This article, adopting an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach inspired by integral ecology, cultural ecology, and deep ecology, and influenced by the idea of integral education and pre-modern worldviews, delves into the fundamental assumptions, principles, and concepts of Iranian culture. When harmoniously integrated, these elements can lead to the creation of a unified and alternative educational approach, enabling an effective transition through contemporary ecological mega-crises for Iranians. This transdisciplinary harmonious integration has been endeavored by employing the methodological possibilities of problem-solving known as “design thinking.” Using “arts-based research,” this paper argues that pre-modern civilizations’ understanding of the “ongoing flow of the sacred in nature” led to a lasting relationship with the complex ecosystem network of life surrounding local communities. The primary goal of this research is to propose a “regenerative learning and education approach” that is “aligned with life.” This is achieved through recreating the profound interaction and connection between humans and the ecosystem of life, thus paving the way for the regeneration of ecosystems, with a focus on Iran’s local ecosystems.
