Living Systems, Regenerative Collaboration and Conversations that Sustain Change
In a living, interconnected world, organisations and movements are not machines to be controlled — they are evolving ecosystems shaped by relationships, tensions and unrealised potential. As ecological, social and cultural complexity intensifies, many leaders are feeling the limitations of traditional approaches. At Fraendi, we walk alongside leaders, teams and movements to explore more life-giving ways of working — rooted in relationship, complexity, and the capacity to evolve. We believe that thriving systems emerge not through control, but by aligning with the principles of life: diversity, reciprocity, emergence and regeneration. Regenerative Collaboration: A Living Practice Collaboration is not a fixed [...]

Grounded in the year 2035, this experience invites your team to step into a simulated boardroom conversation set in a future shaped by transformative adaptation, climate breakdown, systemic risk, and profound possibility. From that vantage point, your team [...]
GO Falkland: Fertile Ground for Vital Conversations
At Fraendi, we create the conditions for vital conversations, the kind that bring the mainstream and the leading edge into meaningful relationship. It’s at this intersection that we believe real transformation begins. GO Falkland 2023 and 2024 were such conversations. Sparked at Groundswell 2022 by Ninian Stuart’s vision and the generosity of the Cherry family, these gatherings took place at Falkland Estate, Scotland. They brought together farmers, landowners, crofters and others working with food, fibre and fuel to explore regenerative practices and reimagine the future of food and farming in Scotland. Fraendi was honoured to be a core partner, joining [...]
