Kinnernet

Mar’s Musing on Kinnernet

Welcome to this week's Mars Musings on Kinnernet.

I just came back from an amazing weekend in Paris where I had the privilege of attending an exclusive event called Kinnernet with 200 invitees. It was a rejuvenating experience that allowed me to step out of my usual routine and reconnect with my flow. 

Kinnernet is a unique gathering that brings together a diverse group of individuals, ranging from tech experts, artists to creative entrepreneurs. It's an unconference-conference-festival where everyone contributes and shares their ideas. The atmosphere was incredibly inspiring, and I had the pleasure of interacting with brilliant minds from various fields.

One of the highlights was having a meaningful conversation with Nouriel Roubini, an economist I greatly admire. We discussed his latest book, "Megathreats: Our ten biggest threats, and how to survive them" which provides insights into the challenges we face as a society. In our chat Nouriel emphasized the importance of inner wealth vs monetary wealth and the impact we have on others through love and connection.

Throughout the event, I encountered remarkable tech founders, including the creator of Amazon's Alexa. Their innovative ideas and contributions left me feeling inspired. There were discussions on topics like the future of community, breathwork, and even sexuality. It was a melting pot of ideas, fostering an open and friendly environment for cross-pollination.

Attending Kinnernet has reinvigorated me for the work I do. I returned home with a renewed sense of motivation, sharing my experiences with my partner and enjoying a beautiful weekend together.

This event has opened my eyes to the incredible possibilities that lie ahead. From cutting-edge AI to protocols for a better future, there is an evolution happening that demands our attention. Nouriel, being somewhat of a pessimist, raised thought-provoking ideas about the integration of AI and the challenges our future generations may face especially with Climate Change.

Personally, I am still processing everything I absorbed at Kinnernet. It was a mind-opening experience that made me reflect on our responsibility to create positive change. Inner work, meditation, and witnessing groundbreaking inventions all came together in a unique and energizing way.

I want to express my gratitude to Stephan-Elouise for inviting me to be part of this extraordinary community. It allowed me to break free from limitations and embrace my authentic self. Engaging in conversations with individuals like Steven Posner, who is doing incredible work with breath and ice, further added to the transformative nature of the event - where I finally did my first ice-bath!

I hope the energy I gained from this experience resonates with you in some way. Despite the challenges and uncertainties in the world, we live in a time of immense possibilities. Let us embrace our role in effecting change while also appreciating the present moment.

If there is anything that has inspired you recently or any inventions or ideas you wish to share, I would love to hear from you. Let's continue to inspire and support each other as we navigate this journey together.

Wishing you a beautiful week filled with connection, inspiration, and new experiences. 

May the energy of the summer solstice infuse your days with joy and creativity - a time for connection and outreach. Remember, we are here to uplift and inspire one another.

With warmest wishes,

Mar Michelle
