The Regenerative Lunch & Learn
Systems thinking through a plant-forward meal.
One hour | 10-25 team members | Tangible, memorable, immediately applicable.
THE EXPERIENCE
This is not another lunch & learn.
Your team spends one hour eating a delicious plant-forward lunch while learning the behavioural science and systems thinking frameworks that made that meal sustainable—then immediately applying them to their actual work.
You leave with:
→ 4 frameworks you'll use daily (COM-B, Planetary Health Diet, Circular Loops, Seasonal Rhythms)
→ Applied insights from breakout work on your real challenges
→ Digital toolkit for continued application
→ A meal experience your team will still remember six months later
THE STRUCTURE
12:00-12:10 | The Start: Make the Familiar Strange
→ Team receives plant-forward lunch
12:10-12:35 | Four Frameworks Through the Meal
→ COM-B Model: Why behaviour change requires system design, not just information
→ Planetary Health Diet: The benchmark—what sustainable nourishment actually looks like
→ Circular Loops: How to close waste streams and regenerate resources
→ Seasonal Rhythms: Working with natural cycles instead of fighting them
OUTPUT: Mental models that transfer to product design, workflow optimisation, team capacity planning
12:35-12:50 | Apply to Your Real Work
→ Share insights with full team
12:50-1:00 | Integration & Send-Off

WHY TEAMS REMEMBER THIS
Traditional corporate sustainability training fails because it's abstract, guilt-based, and one-way.
The Regenerative Lunch & Learn works because:
→ It's concrete. The meal on their plate is the case study—they see, taste, and touch the principles.
→ It's empowering. Not "you're the problem" but "you can redesign systems—here's how."
→ It's applied. They practice frameworks on real work challenges during the session.
→ It's portable. COM-B, circular design, seasonal thinking—these work on everything they do.
→ It's memorable. Six months later, they'll remember the lunch where they learned circular economy.
