Studio Rhye operates at the intersection of business strategy, human development and the built environment. Michelle is also part of the , board member of Pattern Mind, and an advisor at the , providing coaching, connections and capital to Bay Area entrepreneurs to grow community wealth.For about five years Michelle worked in architecture and design and prior to that about five years in technology startups doing product and design. When she set out to work in regeneration, she realized she was using the language but her work wasn’t genuinely regenerative. She wanted to live in fuller integrity and actually have the effect she intended.She credits the and Carol Sanford for creating a conscious shock and grounding her work in rigor. The aim of aligning intention with regenerative systemic effects requires her to return over and over again to examine her patterns and quality of thinking and being, and revise these so that the value she enables leads to genuinely regenerating organizations, communities, and bioregions in the world.  This is still an ongoing, imperfect, developmental process. Tonight we'll lean into this pursuit of regeneration.  How might each of us contribute at deeper root cause levels to a world that is genuinely thriving? How can we bring our livelihoods into alignment with this kind of intention?What patterns must be disrupted and cultivated in ourselves and when and how do we know if we’re being and working from a new paradigm or just using new language?OUR CHEF:A Bay Area native, chef Eric Minnich has a simple ethos, combine a straight forward approach to food with a deep appreciation for the best seasonal produce.With a degree in culinary arts and nutrition from Johnson & Wales University, Eric further honed his craft working alongside acclaimed chefs like Traci des Jardins and Michael Mina, and at prestigious establishments such as the Michelin starred Madera at The Rosewood Sandhill and RN74. He also played a key role in launching nationally recognized restaurants, including The Commissary in San Francisco.Beyond the kitchen, Eric partners with local food companies to refine their products and connect better with customers. His collaborations include Air Protein, Melli, Mission Barns, Teaspoon and Hyphy Burger, amongst others. Ingredient integrity and quality, creativity, flavor and innovation are his guiding principles, whether he’s crafting dining experiences or consulting for food ventures. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e7014850-6e86-11f1-9142-23c31cc090e3-rimg-w1109-h740-dc482a19-gmir.jpg OUR MENU:TO STARTDown Root Farm Red Gem Lettuce Cups Miso Tofu and Fried Shallot and GingerAged Balsamic Dirty Girl Farms Eggplant, Heirloom Tomato, Greek Style Feta and Lime Basil SkewerMAINSWild Rocket Arugula and Shaved Fennel Salad with K&J Orchards Stone Fruit, Spanish Marcona Almonds, Dwelly Farms Cucumber, and Apricot VinaigretteSummer Happy Quail Farms Pepper Sugo with Kalamata Olives, Genovese Basil, Dirty Girl Farms San Marzano TomatoOya Farms Summer Squash Roasted with Argaramato Lemon Oil, Pecorino and Romano Cheeses, Spanish Style Migas, Italian ParsleySeared Mount Lassen Trout with Dwelly Family Farms Green Bean and Savory Rancho Gordo White Beans with Lemon and Olive OilTO FINISHKnoll Farms Carrot Cake with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting, Strauss Chantilly Cream, Almond and Brown Sugar Streusel---------------------Please email us at least 72 hours in advance if you have any dietary restrictions and we'll do our best to accommodate them.Drinks at 6:00, dinner at 7:00.

Incentive System Design is thinking differently and comprehensively about how we shape our own and one anothers’ behaviors and designing systems that guide those behaviors in desired directions, particularly our choices as participants in an economy.  ISD seeks to propagate greater human equality, restrained production and consumption, regeneration and equilibrium in natural systems at scale.  \r\nRaman is also the founder of Good People Dinners, a Bay Area community focused on meaningful conversations, usually over food and drink. These dinners, corporate salons, overnights and retreats bring together professional chefs and fascinating speakers on a wide range of topics.
