For this certificate program, the first year is residential and takes place over the course of 9 months at Springhouse in Floyd, Virginia. During this initial year, participants will spend around 20 hours/week at Springhouse learning in main courses and focusing on fortification work. Participants will also begin a two-year long project in which they will apply Sourced Design to a project with the aim of building regenerative culture.
The second year of the program is focused on practice, either in Floyd (at Springhouse or another location regionally) or in the participant’s home place. The program itself is online for the second year and culminates with participants sharing their learning experience at the Springhouse Annual Gathering in May. It is our sincere hope that participants leave this program with a grounded sense of what it requires to build regenerative culture, one day at a time.
Springhouse’s Sourced Design Lab is a pre-requisite to this program.
The certificate program is facilitated by Dr. Jenny Finn, Springhouse Executive Director, and Sarah Merfeld, Springhouse Director of Programs.
