And that's what we help bring into this world.
We offer training, consultancy and experiments helping education be more playful, experiential, and supporting life, so the world can flourish and people feel they fly.
For educators, learners, in 2021 and 2022 we had weekly session, which ended start of Summer 2022.
We love to challenge educational paradigms and make wonder present in learning again. We also often ask: what should you have learned in school but didn't? How can we ignite that kind of learning for life. I you want to explore what we can do for your education, your students or teachers then approach us. We offer advice, guest lessons and lectures, or even weeklong explorative programs for groups on request.

People are biological beings. Play is how nature invented learning. So, we need active play, climbing trees, running, sports to develop our body and our brain. And we need play to try new concepts & Ideas, like how schools work.
Rather than designing regulations, we want to build inspirational relations. Give each other Quality of Attention.
Bring Integrity of Intention and an Open Heart & Passion.
What makes you shine? What does the world need more of? What would give meaning to your life? Start asking these questions and have powerful dialogues around them.
