Abundanism is Abundance 4 ALL We do our trend forecasting work for companies, governments, and citizen groups.
We offer 1:1 mentoring for (future) leaders. Biomimicry. Economies of Scope. Systemic Design.
In the LAB on Monday we focus on Biomimicry, Superformula (dynamic math 2003) & Resonance. Every Friday we send the newsletter Freedom Futures.
You can also go to our shop for books, articles, and methodologies.
FUTURES FORECASTING
The urgency is hotter than ever. Malaria. Zoonotic viruses. Geopolitics. Inequality. Climate change. Biodiversity collapse.
After decades of working in the sustainability and regeneration sector, we now focus on rewilding soils, seas, SOULS, and systems. We focus on climate resilience with sponge cities, local energy sources, eating all that's edible (permaculture), and ecological intensification of vibrant economies of scope.
Healthy soils and seas. Resilient environments and people with mental strength. Active neurosciences.
The scientists in the Abundance 4 ALL team are math, astrophysics, biomimicry, complexity, (micro)biology, ecology, and deep ecology.
Our vision is a huge transition of mainly the infrastructures over which the materials, money, people, and data flow. Multimodal mobility, healthy buildings, cooling cities by evaporation and colors.
We are in Web3 projects too. Data is stardust. The main issues are now ethics and energy efficiency. Web3 is an infrastructure of trust.
Multifunctional design. Minimum materials. Replacing something with nothing in the processes. If a solar road collaborates with the car, we don't need batteries for storage.
Infrastructure changes from top-down to bottom-up with as short chains as possible. Local. Regional. Vibrantly active economies with many transactions. Using each other's rest streams. CO2 emissions are input for food production.
We strengthen projects of other teams in areas like Benelux, EU, Kenya, Indonesia, Greece, and the Mediterranean. Our role then is to show already existing solutions and adapt them to local climate zones and local cultures. Our role is to make people think across all boundaries. And be part of new, healthy systems.
Most of our work happens online. We have a few physical projects in Greece, the Peloponnese where we also help people train their senses to hear the 'Stories of the Earth'.
Desiree Driesenaar is our visionary explainer. She can be booked for keynotes and collaborative writing projects with visionary artists. She is a science fiction writer as well as an inspiring educator.
Our active projects can be found here.
Join us. And help us implement good solutions everywhere around the world!
Happy & Healthy People IN a Healthy Planet
Restoring mangrove forests by sediment trapping. Building with Nature Indonesia
Superformula - groundbreaking math & geometry (2003)
GIELIS Transformations
WILD WRITING
We are active in rewilding soils, seas, souls, and systems. Desiree is a sensate writer trained to hear the 'Stories of the Earth'.
So, we teach you how to use your senses in writing. And how to use journaling to write in flow and work on your personal development. We are always open to collaborations with educators and visual/film/immersive artists.
Local classes take place on the beach in Greece, the Peloponnese. Online Zooms can be entered everywhere.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
We bring 35+ years of professional change-making, crossover science, and entrepreneurial experience.
Since 1987 - logistics, communication, high-tech, management team positions, consultancy, and systemic design
Since 2012 - working together with several holistic methods of change-making. Blue economy, circular economy, cradle 2 cradle, the natural step, holistic science, doughnut economy, biomimicry & natural intelligence.
Projects with science think tank ZERI, Zero Emissions Research & Initiatives. Professor Gunter Pauli, and the Blue Economy. In Spain, El Hierro, Austria, the Netherlands, Indonesia (Java and Bali), Eastern Himalayas, and Greece.
2018 - Interim Director of the Ecosystem Restoration Communities. With the teams of John D. Liu, Kiss the Ground, permaculture, and the Weathermakers. Nature-based solutions with growing regional economies. Restoring ecosystems with sediments. Teaching citizens the easy methods with cardboard and compost.
Since 2020 - Lecturing with Professor Johan Gielis. The groundbreaking math and geometry Superformula (since 2003). The unifying vision in one science formula with varied n. GIELIS now stands for Generalized Intrinsic and Extrinsic Lengths in Submanifolds (those are the maps and patterns) in science. Johan is the Kepler all modern Newtons have been waiting for.
2018-2022 - Healthy Building Network - Together with a consortium of Dutch/German architects, material science, engineers, Cradle 2 Cradle, Finance & Real Estate at the University of Maastricht
2016-2017 - Venlo Regionomics - Hosting a Dutch changemaker program for regional, rural, small city economic development. Citizen and planetary inclusive
2020 - Lecturing at Green School Bali - about island economies. They are the best examples of growing, regenerative economies because they have clear boundaries between land and sea. Combining growth with self-sufficiency and local solutions, such as
Energy - local sources. Solar, piezo, gravity, heat exchangers in rivers, windmills without blades, mine water, termite ventilation, etc.
Freshwater - the restoration of water cycles with wetlands and river banks, making freshwater with temperature difference, condensation, desalination, etc.
Multifunctional use of land and buildings. Phytomining (metal and mineral retrieval locally from polluted soils). Ecoremediation (cleaning soil with plants). Mycoremediation (cleaning soil with fungi). Biochar. Food forestry. Sea restoration with sound.
From 2012 - Resonance projects. Restoring land, seas, companies, and areas (cities, buildings) to health with resonance.
Our current projects are:
IBI2 Futures Academy in the Netherlands - biomimicry education about area transformation (industrial estates, harbors, design, infra - mainly built environment, materials, and logistics) and material science
Blue Hearts - citizen science around the Mediterranean (EU, Asia, Africa) and in Indonesia. Web3 tech. Digital Twins. AR for education and gaming. Ocean and river restoration solutions with our EU partners from AIOTI and several universities.
Via this Abundance 4 ALL website, we host an online LAB to help you implement good solutions locally and we sell books and methods.
We are professional nomads, mainly working online. And contributing to local progress in Benelux, Greece, and Indonesia mainly.
We include teenagers in our labs to get radical innovations implemented. Picture: Venlo Regionomics
Our planet does everything IN. Interconnected and nested. With synergy and synthesis. The syntropocene! Picture: Stockholm Resilience Center, SDG Wedding Cake
Economy is often the problem, economy can also be the solution. Just flip the folds. Picture by: Wicked 7 - Philip Kotler and Christian Sarkar
Our current coastal area projects in the Mediterranean are about healthy water and tech. Blue Hearts. Seas. Seaweed. Restoration. Satellites. Divers. Citizen science.

Hear It from Our Tribe
"There are few persons with the drive and the clarity of Desiree. She goes to the places where her intuition tells her to discover the solutions. She shares the places where her intelligence tells her to invite solutions. Desiree is not just of words and deeds, but also of dedication, ethics, and perseverance. She has been a bright light in every corner of the world where we met, studied, and worked. Desiree is a hidden gem in the world of steering business and society toward sustainability. She does what is required, and does it with elegance and efficiency" - Gunter Pauli, the 'Steve Jobs of sustainability'.
