Designing a workplace rooted in regeneration
“Through a living systems approach, nRhythm is on a mission to transform workplaces and create conditions where health and abundance are the natural outcomes.”

It’s official! Taurio has been accepted into nRhythm’s 2022 Fellowship.
Regeneration is not just about farming.
Regeneration is a philosophy, a framework, a lifestyle. ReGen is a lens with deeply rooted principles to make decisions that consider the whole.
Does your company work like a well-oiled machine? Ever feel like a cog in a wheel? Have prescriptive “best practices” that become outdated comically fast? Are productivity and profit prioritized over health?
These words personify the very industrial, mechanistic approach that treats organizations – and the humans within them – as machines. We are not machines.
Hard pass.
Contrary to this and the common burnout culture of SV tech startups, our vision for Taurio is to create a healthy and abundant organization that truly embodies regenerative principles. Principles that measure the health, diversity and function of living systems to foster abundance, resilience and create infinite potential. Beyond-sustainable principles that benefit the whole, give more than they take, and leave room for magical, emergent outcomes.
Yes, please.
As first-time founders of a for-purpose/for-profit company, we are all too aware (and still blissfully unaware) of the rollercoaster of uncertainty that lies ahead. Though the risks are high, the destination is well worth the journey.
We are in this for the long haul and in order for us to succeed, we must be resilient. And we know true resilience starts with the support and interdependence within community and relationship. That is what maintains all harmony in nature.
Why not learn from and mimic nature?
The nRhythm community was one we have aspired to belong to and are honored to be accepted among the 25 fellows helping to shifting perspectives globally!
If you’re inspired to live more regeneratively for yourself, your family or your work-family — join us! There is a program for anybody and everybody.
nRhythm’s Design Principles and Living Systems Approach
We’ve pulled the 6 Design Principles from nRhythm’s website below. You can also learn more here: https://www.nrhythm.co/approach.
Developmental
Growth and health of all members. We recognize that all members of living systems are in constant growth and development and that the health of system is dependent on the health of its members. We design and operate our organizations in a way that creates the conditions for all members to grow and thrive in conjunction with the health of the system.
Nodal
Decentralized and distributed. We recognize that living systems are not centrally controlled and organized and that resources and functions are distributed throughout the entire system. We design and operate our organizations in a way that does not rely on centralized command and control structures and allows all members of the system to be resourced, empowered decision-makers.
Evolutionary
Maintains a dynamic balance with ever-changing environmental conditions. We recognize that life creates the conditions for life. We design and operate in a way that both responds to and also creates change in our organizational environment to maintain a dynamic balance with constant change.
Uniqueness
Original and the possibility of individual genius. We recognize that each living system and every member of the system is unique and expresses their individual genius. We design and operate our organizations in a way that fosters the expression of the genius of all members within the greater context and purpose of the organization.
Interdependence
Inherent value of all relationships. We recognize that in living systems regeneration, resilience, and abundance emerge from the diversity of interdependent relationships of all kinds in the system. We design and operate our organizations in a way that recognizes the complexity of our deep interdependence with our clients, suppliers, partners, and even competitors.
Holism
The whole is more than the sum of its parts. We recognize that in living systems, regeneration, and life can only be understood when viewing the system as a whole. We design and operate in a way that values the entirety of the system and creates conditions for abundance, resilience, and impact to emerge from the interdependent contributions of all team members, clients, and partners.
