What we offered 2013:

We know: we face global crises at multiple levels. Something very fundamental needs to change, has to be transformed.
How can we be agents of transformation – with all that we are: head, heart, hand and spirit? How can we  contribute to transformation in a joyful way.

Our international Learning Partnership on Transformative Change  invited to a weekend of inner and outer exploration. In a place that is surrounded by beautiful nature, we met as a group of inspired and inspiring people and took  time for reflection and strengthening the sources of our activism.

Erik van Lennep

Hi, I am Erik, coming from Ireland. I am a “shameless agitator”, working on many aspects of personal, cutural and ecological transformation for more than 30 years. I´ll be sharing my ideas and experience with design-thinking, with getting in touch with Nature and learning to work from intuition as a reliable tool….also cooking delicious and healthy meals with Lukas.

Benjamin Kafka

I am Benjamin. I am passionate about creating spaces for individual and collective  learning about the nature of transformational processes, and especially  about the process of building individual and collective intention for  collaborative action. Two years ago, I co-founded Impuls, the Berlin-based ‘agency for applied utopianism’. With Impuls, we strive to bring together personal transformation with vision and acting together on the urgent challenges of our time. I will be sharing dialogue and sensing practice inspired by David Bohm, the Art of Hosting and Theory U.

Lukas Scherak

I am Lukas. I am an environmental and sustainability researcher, lecturer and visionary explorer. Currently elaborating on my PhD thesis with the focus on participatory methods of teaching and learning in the context of education as sustainability. I like to be outdoors, play games and love cooking and experimenting with all sorts of daily ingredients (that not only being part of the kitchen). One of my passions is to explore Douglas Harding’s “the Headless Way – a method of self-enquiry”.

Bea Fórizs

Sziasztok! I’m Bea from Hungary. One of my favourit passion is to dance contact improvisation and spend time with children. I´m learning and self-exploring all the time through the mirror of nature, my love Cristof and our son, Hayam and you (copyright Cristof). I had been working with speeking handicapped children. Right now, the most actual is to observe the development of Hayam, and finding ways to join to him in this beautiful process, and to dance the trio of my little new family in a peaceful, joyful, playful mood.
I´m fascinated and inspired by the wisdom of the body and its potential to bring détente through movements. We have a great team (body-sensation, emotions of the spirit, power of the attention and awareness of the mind) to be able to orientate ourself in the inner and outer world.
