Finance for a Regenerative Economy
In a world where traditional finance often extracts our planet’s health and unravels our social fabric, our online program, stands as a beacon of light for genuine financial system transformation in service to life.
The premise for this program is a strong belief, rooted in an insider’s direct experience, that our current financial system is misguided in its ideology, theoretical foundation and goals, increasingly extractive, and as a result unfit for purpose at this pivotal moment in history. The unprecedented context demands radical – getting to the root of the matter – transformation towards regeneratative finance.
In this program we will demystify finance, help you see its failures, and you will learn how to apply Capital Institute’s 8 Principles of Regenerative Vitality to evaluate, re-imagine and re-design the current financial system in service to a regenerative economy.
“This program is a must for anyone wanting to make a contribution to transform the world. It gives a context to the underlying power of our predatory economy. The first step towards changing something is to know the nature of the problem.”
– Kiffer Sikes, Alumni

Yes. You can start with the Investment for a Regenerative Economy online course that begins on May 8th, 2024, and if you wish to dive deeper and complete the full finance program, you can sign up for the Money & Banking for a Regenerative Economy course that begins on November 6, 2024 at a later date. However, if you enroll in the full program now, you will receive a $200 on your enrollment fee for taking both courses.
The Introduction to Regenerative Economics course focuses on addressing the challenges and opportunities in re-imagining our entire economy. While the Finance for a Regenerative Economy program narrows in on the critical role, and key obstacle, finance plays in enabling economic system change. If you haven’t already taken the Introduction to Regenerative Economics Course, you can still take the Finance Program. You will gain access to foundational sessions on Regenerative Economic theory in the Finance Program course content.
Yes, we provide a certificate of completion to participants based on an assessment of your participation and understanding at the conclusion of the program.
For over a decade, the Capital Institute has pioneered a new space for holistic economic thought that draws on the latest science of living systems and ancient wisdom traditions coupled with our founder, John Fullerton’s 20+ years at the pillar of global finance on Wall Street. We believe that our finance-driven economic system is in urgent need of a regenerative redesign, one that is grounded in the universal laws – not theories – of living systems. The regenerative economy we foresee is a powerful one, unleashing unseen possibilities for self-sustaining prosperity for all. This potential derives from an intrinsic wisdom that resides in us all that can – and must – be tapped to create regenerative enterprises that support our socio-economic system as a whole.
