The multi-day public event of the World Ethic Forum 2024

Rondo Congress Center, Pontresina (CH)

Pathways to an ethic of radically shared aliveness

We are engaged in the search for the heart of change. This requires openness, a willingness to say goodbye to entrenched solution models and a departure into the unknown towards experiences and events that take us by surprise.

This year, we will meet again and immerse ourselves in exploring practices, contents and realisations of time-based ethics across sectors and cultures.

The Heart of Change is:

A festival of workshops, concerts, cinema, performances and outdoor experiences.

An invitation to awe and wonder.

A celebration of radically shared aliveness.

Join us and find your very own connection with the heart of change in stunning Pontresina.

The varied program includes shared meals, workshops of all kinds, conversations and stillness. It invites us to linger, reflect and learn from and with each other.

We are outside, exchanging ideas, consciously connecting with our surroundings, tickling our sense of perception. With music, movement and theatre, we experience, in the company of people from all over the world, what forces are released in us when the heart of change begins to beat.

It is one thing to talk about ethics and the heart of change, but how do we live what we see as our calling?

Here is a first overview of our rich program:

ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS

The workshop program is composed as a bouquet of diverse invitations, explorations and reflections on core aspects and important perspectives when we talk about the heart of change.

The World Ethic Forum wants to offer a convergence space, preconditions and fertile ground for being in active exploration, embodied practices and dialogue that are inspired by deep listening, connecting unlikely dots, and being in mutual learning together.

They are inspired by art, social and embodied practices that all aim at nurturing and invigorating relationships with more than the habitable ways and the more than human realms.
