The first symposium of the Existential Consciousness Research Institute took place in Castle Kränzlin. All participants were involved in the creation of the common vision paralleled by presentation. In various rounds of individual and collective wishes, projects and roles could be distillated in an unifying phrase as a common ground for a visionary future: The Vision and Mission is the intercultural integration of art, science and spirituality to understand, support and accelerate a global consciousness transformation.͟ Prof. Hartmut Schröder and Dr. Engelbert Kronthaler shared their knowledge on consciousness research in presentations and following discussions. The mathematics of qualities of Engebert Kronthaler lead to deepening the work of Gotthard Günther ́s multi-valued logic. The cultural health approach of Hartmut Schröder paved the way for new insights on the nature of consciousness and its cultural aspects of care and development.
