Rough Greenhouse Ideas:

  • While working in a more unusual way during our Inspiration Week at the Wikimedia Foundation I realised that I would truly love to find a way to combine physical and mental work as a substep of creating our future of work. The way we work right now doesn't engage our whole being, it doesn't include our bodies. We miss out on physical sensations, using the image of a greenhouse, like touching soil, touching wood, or pebbles. I wonder if we would be capable of finding more innovative and creative solutions while working mentally and physically. Also, when working like a group of gardeners on the same flower bed or field, would that potentially even encourage more collaboration?
  • Lots of newer treatments for mental health conditions include our bodies, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_therapy or Somatic Therapy to release emotions that are "stuck" in our bodies. I wonder if then also solutions and problems solving skills are to be found in our bodies, if we just included them?
