Connect and Thrive: Regeneration Partnership Education
Connect and Thrive: Regeneration Partnership Education introduces a curriculum model developed to support ecological, social, and cultural learning in response to current global conditions. The approach centers on relationship-building, collaboration, and the integration of diverse ways of knowing.
Developed through more than 25 years of field-based research and co-teaching in Canada, Thailand, Ecuador, Belize, and Spain, this book presents a practical framework that blends Indigenous and Western knowledge systems. The result is a place-based, story-informed educational pathway intended to support learners, educators, and communities in cultivating regenerative practices.
The book includes:
A narrative model called the River System of Human Time, designed to help contextualize human development and future possibilities.
Applied tools for nature connection, tracking, and perceptual awareness, informed by Indigenous teachings and ecological science.
A transdisciplinary framework drawing from anthropology, systems thinking, evolutionary theory, and community governance.
Educational foundations grounded in Two-Eyed Seeing, Multilevel Selection Theory, Regenerative Economics, and the commons stewardship principles developed by Elinor Ostrom.
A relational, land-based approach to education aimed at fostering practical and local action.
Rather than critique existing systems, this book proposes an alternative path for education rooted in experience, connection, and interdependence. It outlines a methodology that can be adapted to local contexts, inviting reflection and participation from educators, facilitators, community members, and learners of all ages.
The content may be of interest to those engaged in regenerative education, community development, youth mentorship, or cross-cultural collaboration. It is intended for educators, community organizers, researchers, Indigenous partners, and others working at the intersection of learning and social transformation.
Dr. David Krieger, a Canadian researcher with a doctorate in International Educational Leadership, has developed this program through long-term partnerships with Indigenous Elders and educators, and through field facilitation across several countries. His co-author, Tashmyra Crowe, M.Ed., contributes additional expertise in curriculum design and regenerative education development.
This book offers a contribution to the ongoing conversation about education's role in supporting communities and ecosystems. Its purpose is to support those working toward connection, responsibility, and regeneration as shared educational goals.
