On each Saturday and Sunday afternoon throughout November, we take up a central theme in a panel on which people from around the world share ideas, raise new questions not previously considered, and form working groups to address them. Over the years, we build a social sculpture that unites experts from a wide range of disciplines into one superintelligence.
Each panel of the Larnaca Conferences Online has the same schedule:
- after purchasing a ticket, you will receive the link to the key note, which all participants will watch asynchronously beforehand
- in the first hour of the panel, 4-5 experts will give a statement on the key note, each from their own perspective.
- after that the groups Audience and Backstage will separate as follows:
Audience continues the dialogue in the chat, accompanied by an online expert and a chat moderator. Backstage ticket holders can spend two one-hour facilitated breakout sessions at and with a panelist of choice, continuing discussion and networking. In both cases, the goal is to uncover blind spots and raise new questions. Essences from chat and breakouts will be posted on Carl Auer in the aftermath.
Ticket proceeds go directly to building FORMWELT Online, the platform for systemic education and understanding-oriented communication worldwide. FORMWELT will become the language for global understanding.

Johanna Geisenhainer, Zero Waste Chef, Switzerland
26-year-old professional Chef Jo (Johanna Geisenhainer) recently took up an amazing challenge: leaving her promising career in a Michelin-starred restaurant to travel the world on a small sailboat, while giving online ZERO-WASTE cooking classes from her tiny, 2m2 floating kitchen. Her classes aim to teach everything about Leaf to Root and Nose to Tail cooking techniques, including pro chef hacks, gardening tips and DIY-secrets for developing a sustainable kitchen! For her, cooking is about creating something greater than the sum of its parts - achieving harmony between palette and planet and bringing out the best of what
nature has to offer. Training as a professional chef was no easy task but was a logical step for her to share the love and passion she has for food and for nature. Her message is simple: we ALL can change the world-starting at home, using so called ‘waste’ to create delicious, nutritious, and ecological meals for ourselves, and our friends and family. By using food resources more efficiently, we get more out of every ingredient we buy, encouraging more responsible and efficient consumption. Doing all of this from a small sailboat kitchen just goes to show - you don’t need anything fancy to cook with conscience – only curiosity, and a passion for the planet.

Hans Kluge, Germany
“I probably don’t know the solution, though I admire the problem.” – Hans Kluge is creative nerd, agile project manager and systemic coach. With his leading question on “how to make work prettier” he is questioning organisational structures and preceding traditions. As a generalist he’s thinking beyond, tries out and enables in the given context.
After a standard business administration study and the according career-driven track through corporations and agencies the dissonance between the how we work and what we do grew. Starting a journey to find the more and future fitting solutions he stumbled upon
new work, agile methods, systems theory, systemic coaching, and other mindset bricks assembling an overall image. The guiding principle “I probably don’t know, let us find that out together” accompanied Hans to work freelance.
As a multidimensional bridge builder between tradition and future he is dedicated to project management with integrated coaching. In the scope of graphic and web/IT he provides creative eruptions and solutions outside the box.
Moderating and facilitating parts of the Larnaca Conference is an exciting trip in Hans’ journey for finding new future fitting solutions – leastwise knowing how to create them. Furthermore, he continues his FORMwelt research with practical utilization.
How and why the growth motivated and globally ruling economy of today fires our waste of energy and natural resources and thereby eats up our means to build the infrastructure of renewable energy for the future.

Taken three years, she and her team create an innovative business platform called LinKeYou (which, in Chinese, means “Neighbors are Friends”) that focus on the community business.

They wants to create a loving and sustainable community that can be organized automatically with a long-term local economic prosperity. And the value of people would be amplified in the community.
The three interactive scenarios respectively are: [Stroytelling] to inspire and interpret the future lifestyle and make people feel active and hopeful about the trend. [Innovation Design Workshop] enables people to collaborate and eliminate self-limitation and excessive competitive habit. [Conviviality Club], the self-organized groups that can enhance the matching and integration of information and resources in community.
[LinKeYou] is builded by the localism working scenario, that people can find jobs or start businesses within a 20-minute walking neighborhood community. And the work will nourish their personal development and with creativity and decent income. Meanwhile, the enterprise side gains greater personal with integrated capabilities, relatively wages expense cost down (achieved through distributed management efficiencies), management efficiency upgrade, and a developing and implementing teams that suit for localism community businesses.

With his leading question on “how to make work prettier” he is questioning organisational structures and preceding traditions. As a generalist he’s thinking beyond, tries out and enables in the given context.
After a standard business administration study and the according career-driven track through corporations and agencies the dissonance between the how we work and what we do grew. Starting a journey to find the more and future fitting solutions he stumbled upon
new work, agile methods, systems theory, systemic coaching, and other mindset bricks assembling an overall image. The guiding principle “I probably don’t know, let us find that out together” accompanied Hans to work freelance.
As a multidimensional bridge builder between tradition and future he is dedicated to project management with integrated coaching. In the scope of graphic and web/IT he provides creative eruptions and solutions outside the box.
Moderating and facilitating parts of the Larnaca Conference is an exciting trip in Hans’ journey for finding new future fitting solutions – leastwise knowing how to create them. Furthermore, he continues his FORMwelt research with practical utilization.

Gitta Peyn, systems researcher and cyberneticist, co-developer of FORMWELT and WELTFORM, founder of the FORMWELTen Institute for Renewing Systems Research and the Larnaca Conferences.
Since 1988 she has been working with her husband on systemic and sustainable models, concepts and tools for communication, social and cognitive design and systemic complexity-conscious education and language. With FORMWELT team, she is in the process of building a global platform that empowers all people to systemic communication and education for understanding oriented global collaboration, superintelligent problem solving and human multiresilience.
In 2020 she presented what FORMWELT can do for intersectionality and collective intelligence in times of metacrises at the conference "Strategies for transformative global Leadership" organized by the United Nations and the World Academy of Art and Science.
More than 30 years ago, Gitta and her husband Ralf already predicted that mankind will not tackle the coming super- and meta-crises in time.
They see this as a fundamental conditioning problem, which has to do with the fact that especially the first world countries have not used their prosperity adequately.
Instead of taking care to have citizens capable of emancipating themselves in their systemic sign universes in a way that allows them to address the complex challenges of today and tomorrow in a relaxed manner, the focus has been unhealthily on fostering more and more consumer dependency.
Gitta therefore enthusiastically advocates education and functional communication systems, as metacrises affect all subsystems of people and society and therefore challenge them at all levels.

Cadell Last, Ph.D, Canada, Philosopher
Cadell is a general thinker interested in questions about human existence and evolution. He is author of Global Brain Singularity, which focuses on the nature of temporality and the future of consciousness given technological complexification; and Sex, Masculinity, God, which focuses on the consequences of libidinal energy, gender identity and theological mysteries for our knowledge constructs in a global brain. The tension between sex and love, as well as death and immortality, drives much of his current philosophical work, which is deeply informed by dialectics and psychoanalysis. Sex-love/death-immortality became central to his work after discovering “gaps” in technologist-centric view/discourse of the future, which seemed to repress how these tensions structured fundamental human drives, including those of technologists.

Daniel’s professions have been in research and educational institutions related to system science, consciousness research, anthropology, holistic medicine, consultancy and management and sexual pedagogy.
Fields of interests to explore consciousness have been systems of thinking, ideology, religions and rituals, philosophy of science, phenomenology of experience and cybernetics.
He explored applied research and development projects for self-exploration software tools, impact assessment, pain perception and flickering light perception. He has been lecturer at the University of Vienna in Anthropology and Sociology. He holds the Young Scientist Bertalanffy Award of the European Meeting of Cybernetics and System Research 2016, has worked for several research institutions, such as the Bertalanffy Center for the Study of Systems Science, the European School of Governance and co-founded the independent Viennese Academy of Consciousness Research in 2015.

Hans Kluge, Germany
“I probably don’t know the solution, though I admire the problem.” – Hans Kluge is creative nerd, agile project manager and systemic coach. With his leading question on “how to make work prettier” he is questioning organisational structures and preceding traditions. As a generalist he’s thinking beyond, tries out and enables in the given context.
After a standard business administration study and the according career-driven track through corporations and agencies the dissonance between the how we work and what we do grew. Starting a journey to find the more and future fitting solutions he stumbled upon
new work, agile methods, systems theory, systemic coaching, and other mindset bricks assembling an overall image. The guiding principle “I probably don’t know, let us find that out together” accompanied Hans to work freelance.
As a multidimensional bridge builder between tradition and future he is dedicated to project management with integrated coaching. In the scope of graphic and web/IT he provides creative eruptions and solutions outside the box.
Moderating and facilitating parts of the Larnaca Conference is an exciting trip in Hans’ journey for finding new future fitting solutions – leastwise knowing how to create them. Furthermore, he continues his FORMwelt research with practical utilization.
Anyone who has flown over Cyprus sees the effects of climate catastrophe, resource exploitation and predatory capitalism from above: The land is brown, the sea is dead, and looking across the Mediterranean we look down on streams of refugees, economic warfare, and foresee a global population explosion coming with increasing prosperity, presenting us with challenges we cannot possibly meet alone.
Larnaca, Cyprus, is more than just a symbol of what is to come. Larnaca can teach us - like Israel and many other places on earth - what it means to live with wars, with disasters, with corruption and with crises, but also with hope and art, with science, with cohesion and beautiful cooperative people. Crisis experience is what we need.
For this reason, once a year since 2018, scholars, artists, economy experts, activists, politicians, journalists and people from the street meet to find new questions, to discuss the important problems and challenges and opportunities, and most importantly: to open up new lines of conflict in a transdisciplinary way.
The Larnaca conferences function as a social sculpture. The goal is not necessarily to find more answers, we have enough of that. What we need is active, intelligently directed interaction between people of different backgrounds, education, worldviews. What we need is human superintelligence.
Accompanying the conferences, publications of the conference topics will be published by Carl Auer Verlag as yearly eBook and in Carl Auer Magazine starting in 2021.
In addition, starting in 2022, participants will meet every late winter in Larnaca for a coffee break extended to two days, because we all know: When it comes to innovation and creative contact, it is the coffee breaks that make the difference. We are people. We work best together when we take time to be human, to gather, to have some fun, to relax, to learn from each other and then create something grand.
The regular yearly conferences take place online.
Come and join the discussion with experts from all over the world!
It is about communication based on understanding. It is about concept clarity. It is about people working together for a sustainable future. It is about systemic education for all, about cost reduction, about saving valuable resources.
This year's Larnaca Conferences are entirely at the service of FORMWELT Online. All fees will be devoted to the development of a software that supports communication and understanding.
Let's build together a platform for human superintelligence, human superempathy, human multiresilience.
FORMWELT, that means starting at the bottom, at the root of the problems: At the way we think and communicate.
Your investment as keynote speaker
Put three and a half hours of your valuable life time in the service of building an online platform that enables fundamental systemic education and understanding-oriented communication about a universal reference system to all people worldwide.
Your keynote will be the subject of discussion at the conference in question, and together with other experts you can then get into exchange with all the other participants, answer their questions and talk with them about their ideas and yours.
The Larnaca conferences are about exchange, about human encounter, about real-life collaborative conversations.
Your investment as panelist
Support the construction of FORMWELT Online with three hours of your valuable life time and enter into a dialogue with other experts and conference participants to discuss the topic that is close to your heart. Your expertise will thus help to deepen the keynote topic and you can support other conference participants to deepen their own knowledge.
The goal of the conferences is to work transdisciplinarily and develop new lines of conflict. Therefore, we focus on meeting at eye level.
Your investment as sponsor
FORMWELT Online will be the platform for intelligent, collaborative, systemic togetherness. Based on FORMWELT, every user learns directly and incidentally to think systemically and to communicate in an understanding-oriented way.
