A well-designed workshop teaches more than skills; it teaches care, awareness, and sustainability.

If your department is exploring the link between space, performance, and wellbeing, message me MAP for ideas.

If your college is rethinking how to design for connection, our Nature Integration Map includes steps for embedding biophilia into everyday learning. Message me “MAP” and I’ll send it over.

Imagine a further education campus where every workshop window frames a living wall and every student pause becomes a breath of nature.

This week we’re exploring how primary schools can move from grey tarmac to green learning — where curiosity grows alongside the wildflowers.

Follow along as we unpack how biophilia can transform classrooms, wellbeing, and the joy of learning.

Excited to launch a new weekly series: Biophilia in Education. Each week we’ll explore a different stage of learning — starting with nurseries — and how nature can transform the way children grow, learn, and belong.
Week 03 of our Biophilia in Schools series is here!
This week we’re focusing on wellbeing — how nature reduces stress, builds confidence, and grows kindness in classrooms.

Because when schools bring in nature, we don’t just grow learners — we grow happier humans.

Imagine a world where every child, office, and home is alive with the natural world—where biophilia is not an exception, but the foundation of learning, living, and creativity. That’s exactly what we’re working towards at the School of Biophilia.

Just spotted in #Aspiration Magazine — the School of Biophilia is bringing nature into design, education, and wellbeing. Plants, people, purpose. No fluff, just better spaces.

Biophilia isn’t an “extra” lesson. We’re teaching kids how to feel nature again—in maths, English, even German. Education should nourish the whole child.

Day 06: Illuminating Learning

14 Patterns in 14 Days – Countdown to the Mela

Embrace the rhythm of natural light in your teaching spaces. Dynamic and diffuse lighting not only enhances aesthetics but also boosts learning + well-being.

Day 05 in our biophilic countdown is all about water—presence, flow, memory—and what I learned from Lawrence Halprin’s fountains: spaces where people and place could move together.

Day 04: Let the air surprise you.
Not all comfort is control.
A warm patch of sun or a sudden breeze can bring us home to ourselves.
