17-23 November 2025 | MonViso Institute campus, Serre Lamboi, Ostana, Valle Po, Italy.
From 17-23 November 2025, ETH Zurich’s Systemic Design Labs partner MonViso Institute will offer Systemic Cycles down the Po River bioregion — a multi-day bikepacking tour, bioregional sensing, mapping and weaving practice stretching from the source of the Po below Monte Viso in the Valle Po to the Venice Lagoon.
This Systemic Cycles tour is designed for practitioners, as well as for those who wish to become Systemic Cycles Guides, combining embodied learning with fieldwork and inner development: slow-moving, insight-seeing, conversation, mapping, sense-making, documentation, and local encounters.
Systemic Cycles is a DRRS didactic, and this course exemplifies DRRS’s integrated approach — where inner and outer, art and science, bioregional practice and broader systemic thinking are woven together — training students and practitioners not just to observe and describe, but to guide regenerative practice in motion.
DRRS and SDL are hosted by IBI-BAUG.
