Bio

Masterminding EDEN – Designing a Regenerative Future
In our rapidly evolving world, the challenges of climate change, social fragmentation, and resource depletion demand bold, innovative solutions. Masterminding EDEN is our answer—a pioneering initiative to design, simulate, gamify and build the first regenerative, self-sustaining village. Think of it as a modern-day "ark," a living, adaptable community model that not only protects its inhabitants from environmental disasters but also actively restores and regenerates our planet. With what is on the horizon we are going to need a network of such places around the world. And we can utilize what we learn to inform and retrofit existing cities, towns and communities.
This summer, 300 experts will gather in Switzerland for a month-long, hands-on, collective intelligence initiative to develop a practical, scalable blueprint for human habitation in the face of global crises.
This isn’t just talk—it’s action. We’re bringing together some
of the brightest minds from across disciplines to collaboratively
design the future of civilization.

How It Works
The funds raised in this campaign will directly support the realization of Masterminding EDEN by sponsoring the attendance of this campaigns organizer or their stated beneficiary. Funds will cover the costs of our intensive, month-long mastermind event in Interlaken, Switzerland—a collaborative lab where brilliant minds from across disciplines will come together to map out the future of sustainable urban design. This is not just about creating a physical structure; it’s about developing a transformative model for regenerative cities that can be implemented globally.
Campaigns have a fixed goal and take "pledge payments". If the campaign collects enough pledges to reach or exceed the goal, your pledge will be converted to a contribution and the funds will be transferred to Masterminding EDEN to pay for the campaign beneficiary to attend. If the goal is not reached or the event is cancelled for any reason, your pledge will be cancelled i.e. no funds are collected and the obligation to pay is removed.
