“Even though the consequences stemming from a lack of sustainability (such as ongoing climate change, the loss of biodiversity, or increasing migration), are obvious, our political and economic policy-makers around the world do not act accordingly. Because they do not dare to question the present international economic order promoting injustice and the destruction of the environment. The great challenge we are faced with calls for a shift in our highly complex and globalized world, one towards systemic change, a new order focused much more strongly on the wellbeing of humanity and the environment than it does today. The solutions that have been proposed for years are being implemented far too slowly and half-heartedly.

We are convinced that humanity has the intellectual and technical capabilities to realize such a change. Therefore, we would like to provide an inspirational stimulus to the public discourse by connecting existing thoughts and measures: for a consistent shift towards systemic change.”

We are convinced that we can get to the root of the problem if the individual is in continual physical as well as cultural contact with nature.

The Arts & Nature Social Club wants to revive this lost contact with nature. In an informal circle, members are encouraged to enter an intellectual, aesthetic and spiritual dialogue with each other. Getting together with artists, curated rural travel experiences, and a wide range of scientific contributions will expand awareness of our own being and nature in general. 

Answers to the core question,
“How can humanity once again be in equilibrium with the global bio- and geosystem?”, will help address the problems of our time.

This central question is being addressed through a stimulating exchange of ideas, based on lectures, workshops, and educational trips within the framework of a diverse program, curated by our active members and speakers. For this purpose, artistic, scientific, and economic views and approaches are being discussed on a regular basis. Our international network of chapters, composed of opinion-leaders and decision-makers, thereby cultivates these stimuli aimed at bringing about a change of heart together with a proactive approach towards a world that works for all.
