Life Itself

 We are pragmatic utopians. We’re committed to practical action for a radically wiser, weller world. We create hubs, start businesses, do research and engage in activism to pioneer a wiser culture.

We create spaces for conscious community with the aim of nurturing a wise and well culture which embodies the compassion, wisdom and connectedness we believe is necessary if our societies are to truly flourish. We have hubs in Berlin and Bergerac, and are experimenting with how these can act as containers for personal and collective development. 

We believe that individuals are stronger when they are within a community that upholds their values and supports their growth. Our community hubs both model the possibility of a wise and well culture and support their residents in working towards the wellbeing of their wider communities.

We also undertake research and run events exploring how we might shift our social paradigm in ways that are better for people and for the planet. Particular areas of interest include the link between climate sustainability and wellbeing, how social paradigms shift, adult development and its causes and what a wiser social order might look like.
