Hi, I'm Friederike.

Thinkfarm is an office community in which we work, share and learn with each other in a self-organized and solidary way.

In the shared office with about 55 desk spaces, initiatives, companies, self-employed people and scientists interconnect in order to work towards social-ecological change, to embody it themselves and to make the most of collective synergies.

In addition to focusing on social-ecological projects, the group's own practice is constantly being challenged.

From 2016-2017 Dragon Dreaming Berlin-Brandenburg was a solidarity-based working community of Dragon Dreaming facilitators with additional qualifications, organized as a cooperative and functioning according to the principles of an Empty Centered Organization. As process facilitators we accompanied co-creative group processes with holistic methods for project design and passed on our knowledge in workshops and trainings.
