Biomimicry Frontiers - Inspired By Nature

Inspired By Nature is a course centered around creating paradigm shifts - examining our perspectives toward how we live our lives in respect to (and in reflection of) the natural world. Biomimicry Frontiers (named a “World-Changing Idea” by Fast Company (2019)) and its founder, Jamie Miller, seek to introduce pathways of thought/action that align with the natural world alongside critical forms of questioning and experimentation with our current processes in regards to collective and individual behaviours.

Through the lens of nature and how we interact with it, the presentation of this research and its practical application encourages each cohort to think with both the eco and anthropocentric critical and connected minds in examining incremental and large scale change within areas of lifestyle, public engagement and cross-discipline collaborations. As Biomimetic thinking and research is also a personal passion, we worked closely alongside one another to align the course aesthetically and linguistically to a science mindset existing symbiotically with a spiritually conscious mindset.

Support materials for the course also include pre-recorded guided meditations, exercises around sustaining thoughtful self care and prompts on how to integrate tenets of the practice in daily life.
