Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Institute for Appropriate Technology: Develop, demonstrate and disseminate new technologies and methodologies for energy, agriculture, communications, transportation, art and culture with a view towards encouraging regenerative ecology on a finite planet.

We demonstrate whole systems approaches that integrate human development into a regenerative future for our planet. We achieve this by designing eco-neighborhoods, ecovillages, and eco-regions that incorporate permaculture, bioregionalism, regenerative design, holistic management, and emerging tools and methods. We support and disseminate community-based strategies to remove carbon from atmosphere and the ocean and to promote biodiversity and human well-being.

Europe (including Iceland and Greenland)Program ServicesSharing The Presence e.V. Pocket Project, Wardenburg, Germany: One of the most effective approaches to collective trauma integration is the cultivation of coherence and resilience in groups, followed by a process of consciously turning towards and witnessing individual, ancestral, and collective trauma. As we gather people around a shared intention, we have more resources available and can integrate the pain, bit by bit, that could not be processed before. The ensuing release leads to mindset shifts and behavioral change - an increase in compassionate and collaborative ability, creativity and innovation, and a decrease in isolation, polarization and separation. As we reclaim the contents of our unconscious, we become more empowered to create a better world.00$348,671
