Rootedness
Like a plant committed to place, we rediscover the power of staying, of belonging, of deep relationship with one place.
"We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims."
— Buckminster Fuller
A Living Laboratory
Erdpuls Müllrose
Where technology and nature collaborate to deepen our understanding of living systems
Rooted in place and history at the heart of Europe — where ancient glaciers carved pristine streams through mixed forests, where biodiversity still thrives in one of Brandenburg's most treasured landscapes.
Protected Nature Park with exceptional biodiversity
90km east of Berlin, accessible by regional train
Near Polish border, fostering cross-cultural exchange
Rich history of water mills and land stewardship
Philosophy
What if technology and nature are not
What if technology and nature are not
opposites but complementary?
Reciprocity
Drawing from Ubuntu — "I am because we are" — our economic model recognizes that value flows in multiple directions.
Symbiosis
Technology and nature maintain their distinct identities while supporting each other. Digital tools serve ecological awareness.
Our Approach
Three streams, one river
Sustainability Literacy
Rigorous understanding of complex systems, data literacy, and the scientific method. Sensor networks make the invisible visible.
Permaculture Design
Practical patterns from living ecosystems. Regenerative design and whole-systems thinking applied through direct action in the garden.
Contemplative Practice
Deep perception through Goethean science and phenomenological observation. Learning to "think like a plant".
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
Buckminster Fuller Designer, Systems Theorist
