A new model of working and being together
The cocreation.loft is a community of people who have come together under a common thread: We come from various disciplines and backgrounds and strive to make the world a more sustainable and aware place through our projects and initiatives. Amongst us we have social entrepreneurs, change makers, leadership coaches, somatic practicioners, sustainability and creative consultants. Each member forms an integral part of our community and takes part in bringing our network to life. Together we explore new perspectives and work together for the conscious development of individuals, business, and society.
We believe that effective outer change must start from within. That’s why we’re more than an association, we support each other and our clients on their individual journeys. And we share a home – the beautiful cocreation.loft.
In Berlin, we are your go-to partner for co-creating a more conscious and sustainable future. We offer a strong network and pool of resources that can be leveraged depending on your initiatives.
The cocreation.community stands for democratic values and advocates inclusivity, diversity, equality and respect. We condemn racism, fascism and populism.
