The essay presents Biosystemic Methodology, born from the integration of biomimicry and systems thinking, as a flexible approach to address contemporary socioecological challenges beyond traditional sustainability, regeneration and surrounding complexity. Through case studies, it is illustrated how the methodology can be applied to promote socio-ecological regeneration in different contexts, from local communities to entire regions. The need for adaptive learning and a broad and spiritual vision of life is emphasized to achieve a balance between survival and evolution in living systems, considering biophysical, ecological, historical, cultural and social aspects of the territory. It concludes on the need to promote harmony between human activities and natural processes to guarantee a prosperous and equitable future for all forms of life on the planet.
