Die Entdeckung der Langsamkeit
Im Jahr 2020 ΓΌberstieg die Masse von Menschen geschaffener, unbelebter Objekte β die anthropogene Masse - zum ersten Mal das Trockengewicht allen Lebens auf der Erde, einschliesslich Menschen, Tiere, Pflanzen und Pilze und sogar Mikroorganismen. Dabei betrug sie im Jahr 1900 erst 3% der Biomasse. Sie hat sich seither alle 20 Jahre verdoppeltβ¦
βSo, how is that different for you?β
Having never founded my own NGO or worked in anything other than a commercially oriented company, Iβm somewhat an outlier in this yearβs Catalyst Lab. As collaboratio helveticaβs mission is to fundamentally change how we work together I was often asked what the difference is between working my day job and supporting the Catalyst Lab team in my communications role. Well then, letβs try to find out.
Nicht mess- aber deutlich spΓΌrbar
Unser Engagement und unsere Intention fΓΌr eine andere Welt ist oft nicht messbar und doch deutlich spΓΌrbar. Dies erschwert die Kommunikation darΓΌber und erfordert noch mehr Selbstvertrauen in unser Wirken. Mich interessieren mittlerweile genau solche, langsamere Prozesse fΓΌr die noch kein MessgerΓ€t erfunden wurde und unsere innersten Werte, Menschlichkeit, Herzens-Intelligenz und Intuition die Richtungen angeben. Das Catalyst Lab hat mich in dieser Demut und Geduld bestΓ€rkt, um das GrΓΆssere, Verbindende schΓ€tzen zu lernen, systemische und strukturelle Verbindungen zu sehen.
Hinein ins kalte Wasser
βIch denke an die Zukunft. Ich weiss, dass wir so lΓ€ngerfristig nicht weiter machen kΓΆnnen. Wir brauchen einen Wandel. Unsere Zukunft und die der zukuΜnftigen Generationen liegt mir unglaublich am Herzen. Irgendwie habe ich mir das alles besser vorgestellt, als stΓ€ndig an diese nicht so vielversprechenden Aussichten zu denken. Ich habe dieses GefuΜhl in mir, dass das alles nicht gerecht ist, und wir das doch Γ€ndern kΓΆnnen, auch wenn es nur kleine Erfolgsschritte sind...β
Echoes From The Future, Vol. 1
This blog is the first out of a series of my own journey into the 2nd cycle of the Catalyst Lab. This first part talks about learning how to listen to the echoes of the future through a collective network. It gives emphasis on the first step that preludes crystalizing a project - a step that is often overseen by society and the one that seems to be a must into real systemic change.
