What We Do
We create the conditions for transformation: personal, cultural, and systemic. Through living systems, learning experiences, research, and collaboration, Life Itself is cultivating prototypes for a regenerative future.
Where conscious living becomes practice.
Intentional communities and residencies, once in Berlin and London, now nestled in the south of France, invite immersion into co-living and experimentation. Lasting change grows in places where people truly meet, where curiosity becomes belonging, and shared purpose becomes practice.
Explore the Hubs
Exploring the questions that shape the Second Renaissance.
Collaborative circles probing culture, systems, and transformation with humility and depth: a collective action of exploration at the edges of systems thinking, culture, and imagination. Amid a growing field of sense-making, we build partnerships, convene thoughtful dialogue, and publish work that orients both newcomers and seasoned explorers.
Join Research CollectiveA hopeful future depends on the quality of our inner lives.
Our awareness, our relationships, our capacity to grow. We co-design courses, retreats, and learning journeys that support multiple dimensions of inner development and weave them directly into efforts for systemic and social change. From embodiment retreats to developmental programs, we bridge inner work with collective action.
Explore Learning Journeys
Connecting seekers, artists, and system-thinkers daring new ways of being.
Across the world, creative and courageous people are carrying the threads of new-paradigm thinking and practice. We work to strengthen this emerging fabric, building partnerships across disciplines, and connecting thinkers, artists, communities, and organisations exploring post-conventional ways of life.
Partner With UsWe are living through an era of profound transition, one marked by cascading crises, but also by the possibility of renewal. The systems that shaped the modern world are fracturing in ways that can no longer be repaired. What we face is not only ecological or political, but a metacrisis: a crisis of meaning, imagination, and worldview.
At this threshold, Life Itself works to give form and voice to a hopeful new cultural paradigm, one rooted in wisdom, regeneration, and deeper relationship with life. Whether this age is remembered for collapse or for renewal depends on our willingness to transform, now. To cultivate a Second Renaissance requires ways of being and seeing that stretch beyond the modern imagination.
Life Itself is dedicated to catalyzing a deep transformation in culture and society; one that enables new horizons of human and ecological flourishing. Our aim is to foster conditions in which all life can thrive, and in which we collectively develop the capacity to meet, and ultimately transcend, the ecological, social, and spiritual crises of our time.
The following short narrative and theory of change trace the path from our core conviction, that profound yet practical shifts are urgently required, to the concrete actions we are undertaking to bring this transformation into being.
