Manifesto

Spirituality holds a unique and individual meaning for everyone, and each person walks their own spiritual path. However, the essential foundation for any spiritual experience is the connection to the life energy within us.

This life force, present in all of us, connects us to one another. Broadly speaking, every spiritual experience, philosophy, or religion centers on this connection. The terminology may differ depending on culture, language, or origin—whether referred to as the Great Spirit, God, love, life energy, higher self, quantum field, universe, or something else—but the name is ultimately irrelevant.

The fundamental desire to feel connected to a greater order that unites all things has been a universal human pursuit throughout history.

Spirituality is not an escape but a journey inward. It is also aligned with the laws of nature and does not judge us. Concepts of good and bad, heaven and hell, are human constructs. Heaven or hell exists in the present—here on Earth.

Each person decides for themselves whether to experience heaven or hell. In nature and spirituality, there is only boundless unity, where everything is connected. We are all part of it, and everything is part of us.

On my own journey, certain experiences have helped me rediscover this connection to life energy, myself, and everything around me. These included ceremonies with ayahuasca and several experiences with psychedelic mushrooms.

Following these profound moments, I practiced meditation and yoga daily and participated in various retreats. Joint activities like singing and dancing during these retreats, as well as my time at the Peace Community of Tamera in Portugal, were particularly impactful.

Spirituality also encompasses communication and cooperation with non-visible beings or receiving messages from the universe. These experiences are available to everyone who is open and truly receptive. Visiting spiritual sites, such as stone circles that have been used worldwide for millennia to send and receive messages, can also be deeply enriching.

Everyone has the freedom to choose their spiritual path and determine the right time to embark on it. Feeling love for yourself and for all people, living beings, and the environment—living in the here and now without judgment but with acceptance—is a rewarding way of life.

This mindset brings the most beautiful feelings: gratitude, forgiveness, love, and openness. You begin to feel that life is abundant, creativity awakens, and you sense the world’s unwavering support. Time pressure, stress, and worries no longer dominate your life.

The search for spirituality and a connection to life energy is a universal human endeavor with many paths. Some find fulfillment through religious practices, while others connect deeply with nature. Meditation may be the chosen route for some, while others experience spiritual fulfillment through art and music.

Whatever the path, the key is to better understand yourself and create a deeper connection to the world within and around you.

The spiritual journey is shaped by diverse influences, whether personal experiences, encounters with inspiring teachers, or exploring various belief systems. It is a process of awakening, gradually realizing that everything is interconnected.

You begin to see that the perceived separation between yourself and others is an illusion. This realization opens your heart to the unity of all life.

There is no fixed timeline for this journey. Each individual progresses at their own pace. Some may experience profound spiritual breakthroughs quickly, while others take years or decades. The important thing is to be patient and enjoy the process without fixating on a specific destination.

The connection to life energy brings a deep sense of peace and inner fulfillment, as if a profound puzzle has been solved, filling your life with meaning. You start to see beauty in life’s simplest aspects and feel profound gratitude for everything you encounter.

On this spiritual path, challenges and obstacles may arise. Moments of doubt or distractions from external influences are part of the journey. These challenges offer opportunities for growth and learning, ultimately strengthening your connection to life energy.

Ultimately, connecting with life energy leads to a profound understanding of your true self, beyond societal roles and external identities. You realize you are not an isolated individual but an inseparable part of a greater whole.

You no longer feel alone but part of a boundless unity with all that exists.

First of all, it is extremely important that we are honest with ourselves.
Only then can we be honest with others.

To promote honesty within the community, it is essential not to judge people—neither ourselves nor others—especially not for emotions and thoughts that are inherently truthful.

Only the truth is what interests us.

But what is the truth?

Truth exists on many different levels simultaneously, which is why we often disagree on what the truth is. We experience it on different levels. There is a universal truth and an individual truth, both of which operate concurrently.

What we do know is that truth always comes from the heart. Everyone can feel in their heart when the real truth is spoken.

Sharing the truth should be an act of service to the other person, not an attempt to prove that we are right.
This means that we should only share our truth with people we deeply care about and love.

This aligns with the awareness that someone does not have to lie just because we think we know a different truth.

This awareness enables boundless trust, which is indispensable. Trust that everyone is always giving their best, giving as much as they can, and only taking as much as they need. This applies to all areas of life—work, love, food, relationships, etc. When these principles are upheld, open communication arises naturally.

Unfortunately, our current society is far removed from this ideal. Most people's daily lives are characterized by mistrust, control, and lies.

According to recent findings, everyone lies twice a day!
This is particularly harmful to the person who lies. Everyone knows the discomfort felt when lying, telling half-truths, or concealing something. A sense of connection can never develop this way. Lying is not natural, but societal systems—patriarchy, capitalism, monoculture, and racism—have normalized lying.

We not only reject lying, concealing, and mistrust, but we also reject control. As long as we try to control others, we will also be controlled.

The only way to experience freedom is to let go of control.

This does not mean passivity or neglect. On the contrary, it means taking responsibility and making the best out of every life situation.

However, this does not mean that the entire external world will align with our wishes. It does mean that we actively influence our surroundings, but in harmony with the laws of nature.

To be trusted by others and to know that you are not being judged or held responsible for others' emotions is like a super boost toward inner bliss.
This allows us to be 100% ourselves—like little children—and let life energy and joy flow through us.
This is not just a theory; it is a guarantee.

Open communication requires concrete tools to be effective.

One such tool is the Forum.

The Forum promotes awareness, trust, and communication. It is a transformative process for inner work in groups and provides a holistic, creative platform for individuals to express themselves and explore deeper truths.

FORUM is a ritualized form of transparent communication for larger groups. It relies on trained moderators. One person, "the moderator," steps into the center of the group circle to speak. It is an existential stage that engages the speaker's entire being—physically, verbally, emotionally, and creatively.

The Forum is more than just a technique; it is a culture-building process grounded in high human and ethical values. It fosters transparency and comprehensibility for all participants.

We can only bring as much peace into the world as we cultivate within ourselves. True change starts from the inside out, which is why we dedicate this space to joy, creativity, movement, and music—universal languages that connect us all.

Not everyone resonates with spirituality, but everyone can access inner peace through activities that spark joy and self-expression. That’s why we consciously create space for dance, music, art, and play, encouraging people to follow what lights them up. When we allow ourselves to experience pure bliss and creative flow, we gain the energy and strength to show up fully in all aspects of life.

Yet, it is often our own mind that holds us back—convincing us that we don’t deserve to do what we love. The key is to step into the present moment, let go of burdens from the past, and immerse ourselves in the beauty of life. By consciously making time for what brings us joy—and sharing these moments with others—we cultivate a deep sense of inner harmony.

This is why we organize regular events that celebrate movement, music, and creativity, providing a space where we can collectively tap into this energy. But this isn’t about escaping reality—it’s about using our joy as a force of compassion and connection. As we dance, sing, and create, we also hold space for those who need this joy the most. We invite you to share your light, give your energy, and spread the essence of life itself.

The world we live in is shaped by economic and social systems that have strayed far from the natural laws of balance, cooperation, and abundance. If we want to build something new, we must first understand why the current system is failing—so we don’t repeat the same mistakes.

Many experts recognize that capitalism, as it exists today, is unsustainable. A system based on endless growth, debt, and profit-driven priorities will inevitably collapse. Yet, most people can imagine the end of the world before they can imagine the end of capitalism—a sign of how deeply ingrained it is in our collective psyche. But none of us were ever asked whether we wanted to live in this system.

Business itself is not the issue—creating value and exchanging goods or services is a fundamental part of human cooperation. The problem is that our current financial system is controlled by a select few, who have the power to print money, manipulate economies, and direct resources toward what is most profitable rather than what best serves humanity and the planet.

Imagine playing a game of Musical Chairs, but instead of just losing a seat, the consequences are losing your home, your job, or your ability to provide for your family. This is how the global economy functions today—built on artificial scarcity, ensuring that not everyone can succeed. And rather than questioning the system, we are encouraged to compete against one another, believing it is the only way forward. But what if we changed the rules of the game?

To envision a post-capitalist and post-patriarchal future, we need to look back to a time when life’s essentials were freely available—air, water, fire, and land. Many of the things that are monetized today, from childcare to food production, were once shared responsibilities within communities. In the past, if someone’s house burned down, the community came together to rebuild it, rather than relying on insurance companies.

Modern economic systems have encouraged individualism over cooperation, with personal wealth replacing communal well-being. However, new models are emerging that prioritize local self-sufficiency, shared ownership, and regenerative economies.

Our work is dedicated to researching and co-creating alternative ways of living and exchanging resources. Some key principles include:

• Self-sustaining communities where people contribute based on their skills—some grow food, others build houses, cook, teach, or specialize in renewable energy.
• Shared and gift economies, already practiced in thousands of intentional communities worldwide.
• Land ownership by the people who live on it, preventing speculation and ensuring long-term stability.
• Local currencies and decentralized financial systems, made more accessible through blockchain technology, giving power back to the communities rather than centralized banks.
• Collaborative networks between communities, creating a system of mutual support rather than dependence on global corporations.

These models already exist, but they require experimentation, adaptation, and collective effort to grow. We are committed to exploring, building, and refining this vision in collaboration with other communities and organizations.
