School of Enough – Jan 2025

In January 2025 I offered a lecture / workshop around GTDF frameworks and embodied practices, to participants of this very interesting program, created and coordinated by Christophe Meierhans.

A little bit about the School of Enough:

How to disconnect the idea of advancement and progress from that of growth, and to (re)connect our collective desires with the idea of limits? How to transform the image of doing and producing less into a positive one, an ideal worth striving for? How can “enough” become a synonym for “beautiful”? Rational and scientific arguments alone are unlikely to succeed at it; figures don’t make a culture. A more integrated approach is needed in which strategies for building up political power and the courage to oppose effective resistance go hand in hand with speaking to the sensual, aesthetic, poetic and spiritual dimensions of life. By speaking to the senses, by crafting new imaginaries and desires, artistic practices have an essential role to play in this battle for hearts and minds. The question is how to best put them to work.

The School of Enough is a 2 year programme that fosters collaborations between activist and artistic practices around the multiple social, political, environmental and cultural challenges of a post-growth transformation of our lifestyles. The programme explores this field of thinking and practice collectively through a process of co-learning and mutual support.
