  • The Post Growth Institute is an international, not for profit organization working to enable collective wellbeing within ecological limits.

    Imagine your great grandchildren thriving, here on planet Earth. 

    For this to happen, we need an economy that naturally circulates money rather than concentrating it. We need an economy that values people's needs ahead of corporate greed. We need an economy that gives more than it takes from our life-supporting environment.

    Such an economy is possible.

    While our extractive, growth-dependent economy is driving us to collapse, a full circle, post-growth economy is already emerging, offering a pathway to our shared thriving within ecological limits.

    At the Post Growth Institute, our goal is to help guide the way to that more beautiful world your heart knows is possible. To help shift the worldview, so that more people understand what's on offer when we look at our challenges through an empowered, post-growth lens.

    That's where you come in.

    By reading our research, attending our trainings, hiring us as consultants and sharing post-growth content, you help us shift the worldview.

    To find out more about our work and how you can be involved, read on. 

    What we offer spans three, interconnected areas:

    "I’ve facilitated at and attended many conferences where connections are made for a moment, but their potential never comes to fruition. The Offers and Needs Market, so graciously offered as a tool from the Post Growth Institute, changes that paradigm and connects us to the next level of thriving in community."

    "The Post Growth Institute have been crucial in our transition to a not-for- profit business, making the process easy and even fun. The comprehensive support they provide to community organizations is incredibly valuable.”

    "Working with a small group of deep ecologists, educators and permaculturists, I have starting the Small Earth Institute to promote deep ecology, nature connection and regenerative design in education. I owe the seed of this project to a small essay a long time ago on the Post Growth Institute's website which questioned how we should 'up-skill' for the future, and set me on this journey to create emergent schools."
