(The advertisement in between the videos is kinda annoying, too).

Anyway: they have a stream called “auf den Dächern” (on the roofs – of Berlin), with (among others) an acoustic session of “Florence and the machine”. Check it out here…

What if...

..we do something about climate change?

This is a nicely done website to inform about ecosystem restoration projects worldwide – and it may inspire us all to do a little bit more (towards saving the planet) and use a little bit less (of fossil fuels, etc.). It collects stories of people who have actually done something (or would like, at least). And it’s probably a good place to have your curiosity piqued.

Start repairing the world together on whatifwechange.org!

Instead of the usual traffic jam, you will see lawn and picnic and people sitting in the sun (yes, the summer is back in town – quite on time).

For more information, see www.autofreiestadt.at. See you there!

In this clip, Axel Corti elaborates on the blessings for mankind and society at large of a “gelbes Zimmer”, a yellow-painted room. Enjoy!

If you would like to verify that a yellow-painted room is indeed a blessing for soul and spirit, we now offer tours. Pre-booking not required. Spirits are optional.
