How can we learn from urban nature of how to thrive in an
ever-changing world?

The alarming loss of biodiversity poses an imminent threat to urban environment, economies as well as health and well-being. These wild times ask humanity to question our current lifestyle. Nature is our best mentor how to become truly regenerative.

It’s time to switch on!

Are you ready to embark on a transformative journey where nature’s unyielding resilience serves as a catalyst for personal and societal transformation?

This 2 days immersive time intervention in the heart of Berlin, invites us to reactivate our eco-awareness and renaturing minds in urban environments. The divers sessions accompanied by our multidisciplined mentors, offer participants a rich and immersive dive into the realms of urban resilience, biomimicry, creativity, chaos, temporal and spatial dynamics, each carefully crafted to foster a deep understanding and practical application of these concepts.

We invite a small group of selected participants to a profound exploration into the dynamics of nature and urbanity. Future thinkers, artists, activists, philosophers, designers, students, teachers and participants with multi-diverse backgrounds come together to explore, research, experience, and co-design experiences and actions for urban and human rewilding.

A collective experimentation with new & regenerative ways of being, working and living in the city. A starting point for a regenerative movement in personal and professional spheres.

Join us to reconnect to urban nature
and your true self,
catalyzing personal and societal regeneration.

Expect the Unexpected

This Time Intervention is a starting point for new perspectives and profound change.

Day 1:
Friday, July 26, 2024: 10am to 9pm

URBAN RESILIENCE AND BIOMIMICRY

Morning Session:
The day begins with an immersive urban walk, during which participants explore the concept of urban resilience. They observe and engage with the local urban wilderness, identifying the vitality and adaptability of nature within the city. This exploration is a foundation for understanding how natural resilience can mirror and inspire urban living.

Midday to Afternoon: Following the walk, participants delve into the world of biomimicry. They learn from nature's mastery of adaptation, observing how animals and plants use forms, colors, and strategies to thrive. This session encourages participants to draw parallels between these natural adaptations and human challenges, fostering a creative bridge between the natural world and practical human applications.

Late Afternoon: The focus shifts to creative tasks where participants use insights from the day to design characters or environments that embody the resilience and adaptability observed. These creative expressions help solidify the day's learning and encourage (eco) systemic understanding.

Conclude the day with a collective dinner with your “Punky Creatures” in Berlin Mitte’s hidden garden.

Day 2:
Saturday, July 27, 2024: 10am to 5pm

CHAOS, CREATIVITY, TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL DYNAMICS

Morning Session:
Participants explore the theme of "Chaos & Creativity," using spatial design to create memorable experiences that integrate sensory elements, historical context, and immersive storytelling. This session challenges participants to think non-linearly and design spaces that bridge time and space, enhancing narrative construction through the chaos and creativity found in life.

Midday to Afternoon: The concept of time and memory takes center stage. Participants engage in discussions and activities around non-linear approaches to experience design. They explore how spaces can act as vessels for collective and individual histories, crafting experiences that illustrate non-linear narratives and enhance the formation of memories.

Late Afternoon: The workshop culminates with a session on "Deep Listening and Rewilding Perception." This final part invites a profound journey of self-discovery and community engagement. Through deep listening exercises and reflection, participants consider how to implement their new skills to design regenerative experiences in their personal and professional lives.

“We’re awake now, and the question is how do we stay awake to the living world? 
How do we make the act of asking nature’s advice a normal part of everyday inventing?”

– Janine Benyus
