Terra{Fora} is a journey towards sustainability - not only a bold statement of our commitment to the environment but also a joyful celebration of our power to effect change.

For this first instalment, we're exploring the concept of biophilic design, with Natasha Jade, one of the foremost experts on the topic.

Biophilia or 'love of all that is living' speaks to our inherent ability to connect with the natural world. Biophilic design brings this innate connection into our living and working spaces and is essential for our wellbeing and that of the planet. By understanding how different aspects of nature affect our cognitive, physiological, and emotional function, we can consciously design our environment in a way that supports our health and cultivates creative and focused thinking. This workshop will present a menu of different biophilic ideas to strengthen our sense of nature, belonging, and connection to place.

Agenda and learning outcomes:

• Identify the universal principles of biophilic design
• Understand biophilic design, its intuitiveness, and its importance for long-term sustainability
• Explore the health, wellbeing, and productivity benefits of bringing nature into our spaces
• Understand how we can use biophilic design in the workplace

• Feel inspired to integrate biophilic design into your living and working space for enhanced wellbeing, and lower stress levels
• Understand our evolved connection with nature so that you can consciously apply these intuitive design principles to match your personal and professional needs
