materials. Since, I try and apply biomimicry learning from the nature I observe and even some ideas are starting to take shape little by little.

The Biomimicry Confluence was truly diverse and the pioneers of the field took us through the actual innovative work done and being done in the field of Biomimicry. 


My area of research and work is in the field of SDGs, environment development, climate change and also see them through the lens of Psychology, Sociology, Botany, Ornithology and other natural sciences. 


I have been active in learning about nature but biomimicry and Janine's book a few years back led to the Aha moment for me, and since than I have been immersed in learning more from nature and about biomimicry applications. Learning biomimicry through the three courses of Learn Biomimicry made me come in contact with the actual working of the fascinating subject and also briefly with Claire Janisch. 


Many congratulations to the team for this pioneering effort and best wishes for the future.

This programme has inspired me to learn even more from nature’s wisdom and genius, but nothing like doing so with guidance and using The Biomimicry Thinking Tools and Methodology. This has been a game changer for me and my whole team! 


The discussions were always so rich and full of information, I would always leave the meetings inspired and feeling grateful for this experience and the opportunity to be able see life with a different lens. I feel the Biomimicry has truly changed my life and the way I manage my company. And I see these changes on my team as well. We are constantly asking ourselves: “how does nature…” This course has offered me a chance to understand so many different things and the inspiration to ask the right questions. It became clear to me that asking the right questions, it is far more important than having the right answer. I have also learned that disturbance is a creative opportunity, not a threat. And with that in mind, me and my team have unleashed a possibility of great creativity and innovation. Thank you!

"The only thing that's not designed by anybody, is nature." - David Kelley, founder of IDEO. Inspired by this quote, I delved deeper, honing my skills and drawing inspiration from the ultimate designer: nature. The course has been an invaluable pillar throughout my learning journey. Rather than merely presenting information for rote memorisation, it fosters an environment that promotes discussion and exploration with international peers and seasoned professionals in the Biomimicry industry. If you're seeking a fresh design perspective, this course serves as the perfect (or should I say 'optimised'? - inside joke) launchpad for your exploration.

In the game "Who wants to be a millionaire", players can phone a friend. In our daily life, work and design process, our best friend is Mother Nature. She tested and improved solutions during 3.8 billion years. "Learn Biomimicry" is not just nice stories compiled into a course, it is a thinking process starting from Nature (discover and explore) to finally preserve it (at minima) or regenerate it (at best) while we, humans, do want to innovate. The course is inspiring, Nature is magnificent. Through the introduction course, I already captured practical examples on how to improve food packaging to minimize food waste and water consumption in the reuse/recycling processes.

I enjoyed every aspect of the Biomimicry Practitioner Programme, it was well-developed and easy to understand. The course gave enough information to allow room for growth. The guidelines were simple, the Learn Biomimicry mentors were very skilled and knowledgeable. They listened to my wide scope and complicated ideas pertaining to flooding, sea level rise and water shortages occurring in St.kitts, and guided me in the right direction to design an upstream and coastal area structure to regulate the hydrological flow. 


The Learn Biomimicry team all bring such contagious positive energy that you can't help but share the energy with others even after the monthly meetings have ended. I am truly grateful to each and every one of them for their time and effort given throughout the six months. BEST 6 MONTHS EVER! 


The Biomimicry Practitioner Programme gave me ample confidence and design thinking skills that can be used for a lifetime. I've learned to look at each and everything from a different perspective and dive deeper into its function, strategy, and mechanism whether it is big or small. 


 A huge THANK YOU to the Learn Biomimicry Team, this course was awesome!

My sincere appreciation goes the biomimics team for putting these brilliant learning materials together. I oversee the implementation of the Climate Smart Agriculture Project and this course has been relevant in aligning my project to especially the sustainable energy solutions where we are integrating use of cow dung waste for biogas production, adopting Solar for agriculture production and efficient energy cooking solutions like energy savings stoves. These are all connected to and use principles of biomimics which I have had chance to understand more clearly. Personally the knowledge will help me in in my personal entrepreneurship journey alongside my work.

The Biomimicry Educator Programme substantially elevated my profession as an outdoor educator/Montessori teacher.


The prerequisite Biomimicry Short Course was a hearty framework that was clearly infused into the program and continues to be an excellent resource for me as an educator. The more I delved into each design phase of the program, I noticed a breath of fresh air into my work. I also felt gratification in seeing how my project was being woven into my work with my students at school. The applications I gained through the course were immediately translated into my work with obvious relevance. My students were overjoyed to do the activities that came out of my project that I developed throughout the course. 


 The facilitators of Learn Biomimicry are both professional and supportive. They are genuinely invested in our growth as biomimicry educators and are thrilled to witness our progress through the program! They are skillful in giving useful feedback and are eager to celebrate our victories. Networking with the biomimicry community throughout the course is nourishing and refreshing. I am so grateful to have met my cohorts and look forward to keeping in touch with many of them! 


I now feel prepared, confident and motivated to branch out and grow my profession as a biomimicry educator. I also feel like biomimicry is much more accessible to me as a human being and a member of this ecosystem of life on Earth. I am so glad that I chose to join the Educators program!

As this course comes to an end, I just wanted to add a section to personally thank each and every person in the Learn Biomimicry Team. 


This course has been fascinating to be a part of and it has reminded me of how perfect nature is. I have made mistakes but with your help and guidance, I have made it to the end. In this project, I wanted to prove that Biomimicry Life Principles could be applied to a current workplace issue where the goal is not to ‘create something new’ or ‘create something extraordinary’ but simply to improve on a current design and make it cheaper. 


My mindset was, “If I could apply Biomimicry Life Principles to something as simple and uncomplicated as this, then I could apply it anywhere, despite how simple or complicated the challenge may be. I am proud to say that, despite my inability to prototype this design and bring it to a tried and tested conclusion, I have still achieved my goal. 


So again, thank you to each and every one of you for creating/teaching this course! I am extremely grateful!

The experience I had with the Biomimicry Educator Program of Learn Biomimicry has changed my way of thinking in a way that no matter how many potential solutions nature provides; we can divide (based on the context) and conquer to reach out to the best fit solution to our challenges. 


One of the many great exposures I had in this program was that I was able to identify and use resources near me. The other beauty of the program is that it connects you to people from every part of the world, the team, members in the cohorts, and co-pilots. 


The Learn Biomimicry team members are very knowledgeable, super kind and extremely supportive in helping us stay on track. The program fits well into my schedule because of the schedule options provided and you can learn at your own pace within a month or two for each section.

The Introduction to Biomimicry course really helped me to build a more foundational understanding of the future role that biomimicry might play in the design world and systems thinking. Design practitioners might assume that they already know many of these basic principles, but this course clearly outlines the actual ways that one might bridge or translate possible ideas. Highly recommended for anyone in the art, design, or education field. - Abigail Doan

The Biomimicry Educators Programme really helped me to explore truly connecting and inspiring ways of sharing biomimicry with learners. 


Using the biomimicry design methodology to create the learning experience also connects one more deeply with the actual practice of approaching a challenge using the design spiral. The team of mentors were absolutely brilliant at providing support, inspiration and also in challenging us where it was needed. Working in a cohort created the space for the learners to share experiences, encourage each other, learn from each other and contribute ideas and feedback to a diverse range of project topics. 


An expansive learning experience that I highly recommend to anyone wanting to incorporate nature-inspired innovation into their curriculums.

The Biomimicry Practitioner Programme promotes learning from nature to create more sustainable human designs. It inspired me to look at the world through a different lens. 


It was an excellent course with well-defined and applied biomimicry concepts, tools, and principles to create biomimetic designs. I learned to apply nature’s design principles, strategies, functions, and patterns to my design to create human-made designs.


The team is so knowledgeable and never failed to give me a nudge to dive deeper into the research. Designing with the Biomimicry Life’s Principles in mind definitely inspired me to continue my biomimicry learning journey and incorporate nature-inspired design into my daily life.

The Biomimicry Practitioner Program has been wonderfully inspiring and eye-opening! It pushed me to reframe how I analyze and approach challenges, which has been beneficial in my professional and personal life. Instead of jumping straight to the solution, the team encourages and guides you to break down the challenge and view it from multiple angles. Thus, you're able to immerse yourself fully, and you're given the tools to continue practising biomimicry after the program ends. The Learn Biomimicry team has been beyond helpful and patient! I'm excited to join the wider biomimicry network and continue learning.

Having spent 8 years researching biomimicry pretty much full time, I still got a lot out of this course!

This was a fantastic biomimicry short course set.

Let me start off by thanking the Learn Biomimicry team for curating this beautiful concept of training biomimicry educators to promote biomimicry and upskill what it can do to the benefit of the world. 


The program was intense, with lots of learning on the concepts, the processes and the ways we could curate the program for the students we are working on. It also gave us an opportunity to network with cohort colleagues from across the world and gave different perspectives on the way Biomimicry can be taught to various age groups. Would love to be connected for longer with the team to learn more. 


Without a doubt, I would recommend the Biomimicry Educator Program to anyone who is interested in teaching the concept of biomimicry.

I am a Bioengineer and it's every day that I am looking for inspiration from nature to engineer tissues and organs as similar as possible to the native architecture and functioning. This course provided a new perspective to problem-solving with a focus on better translation strategies via biology to design or design to biology. It's all about FUNCTION and CONTEXT. Highly recommended.

The biggest master is nature. Biomimicry is a perfect way to listen to this master, for creating a healthy thriving living way to save the planet from our "civilized" way. From eco-nomic thinking to eco-logical thinking

I loved the Biomimicry Practitioner Programme and the emphasis on the process of incorporating biomimicry into a design process. We went step by step through the discovery process and were inspired by nature to solve problems that we are having with our clients. It was interesting and what a pleasure to have such a supportive team to guide us through the first biomimicry design process from beginning to end. Cannot wait to dive deeper with clients!

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere. — Chinese Proverb. 


For me, this is what Biomimicry is all about - keep learning and changing for the good. Nature's model of evolution keeps changing and adapting for the better and getting the most out of the available resources. 


Everything that nature creates is the most that can be done from it without any harmful effect on its neighbours while the neighbours are quite the opposite. Nature's resources, learning, and the treasure that it has for the past few billion years are free. We just need to respect and reach out for it. 


We, being part of nature have to follow its rules and act accordingly to thrive.

I really enjoyed the course and how it guides towards a beautiful design approach in a constantly evolving world.

After 6 months of an immersive learning experience with the Learn Biomimicry team, I would admit all my five senses have gained a new perspective and appreciation of the natural world surrounding me. The systematic methodology employed for learning biomimicry through my chosen project challenge helped me assimilate the concepts quite well. 


The "Challenge to Biology" approach was made very intuitive through the monthly check-in discussions with my cohort and the challenges from my mentor group were the icing on the cake during the programme. After a couple of decades in the management and tech consulting profession, I was accustomed to the famed MECE framework for problem-solving (that typically pushes for outcomes benefiting a single party - the payor mostly). The practice of biomimicry involves understanding and then applying nature's tried and tested (through 3.8 billion years of evolution) circular problem-solving methods and systems design principles, and considering the benefit to all stakeholders from any solution. 


This gave me a new way of looking at everyday challenges around me and how natural models exist that have solved similar problems much before humans. Am grateful to the experienced team of mentors that helped me along my learning journey. I intend to take forward my learnings from this unique programme and try to refine and pilot my design for a sustainable urban food-growing ecosystem over the coming year. I also intend to use biomimicry alongside my data & technology background to solve other societal and business challenges around me. 


Biomimicry has hereon become an integral part of my life.

Initially, I went into Mechanical Engineering in the hope of pursuing Biomimic Engineering since there was no degree for it at that time. The Biomimicry Short Course Set is exciting as now I am learning how to apply what I love (being nature) to what I have studied. Thank You and I am excited to learn more.
