The Dowsers

Since 2019, we have been sending small groups of volunteers from all professions to settle in the most isolated corners of the planet. Whether in the inhospitable mountains of Kamchatka or the vast Bavarian forests, these participants—outfitted by the Foundation—must continue to fulfill the duties of their urban jobs while simultaneously attending to bivouac maintenance and food gathering, following the procedures set out in their training. A perfect embodiment of the term “digital nomads,” remote work here is taken to its extreme, propelling research on reintegrating humanity into the natural biome and our compatibility with it—in other words, on the “terraforming” of humankind.
