Jane Lourens

Jane is a Biomimicry educator, consultant and regenerative development project manager, but first and foremost a lover of life in all of its expressions. Closest to her heart is facilitating deep reconnection and the integration of living systems thinking into products, processes and systems to create conditions conducive to life and a flourishing ecosystem of regenerative living across Southern Africa. 

Trained as a Systems Engineer, and with over 20 years of leadership experience, Jane has directed and managed several large projects, spanning database development, systems development, large scale data-center events, as well as creative projects. Most recently she directed a project in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, that sought to unearth Socio-Economic Opportunities in rural communities across South Africa using Biomimicry and Design Thinking methodologies.
