Student transformations:

“The experience I had with this course was truly inspirational. It’s a course where we can challenge our preconceptions about what it is to live within this world, alongside other species and our own, and within ourselves as individuals.”

“This course strengthened the idea that humans need to reintegrate into nature and showed me a tangible way of doing it ... it also showed me that understanding nature and mimicking it is not as difficult and unreachable as it may seem.”

“This course changed the way I see life... the biggest for me was mindset, understanding that I have biases and judgments that need to be accepted and thus freed, allowing my mind to explore nature in a more inspiring and productive way. ”

Jamie Miller

Hi, I'm Jamie Miller. I'm the first Global Director of Biomimicry, helping B+H, an international design company bring biomimicry to the built environment. I'm also the President of Biomimicry Frontiers, an award-winning consultancy, and the Founder of the Biomimicry Commons, which Fast Company named a "World Changing Idea." I hold a PhD in engineering, which focused on systems-level biomimicry and urban resilience. I was the Director of OCAD University's Biomimicry Program and I've been a leader in the field since 2004. I was originally trained and educated by Janine Benyus and continue to work with Indigenous Elders to deepen my understanding of the principles of biomimicry while focusing on its practical application. My mission is to elevate the genius of nature and to help inspire two billion biomimics to shift the system toward greater harmony with the natural world.

IT'S TIME FOR A NEW MODEL

Join our self-paced course for a deeper look at a new way of doing things

How we interact with the world is based on our understanding of it. For several hundred years, the dominant cultural paradigm in the West was based on separation and control of nature (Newtonian Science), of the belief that unlimited technological and economic growth were the keys to health and well-being, and that nature existed for our unlimited consumption (Material Paradigm). We believed that we could use stored energy to control and conserve our systems. But now, we are learning that conserving our systems is both energy intensive and potentially disastrous. Although these paradigms have helped us become a dominant species, the attachment to outdated thinking has put our species at risk of large-scale collapse. It's time we look for a new model. One that looks outside of human exceptionalism. Think, that on an evolutionary time scale, we have only just arrived on this planet. It is time that we look to the Elders of this planet for how to contribute to our place.
