Our Living Future Europe Biophilic Camp that took place over 4 days at FeliZitas Sud-Tyrol in the Italian Dolomites was a truly nourishing and grounding experience.
The ‘retreat’ brought into being something that will stay with me, and all of us, for a very long time, with the conviction that more, all, regenerative sessions and biophilia events should be like this … co-creating conditions for all life to thrive … through nurturing our own personal, inner biophilia.

Reflections on driving on what will be the coolest 11 July for years, if not decades to come.
Even though it was the hottest of the year so far, it may well be the coolest 11th of July for years and decades into the future.
On the hottest day of the year so far, I had reason to do something I had not done for a good while, in fact since before Covid, to drive a fair distance on business-related activities. Like many other drivers I had air-conditioning cranked up, but unlike many grateful for having an EV particularly given current high fuel costs.
Driving long distances gives that time for reflection and thinking. Like musing on the potential from an EV, which in current hot temperatures and a warm battery gave improved capacity and improved efficiency of miles per kwhr. OK its not perfect, given the battery sourcing issues, and energy to charge the battery has to come from somewhere, in this case, a mix of renewables and unknown from public chargers.
