SHAKTI REGENERATION INSTITUTE

​

Regenerating the systems that sustain life.​​​

​

SRI is a global nonprofit advancing regenerative systems for people and planet.

 

We work at the intersection of ecology, energy, education, culture, finance, and responsible technology, bringing together scientists, Indigenous and community leaders, educators, artists, investors, innovators, and institutions to transform knowledge into real-world solutions.

​

From forests and food systems to green infrastructure and responsible AI, SRI develops and advances models that regenerate ecosystems, strengthen communities, and align technological and economic development with planetary resilience.

​​​​​

The Shakti Paradigm

 

In Sanskrit, Shakti describes the generative power renewing life and societies. From Sachamama in the Amazon and Papatuanuku in the Pacific to Asase Yaa in Africa and Sophia in Biblical tradition, women and Original Peoples have carried wisdom recognizing humanity’s responsibility to live in right relationship with the living world.

​

The Shakti Regeneration Institute centers this leadership while advancing regenerative innovation and education, ecological stewardship, and institutional models recognizing the interdependence of energy, ecology, economy, education, ethics, and aesthetics.

​

“Energy, ecology, economy, ethics, aesthetics, and education are one.”
— Indrani Pal-Chaudhuri
