Yes. You can start with the Money & Banking for a Regenerative Economy online course that begins on November 6th, 2024, and if you wish to dive deeper and complete the full finance program, you can sign up for the next Investment for a Regenerative Economy course that will take place in 2025. However, if you enroll in the full program now, you will receive a $200 discount on your enrollment fee for signing up to both courses.

The Money & Banking course is designed for Central bankers, financial system policymakers, regulators, and engaged citizens curious about the role governments, money, banks and public policy can play in enabling finance flows that benefit life. The Investment course is designed for investment professionals seeking to move beyond the “sustainable finance” industry infrastructure of ESG and impact investing, as well as anyone curious to reimagine finance, financial capital and ideas about ownership, and even philanthropy as a constructive force for economic system transformation.

This course is designed on the premise that it is not possible to “fix finance” without an accurate diagnosis, and without clarity on the purpose of finance. Regenerative Finance starts with foundational understanding and a new theory of finance in service to people, planet and business. It is unlike other sustainable finance programs that provide tools for improving financial performance or decision making. Please note that course participants will not receive the following benefits, so if this is what you are looking for, this course may not be for you:
  • secrets to enhance outperformance versus a benchmark in your quarterly portfolio performance
  • easily defined new metrics to enhance portfolio reporting, regardless of genuine system change impact

Yes, we provide a certificate of completion to participants based on an assessment of your participation and understanding at the conclusion of the course.

Building a Regenerative Future

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.
