Personal Doughnut Canvas
The foundations we need to thrive, without taking more out of the ecosystems that we are part of than we put back in
This (early) Personal Doughnut Canvas v1.2 is for getting up close and personal with what foundations we need to thrive, without taking more out of the ecosystems that we are part of than we put back in, in a reflective but also practical way; to exchange with others. Co-developed by Byng, Daniel Blyden, Emily Gambles + Rach Bromfield, building on the work of DEAL, Zoe Gilbertson, Cassie Robinson and others, so far the CIVIC SQUARE team have tested this tool out as a first prototype to bridge from the Manual of Me towards a Manual of We (a we beyond humans and far beyond our team and geographic locality - see Dark Matter Labs' The Human(e) Revolution work for more), and shared back our findings during our strategy month in January 2022, before inviting Doughnut Economics Learning Journey peers to try it out as part of their space to align, get to know each other, and set the way forward for how they will come together.
We found that keeping the central social foundations segments of the doughnut blank led to interesting explorations of what matters to us and what we personally need to show up at our best, whereas engaging with our collective resources, the limitations of these and the responsibilities that come with stewarding them needed a bit more agreement or parameter setting as groups, but the conversations being had in order to do that helped balance out and connect the multiple viewpoints, going from considering personal wellbeing in isolation or at odds with our wider purpose and work, to what it allows us to do in our communities; become the embodiment of a regenerative force of nature.

My 20y+ international career is quite diverse (science, space, infrastructure,...). I am currently working as a sustainability freelance consultant in Portugal and I have spent the last 10y working on social impact and sustainability in infrastructure in the UK. I have realised that to really remove barriers to training and decent work you have to change the system, that seems rigged against those who should be serving. I have been looking for ideas and people that can help me change the system and learnt about regeneration - healing our planet and people and Doughnut Economics. And that brings me to the DEAL Community. Get in touch if you have an idea or project we can work together.

Hello, my name is Morgane. I am a passionate advocate for the circular economy and dedicated to creating sustainable solutions for our planet. Currently, I serve as a project leader for Circul'R, a French startup that specializes in guiding corporations toward adopting a circular economic model. In this role, I work closely with companies to help them transition their economic practices towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches. My interest in environmental issues was sparked during my exchange program in Japan, where I witnessed firsthand the challenges associated with waste management and the overproduction of plastic. This eye-opening experience inspired me to pursue a master's degree in environmental policy, with a specific focus on waste management and sustainability. Throughout my studies, I delved into various aspects of waste management and learned about innovative strategies to tackle environmental challenges. Driven by my passion and knowledge in the field, I am dedicated to making a positive impact by promoting circular economy principles and finding practical solutions to create a more sustainable future

I am a biologist with a Master's degree in Forestry Sciences, and I have devoted 25 years of my career to protecting life. I believe in the power of collaboration and have used my expertise, skills, and network of partners to support initiatives that seek to regenerate and promote sustainable models for creating a new green economy that benefits both people and the planet. Throughout my career, I have worked in various sectors in Brazil, including research corporations, the Brazilian Ministry of Environment, the private sector, and WWF Brazil, as well as with NGOs. I find inspiration in travelling, being in nature, reading various books, engaging in conversations with friends, and staying active through yoga or other sports, which allow me to rejuvenate and bring new ideas and innovation to my work.

I started with a bachelor of Business in Entrepreneurship where no one even whispered the word cooperative. Then spent the last 4.5 years learning all about Worker Cooperative Start ups with Earthworker. From this created a Cooperative Bootcamp where we take in groups of 5 people with a feasibility analysis of their business idea that they want to make into a worker coop. I am excited to see what the the DEAL work looks like alongside this work.
