MYCELIUM DINNERS Rooted Stories. Shared Tables. A Mycelium Dinner is an intimate gathering of up to 8 people, each bringing a small, shareable dish — and a story. The dish you bring is more than food; it’s a thread from your roots: a memory, a culture, an ingredient, or a person who once nourished you. As we move through an 8-course meal, each person becomes both host and guest, taking turns to share their dish and the story it carries. We listen deeply. We connect through the senses — taste, scent, voice, presence. This is not about performance or perfection. It’s about honoring where we come from, and weaving a table of belonging, dish by dish, story by story. Each dinner is also a space for action: the initiator selects one of GIA’s projects to briefly present and fundraise for, inviting guests to join hands and contribute toward wise, grounded change. Host a Mycelium Dinner in your home, garden, or shared space — and watch how quickly strangers become kin, and stories become seeds for a new way forward. IMPRESSIONS Photos at the Co-Creation Loft , Berlin READY TO HOST? Let’s grow a global web of story-rich dinners What if we made it one Mycelium Dinner every week? That’s 52 moments of deep connection in a year. 52 chances to gather, listen, share, and shift something real. Now imagine 100 dinner hosts across the world doing the same — that’s over 5,000 dinners a year. Thousands of stories told, thousands of roots honored, thousands of small dishes shared. And thousands of euros raised — not just for food, but for Indigenous-led projects, for community healing, for wise action. Can we weave this global mycelium web — one dinner at a time? You don’t need to be a chef. You just need a table, a few chairs, and the willingness to host from the heart. Be the spark — host a Mycelium Dinner in your community. Become a host

Partners Aligned Become one A fractal of shared purpose Co-creating, co-weaving and co-evolving In nature, a fractal reveals how every part reflects the whole—each pattern unique, yet connected, expanding in ever-deepening complexity and beauty. This is the spirit of partnership at GIA. Our partners are aligned in vision, diverse in form. They bring their unique angles—financial expertise, technological innovation, regenerative land practices, healing arts, education, and more—to co-create a wiser, more compassionate future. We believe that no single organization holds all the answers. But together, through dialogue, trust, and shared action, we can reveal powerful, integrated solutions. Partnerships at GIA are not transactional—they are alive, based on mutual respect, co-learning, and long-term commitment to planetary flourishing. We are currently in conversation with aligned partners who support the GIA ecosystem with resources, insight, and care. As we grow, so too does the fractal - organically, beautifully, purposefully. If you feel resonance and sense we might build something meaningful together, we warmly invite you to reach out Reach out "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

The Earth Elders , a Wisdom Keepers Delegation , and the Earthrise Collective will each bring 4–6 elders. It will be a circle of wisdom, blessings, and visions for the future — guided by the Elders, guardians of ancestral knowledge who will help us integrate the learnings of COP30 and plant seeds for the regeneration of the Earth. At this critical moment for our planet, when the future of humanity and nature depends on our ability to listen deeply and act with courage, such a gathering offers space to pause, reflect, and align with ancestral wisdom for the path ahead. To make this possible, we are seeking to raise €50,000 in total. A suggested contribution is around €5,000 per seat, which helps cover the costs of travel, accommodation, organic meals, and stipends for the Elders. Contributions of different amounts are also welcome, as every gesture brings us closer to making this transformative experience possible. Any surplus raised will be entrusted to the Elders’ delegations to support their ongoing initiatives and collective work. We are opening 10 seats in the circle for those who feel called to join us in this profound exchange and co-visioning for the future. If this call resonates with you, it would be a joy to welcome you into the circle.

Wisdom Council Weaving bridges - between the modern world and indigenous wisdom GIAs wisdom council consists of indigenous Elders and whenever possible the person they chose from the next generation to be their successor in carrying and embodying their wisdom tradition. We have a special and personal connect to these Elders and aim to support the spreading of their wisdom as per their wishes, connect them to Elders from other traditions and work with them to co-develop and implement projects in and for their communities. Our approach is one of partnership as we have much to learn from and give to each other. Ancient wisdom traditions can guide the modern world to evolve into an Age of Wisdom. And the modern world can support indigenous communities with the willingness to learn and listen, and with consciously applied capital, technology and administrative expertise we can jointly develop, realise and own projects that allow to preserve biodiversity, the essence of indigenous culture while healing old wounds and empowering indigenous communities.

DEEP TALKS Conversations that matter. Deep Talks is a gathering format developed by Berlin-based coach and facilitator Julia Singh to move us from small talk to real talk. In groups of 12–20, we meet around a meaningful theme—like belonging, courage, wealth or change—and dive into several guided rounds of intimate, reflective conversation. Within just a few hours, strangers often feel like friends. It’s a simple, powerful way to reconnect with what’s human in each of us. In partnership with Julia, we offer Deep Talks—spaces of presence, trust, and insight to foster real connections, relationships that nourish and communities of trust. Do you love deep talks? Would you like to bring Deep Talks to your own city or community? You can become a trained Deep Talk host, mentored directly by Julia, and help grow this global practice of meaningful conversation. Let's keep the deep talk flowing. Train as a Deep Talk host
