GRAVITYANDGRACE
Five day quest
11–15th June 2026
Near Berlin
As everything accelerates, we're turning toward something slower.
/ The Journey
AI is reshaping the world at breathtaking speed. We stand at a threshold, full of possibility, full of uncertainty, full of questions that we don't yet know how to ask.
For the first time, something more-than-human is speaking back in our own language. How do we reconfigure our sense of humanity in an ever-evolving more-than-human world?
Gravity and Grace is a 5-day immersive residency for anyone who wants to meet this moment with more than just their intellect. Set in abundant nature near Berlin, this is a quest to rediscover what our intuition, senses, and embodied wisdom have to offer, and what it means to be fully human in the Age of Hyper Intelligence.
We'll use somatic experience, sensorial attunement, performance and deep presence to explore these questions, and to become re-enchanted with the extraordinary mystery of being alive.
What kind of relationships are we forming with artificial minds, and what do they reflect about us?
Can embodied awareness guide us toward technology that serves life rather than depletes it?
Are we already cyborgian, and can we consciously shape that evolution?
Rather than escape or submission, what does poetic integration actually look like?
/ The Place & The People
The Place
Ninety kilometres north-east of Berlin, at the edge of the Lower Oder Valley Nature Conservatory, Stolzenhagen is unlike most places you'll find yourself.
Wild landscapes surround it. A member-owned cooperative rooted in collective living and artistic experimentation. The pace is different here.
The People
We bring deep experience across technology, somatic practice, dance, theatre, and group facilitation. We hold space for transformation while honouring each person's autonomy and pace.
Livia Deschermayer
Livia is a multidisciplinary artist and social system designer whose research and practice span governance, cultural systems, ecology and incentive design. Her work examines how contemporary economic and technological conditions reshape human experience and social bonds. She operates at the boundary between embodied and sensorial practice and institutional critique, asking how we perform and thereby shape the systems we inhabit.
Christa Cocciole
Somatic therapist and educator working at the frontier of trauma healing, collective resilience, and regenerative futures. She brings decades of embodied practice to questions of how individuals and communities integrate disruption and what that capacity has to teach us in an era of technological acceleration and social unravelling.
Charlie Fisher
Charlie Fisher's work questions the nature of enclosure. Over fifteen years he has pursued this across land rights, cooperative ownership, institutional decision-making, and now deliberative AI. He leads Komma Systems, building Kair, a platform that uses hardware, NFC consent, and anonymous speaker sensing to make citizen assemblies legible to themselves without surrendering data or agency.
Kate Beecroft
Strategist, organisation designer, and coach whose work centres on extending relationality inside complex networked structures. She draws on bibliotherapy, weaving philosophy, science fiction, and poetry into her leadership coaching practice, as one lens among many for navigating complexity. As a Aletheia coach and practising freediver, she brings somatic and non-ordinary states of awareness as serious epistemological tools for meeting uncertainty.
