Radical change needs vertical ruptures
towards a fundamental shift in attitude.
Installing new sets of observation, reckoning contextual spheres, asking circular questions and merging disciplines are pivotal - to re:frame our "inner logic", overcome normative patterns and break alternative grounds.
Our institute is a productive environment for debate, knowledge transfer and ideation.
We equip individuals, institutions and corporates to explore new scenarios, navigate uncertainty and complexity – with the mission to install re:evolutionary sustainable systems. The ultimate destination is a space that we call HOLITOPIA® >>
Our educational program is a bridge between theory and practice and a crossover of disciplines. It is infused by a proprietary method: the EMBARKING FUTURE® >>
This is your chance to break away from business as usual, and position yourself in the most forefront discourse.
