What we believe

About humans

Any worthy work today must have future generations at its heart — and humans (largely) are wired for this and demonstrate it daily in the realm of their closest communities.

About experience

Embodiment is the gateway to any notable breakthrough. The universal power of beauty, sensorial experience and mystery unlock imagination, conviction and the courage to act.

About change

All systemic transformation originates in personal transformation. The immense challenge of changing entrenched systems can only be sustained if it originates in deep personal yearnings, cosmic humility and clarity on how and where to contribute.

About nature

Whatever is built for the long term must work with nature's principles, not against them. We firmly believe in the bond between humanity and nature and the wisdom within it to help us imagine and shape a life-giving world.
