getting involved

The Höllbachhof-project is aiming towards creating values that money can't by. Even though we gratefully receive financial support in many ways that will go towards developing the project, the heart of the project can only continue to beat through the honorary engagement of our friends and sponsors. Because there is always more work then we can handle, we are very happy about active support in small things as well as in big ones. This can be a single contribution or a long term, regular co-operation.

what does sustainability
mean for you?

Sustainability: a New Definition of Prosperity
For many people the debate about sustainability is an uncomfortable, even scary subject. Often they feel that their standard of living is threatened and that sustainability means they would personally have to give up things to which  they  have  become attached. The concern of the Center for Research and Education Höllbachhof is to bring a comprehensive definition of prosperity to the fore, a definition that shows that a culture of sustainability does not primarily involve giving up something, but is much more concerned with gaining something we have lost.

“be the change”
symposium

Through dynamic group interactions, leading edge information, and inspiring multimedia, participants of this half-day event are inspired to reconnect with their deep concern for our world, and are empowered to make a difference.

Designed with the collaboration of some of the finest scientific, indigenous and activist minds in the world, the Symposium explores the current state of our planet from a new perspective, and connects participants with a powerful global movement to reclaim our future.

It is an exploration of four questions

Where Are We? – an examination of the state of environmental, social and personal well-being

How did We Get Here? – tracing the root causes that lead to our current imbalance

What’s Possible for the Future? – discovering new ways of relating with each other, with the Earth and looking at the emerging Movement for change

Where Do We Go from Here? – considering the stand we want to be in the world and our personal and collective impact

If you are ready to be disturbed, inspired and moved to action, and to be introduced to a thriving community of committed cohorts, then join us in exploring the most critical concerns of our times, and discover new opportunities to make a real difference in accelerating the emergence of an environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling, and socially just human presence on this planet!

We live in a time of fast change. In many of us something begins to stir, that maybe in the beginning we can hardly name, but starts to appear more and more. For us at Höllbachhof the connection to people, communities and ideas are moved by the same power and are very important. Because the internet offers us the  possibility to connect consciously to so many people, we would like to contribute to the sustainability movement worldwide.. We will provide links to organizations that have inspired us and to initiatives we are able to collaborate with. Of course even after carefully selecting them, we can not take any responsibility for the content of the linked pages. They also do not necessarily reflect our opinion. In the end, one has to explore and study the subject and decide for yourself your own opinion. Enjoy the surfing!
