WISDOM ACADEMY EVOLVING The Wisdom Academy seeks to educate on the wisdom of nature and its core life principles - from a science perspective as well as based on insights from indigenous and other ancient practices which have proven valid and supportive to all life over time. ​ The first course which is currently under development is one on “holistic vision and system thinking ” - as a core shift in our current worldview, thinking and analysis habits when it comes to designing, implementing and investing in sustainability projects, but also with regards to leading any type of organisation. To reach a state of resilience and act as a truly sustainable player in the overall eco-system requires deep understanding and embodiment of this subject. ​ The next course planned is one on the “basics of ecology ” - made for decision makers in the areas of strategy, investment, CSR and sustainability having a background in business, finance or anything else but the science of the planet and its flora and fauna. ​ Please reach out if you’d like to collaborate on bringing these courses into being.

WISDOM QUEST ON A QUEST FOR WISDOM The world we know is changing quicker than we can grasp it. Challenges everywhere. Ecological collapse. Economic turmoil. Mistrust, societal divide and instability. A widening disparity of wealth and power. Technologies transforming our lives, able to cause great harm - if in the wrong hands. ​ It is hard to stay calm watching all this unfold at an unprecedented speed. The urge is to sprint into action and do something about it. And yes, concrete action is needed. However, not anything will do but the right moves need to be made - this is a strategically important time for the future of our species, and time as well as making steps into the right direction are of the essence. Identifying the root causes of the ailments is key, seeing very clear despite all fog and distractions and acting in unity will be decisive for the next era on this planet. ​ This is a time to be wise. And an opportunity for us to shift into an Age of Wisdom in which we use the assets we have - our time, brain, technology and capital - wisely and in unity for the wellbeing of people and planet. With this, we’d truly live up to our potential as "Homo sapiens ”, wise beings. ​ So what is wisdom? How do we acquire wisdom? What is a wise way to live, to think, to take decisions, to lead, to relate with each other and nature? ​ We have decided to look for answers to these questions this year by visiting Elders from various Wisdom Traditions. As We believe that there is deep wisdom in what survived the trends and storms of time. The Quest (2) Background Thank you & request for support (2) The Quest (2) 1/23 Switzerland I had so many in-depths conversations this time in #davos - it was intriguing. Probably due to me starting most conversations with contemplations & questions around #wisdom. Why? Because I believe that wisdom is a quality that truly makes us "Homo sapiens" - wise beings, a quality worth putting a greater focus on - as it might be the one quality crucial for us to evolve as a species in a way that provides a beautiful quality of life for everyone and in harmony with our inner and outer #nature. I think it's time to evolve beyond knowledge - especially of interest in times of #ai, one of the top themes during the #wef23 week. So what is wisdom? Here is the synthesis of my thoughts and input I got from a diverse range of people - such as business people, AI experts, impact investors, biodiversity specialists, social entrepreneurs, and even a buddhist lama who was present (truly present, by the way) throughout the week. "Wisdom is clarity of mind in tune with one´s heart and aware of one's role and responsibility in life. It has several components: Knowledge, experience, insights taken from the prior two, followed by aligned, coherent decisions and actions. All based on an inner compass that takes into consideration one's own path and needs as well as those of others. It is an inner stillness that has an intricate knowing of our interconnectedness, and that allows a deep understanding of one's inner system as well as an ease to view life from an eagle´s and a system´s perspective" Wondering what your take is on this?

WISDOM LAB A new era needs new approaches of evaluating things, new laws, processes, systems, business and cooperation models, materials and first and foremost: A different mindset . One that is not simply looking for “the next new thing” to buy, invest or promote but one that is discerning, looking for the motivation behind the “new”. Is it serving people & planet? Is it thought through holistically? Is it a band-aid or a cure, a quick fix or a systemically suiting solution? Developing these innovations and new approaches takes courage, time, funding and a supportive environment. As these are not catering to the current logic, the mainstream market demand and they are not the “low hanging fruit” kind of projects. We develop these type of projects in-house and support others (see pioneers ) who dare to do the same with the objective in mind to lay the cornerstones of an Age of Wisdom. ​ Two Wisdom Age Projects are currently under development: The Wisdom Age Index & the Ecological Offsetting Program . Reach out to us to collaborate, role out a pilot with us or co-fund our endeavours. Our current Wisdom Lab projects WISDOM AGE INDEX Reach out to us WAI Our current approach of dealing with problems is to find a quick fix - for this, we identify the apparent culprit (e.g. CO2), gather data about it and focus on finding ways to eradicate it. Indeed it is important to reduce the emission of CO2, however what we fail to do is to take a step back. To see the big picture . CO2 is only one component in our cycle of life and our negative impact on our ecosystem is much larger and multifold - reducing emissions is only one step. Doing this will not be sufficient to maintain climatic conditions on earth that allow our and other species to survive and thrive. To ask ourselves what we actually want . Nobody's deep desire is to reduce CO2. We all want an enhancement of our quality of life. How can we do this in harmony with nature, respecting the boundaries of our planet and the dignity of all beings? To adopt a holistic view and systemic thinking approach to assess the status quo and identify the understanding, culture, systems, collaborations and solutions needed to not only find a fix for a certain problem, such as too much CO2 emissions, but to shift to a truly integrative mode of being. With the Wisdom Age Index we have developed a compass to holistically assess companies, startups and investment projects - as a baseline for a continuous improvement journey to an Age of Wisdom . A compass The WAI is a compass showing the way for companies, startups, and investment projects that wish to positively contribute to protecting our planetary boundaries and to create life quality for all. ​ The first step of the WAI process is to assess the current holistic value the company, startup, or investment project is having for people & planet. Based on this assessment, a systemic development plan is elaborated and implemented step by step with the support of the c-level and throughout the whole company. The WAI is not a rating system, but a journey of continuous, holistic, and step-wise evolution of a company, startup, or investment project towards being a symbiotic, useful entity embedded in its environmental and societal ecosystem. The approach The WAI is based on conscious ecology. Conscious ecology understands that all forms of life have a function performed in their ecosystems, and respect all existing forms and their contained sacredness. It was based on deep ecology and improved using ancient knowledge. The WAI is based on the insight that our benchmark cannot be a "best in class" approach - which means it is not about being "more sustainable" than other companies in the same industry or about fulfilling legal requirements. It is about adhering to and learning from the laws and processes of nature and holistically preparing one's company, startup, or investment project for a new era - integrating the culture and behavior needed to be attractive to investors, employees, and customers, to be systemically sustainable and resilient. ​ To do this, the WAI uses the understanding that we are all living organisms within an ecosystem, applying this principle including the organization in analysis. The WAI focuses on 4 aspects: Leadership - How is the brain and culture of the organism? Eco-Action - What is the relationship between the organism and the natural ecosystem? Building the New - What is the prediction and innovation capacity of the organism? Unity - What is the status of the organism's homeostasis and how are the organism's relationships with its social ecosystem? ECOLOGICAL OFFSETTING PROGRAM Reach out to us Offsetting

The Roadmap Concrete A ction for an Age of Wisdom The current focus is on fixing individual issues such as poverty, gender inequality, climate change, etc. All important problems - however, we believe that they will not be truly solved without a deep paradigm and culture shift within each of us ("inner transformation") and conscious action and collaboration for impact and redesign of our systems ("systemic change") - as it takes both, inner work as well as a critical mass of people coming together to challenge our current system design and implement alternatives that from their core foster the wellbeing of people and planet. We have hence brainstormed, analyzed, and discussed to identify 8 leverage points that we see as key actions, as a Roadmap towards an Age of Wisdom . We invite you to discuss these points in our Wisdom Chamber on Linkedin. The Charter and Roadmap serve us as our framework to develop our offering and choose projects we work with and is meant to be converted from sentences into action, from a written roadmap to a lived reality - one that is co-created with you for the wellbeing of people and the planet . The Age of Wisdom emerges from the here & now. Through everyone of us. A Roadmap to an Age of Wisdom Path of Wisdom Paradigm & Culture Shift Inner Transfor mation UNITY I. We embrace that we are one, that everything is connected and only together, we can make the shift a lived reality. We come together locally, build a community of unity and sense into the knowing - we are many. Together, we are strong. Together, we have power. In unity with ourselves and others, the shift is now. Wisdom Salons I I. We acknowledge and learn from ancient wisdom traditions. And practice applying this timeless wisdom in our daily decisions, habits and actions. So that we may all survive and thrive. By becoming wise stewards of this planet, true guardians of life. Wisdom Gatherings TIMELESS WISDOM FRACTALITY III. We take up a holistic perspective and learn to think, decide and act in systems. By bringing together ancient, indigenous and scientific knowledge, we open our minds for a new kind of thinking, we shift perspective, go beyond CO2 and climate emergency and embrace the systemic nature of the world. Conscious Ecology Course IV. We are the change, and explore a new lifestyle of “elegant simplicity”. We learn from ancient wisdom, reconnect to what we truly need, find joy from within, heal the past and walk the talk of a new culture. Elegant Simplicity Course ELEGANT SIMPLICITY Path of Action Conscious Action & Collaboration Systemic Change WISE REDESIGN V. We redesign our outdated systems . To serve the wellbeing of all life. Our current financial system is divisive, extractive and rather hinders than incentivises peace, equality and a life within our planetary boundaries. We dare to question and explore a wise redesign of this economic system, and of other essential systems such as education, agriculture, health, justice, pensions and governance. Wisdom Chamber VI. We invest for impact. Time and money. With a holistic, catalytic lens, for an Age of Wisdom. We invest our time to identify system changing initiatives (Wisdom Lab) and holistically thought through impact startups (Wisdom Pioneers) - that seek support from deep impact minded investors and philanthropists. Circle of Impact Wisdom Pioneers Wisdom Lab IMPACT INVESTING CO-CREATION VII. We join hands with wisdom keepers, ask their advice for our projects and give our support for theirs.

Path of Wisdom Inner Growth & Understanding Reach out to us See. Understand. Thrive. The only way out is in. Finding a way out of our current crisis mode and into a place of calm, clarity and deeper knowing is key for our individual mental health, as well as the health and stability of our societies and the ecosystem. The scary thing is that for this we need to go within - into the eye of the storm . We need to be with what we tend to avoid: Our inner world, wild nature and the unlearning of our way of being, thinking and doing things. Transforming our systems requires an inner transformation, a shift in worldview, perspectives and long trained habits. Entering into an Age of Wisdom means shaping a new culture , from within. Within individuals and organisations. Walking the path of wisdom is courageous, but very rewarding. And it means leading the way to a new era , and being at the cutting edge of human evolution: The expansion of our consciousness . As a base for the reconnection to our inner knowing and natural wisdom.

WISDOM PIONEERS Entrepreneurs manifesting the shift Pathfinders to an Age of Wisdom There are always people ahead of their times , not swimming along in the main river of tradition or trends but going deeper and beyond what is considered the norm. They are the path finders that ease the way for others; extraordinary minds that dare to follow their hearts , do not mind taking risks, are called utopians and unrealistic. Until they find a way to prove their point, to manifest what earlier only existed in their minds and what they were called to do. The world developed due to such pioneers . Of these we now need a specific type: Wise ones. These wisdom pioneers create from the inside out, hold a holistic view and apply system thinking. They do not scare away from exploring the inner and outer realms of what is possible and show extraordinary creativity, resilience and capability in communicating and cooperating with their immediate and wider ecosystem to realise their vision. They do this with the greater good in mind and through this establish a platform for the Age of Wisdom to emerge. Their wisdom and conscious action are the seeds we need as a species to flourish .
