Imagine, surrounded by the splendour of the Engadine valley, in the forests, meadows, mountains, glaciers, on paths and roads: an exploratory journey is happening and radically shared aliveness is being discovered – and you are part of it!

The circle of our applied researchers consists of about 50 people from many parts of the world who dedicate their lives to social transformation and developing livable futures for our children and grandchildren. In particular, they are dedicated to recognising the equal worth of all living beings. We call them Firekeepers and we meet annually in August in Pontresina.

For the weekend we open the WorldEthicForum to all who want to experience and celebrate «radically shared aliveness» together with our Firekeepers.

The programme includes a «Long Night of Inversions”, a performance premiere, hikes, workshops and encounters with plants and animals, with ethic as action and philosophy, with new forms of economy and living together, with music, art and body – in short: with nature and culture. Here old and young meet. Here the local, the Alps, the Engadine valley are connected with global forces and challenges. Here old knowledge is shared for the new time. With a lot of dialogue and listening.

This year’s journey is framed with the leitmotif …there’s a crack in everything… – «radically shared aliveness» also means that we perceive how much sadness, suffering and trauma is in the world. And that we’re also digging under the skin.
