We paint a comprehensive picture of human wisdom and networking, striving for a holistic understanding of resilience. To make this perspective tangible, we use narratives. These narratives encompass scientific categories of the Anthropocene, ancient stories from antiquity, and deeply personal insights. We believe that the connections of humans with nature as well as with our inner selves will be crucial to develop forward-looking attitudes. Our perception of the world determines what we see, feel, and the actions we undertake. By using legends, fairy tales, and stories of sustainability and resilience, we aim to reconnect us. The essence of wisdom lies in the courage to write our own individual narratives as a contribution to the broader picture and to listen to each other with open hearts.
