TASTE THE SHIFT​

A Playground for Regenerative Stewards in Business & Beyond

Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity.”

- Jonathan Safran Foer -

Taste The Shift is an experience created to help (aspiring) leaders in the regenerative space to ground the regenerative lens in a tangible and inspiring way. The experiences is designed to boost your inspiration, sense of agency, understanding of natural intelligence. Beyond savouring abundant flavors and stories in great company, you’ll harvest (un)learning and insights that weave your relationship with food, nature and the regenerative worldview. During Taste the Shift you will develop your capacity to bring the regenerative lens into your life, kitchen and business. 

A healthy society is connected and a nourishing food reconnects us to earth, our well-beig and future generations. By reconnecting (aspiring) regenerative intrapreneurs, leaders and change-makers to real food, to the essence of life, we can reflect on our current systems and find our way back to what it means to be a healthy connected living beings. Food can nourish our soil, health, minds, society and future generations.
