Let’s grow together
Welcome to The Garden
The Garden is a sanctuary, playground and research facility for those committed to inner and outer regeneration. United in purpose, we are a collective of change-makers, scientists, artists, process designers, meditators, coaches and philosophers, dedicated to nurturing individual and collective flourishing through the power of community, compassion and collaboration.
The world is currently facing increasingly complex challenges, climate change, AI, social inequality to name just a few. How we respond to these challenges will decide what the future of our planet will look like. We believe that resolving the current crises will need nothing less than a collective cultural enlightenment. Towards this goal we focus on three main areas:
Inner cultivation – The seeds of the garden
We believe that in many ways ‘(R)Evolution is an inside job’ and see deep self-exploration and self-transformation as necessary ingredients for overcoming our global challenges. Within our community of inner cultivation we provide support for individual seedlings on their way to blossom into full-grown beautiful flowers, becoming more mindful, compassionate and wise.
Community-Building – The soil of the garden
Community is at the heart of everything we do. Our focus is on building both local and global communities and nurturing social environments that enable our naturally inherent prosocial tendency to surface. Creating this healthy ‘social soil’ involves cultivating wholesome group spaces characterised by trust, care and belonging.
Planetary coherence – The global garden
We realise that systemic problems need systemic solutions. We focus on raising our collective level of consciousness and increasing our global capacity for sense-making, choice-making and collective action. We create events and workshops in person and online to discuss and act on relevant topics for solving the meta-crisis.

Projects and offers
Growing Together Workshop Series
Growing Together is a community-based action research workshop series exploring how practices for inner, relational and collective regeneration. Together as participant-researchers, we’ll practise tools for inner resilience, mutual support, and collective intelligence, asking: What do we need to learn, practise and embody—individually and collectively—to not go extinct, but to thrive? Or, in simpler terms: how do we turn this ship around?
Becoming Sound App
Becoming Sound is a space for vibrational meditation, blending chanting with immersive sound journeys to relax your nervous system, release stress, and reconnect you to yourself. Rooted in ancient wisdom and backed by modern research, chanting can calm the mind, ease tension, and support emotional healing. Explore our sound journeys, tuned to resonant frequencies, and let your voice become a tool for release and renewal.
Inner (R)Evolution
Inner (R)Evolution is a ten-week deep dive into the inner art and science of transforming ourselves and our relationship with the world. The course combines the wisdom and meditative techniques of the ancient contemplative traditions of Buddhism and Daoism with the insights of modern psychology, neuroscience and philosophy. The experience takes place within a community of practice and support using a microsolidarity framework.
What We Agree On
What We Agree On (WWAO) is a free event series designed to enhance our collective capacity to make sense of the world in these volatile times. Together we will dive into critical topics, engage in meaningful discussions, and collaboratively form consensus on pressing issues. With WWAO we want to nurture the emergence of islands of coherence, characterised by high trust, safety and benevolence, which can grow into a network of informed, action-ready communities. Join us and be part of shaping a collective path forward, one agreement at a time.
Becoming Sound art installation
Becoming Sound is an immersive audio-haptic experience generated by the vibrations of the human voice and enhanced by technological means. It combines the ancient art of chanting with modern sound design and deep vibration. The Becoming Sound experience can range from feelings of relaxation and a clear, peaceful state of mind to feelings of oneness and bliss. The ultimate aim of the experience is to enable practitioners to dissolve their mundane identity and “become sound”.
Ship It Week
Ship-It-Week is a 10-day co-living and co-working retreat at Casa Tilo, set in the serene Mont Negre national park. It’s a space to bring your ideas to life — with focus, flow, and a supportive crew by your side. Whether you’re whether you are building an app, revamping your website, writing that article, filming your next video or launching a workshop, we’ll share meals, feedback, and inspiration while helping each other stay on course. With nourishing food, fast Wi-Fi, relaxed vibes (and a little celebration), it’s the perfect balance of work and connection.
