We serve nonprofits, community organizations, government agencies, universities, and mission-driven businesses who want to pursue regenerative and just solutions to the climate crisis.

Where We Begin
Most of us who work on behalf of a healthy climate, wildlife habitat, and social or environmental justice begin with a profound love for this world.
For some, that love focuses on other humans—people who have been harmed by systems of oppression. For others, that love is called forth by fellow kin—wolves, whales, birds, plants, fungi. For still others, whole ecologies capture our attention—mountains, forests, oceans.
And yet, too often, this love gets depleted by repeated defeat at the hands of authoritarian, capitalist, supremacist systems. We burn out from struggle, anger, or loss.
At 4F Regeneration, we provide tools to help you serve more effectively and resiliently,  leveraging often overlooked skills and knowledge to support greater impact on behalf of people and planet.
