The Core Team
The co-creative space of the EARTHFEST as it has been unfolding since the end of 2017, is being kept and nourished by a small circle of individuals.
Why are we here?

Because existing on and with the living earth is something most deeply remarkable.

We can see the world suffering from a lack of love, manifested as the rejection of reciprocity on so many levels. Being of the earth means existing only through mutuality. The EARTHFEST celebrates reciprocity by giving ourselves back to the earth.

Let us go home and show to one another what we really are inside and what is our joy. That will be a festival!

Change cannot be planned. It arises spontaneously in the free play of minds and bodies. In a festival it finds its most promising embodiment. For this reason I support this important initiative with all of my heart.

On the political level alone the great transformation cannot be achieved. Today, we must develop other new ways beyond this level!

The EARTHFEST-Initiative inspires a conscious confrontation with outer nature, which at the same time is our own inward nature. While western culture has universalized itself through Christian mission, colonialization and finally globalization, the EARTHFEST-Initiative creates spaces for an intra- and intercultural dialogue about the question of the “good life” (buen vivir).
