Marlene Potthoff studied biology and political science and has been working in the environmental movement for over 20 years. In addition to her commitment to climate protection and the development of environmental awareness, it has always been important for her to recognize and gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual impulse within herself. Through her intensive engagement with these two interests – the need for social commitment and the perception of the importance of the spiritual dimension – she discovered the significance of the evolutionary development of consciousness in us humans. She sees emergent dialogue as an ideal combination of these two impulses for the development of a new human culture. She runs the Emergent Interbeing programs and the emergent dialogue offerings on a voluntary basis.

As a cultural anthropologist, Dr. Nadja Rosmann has been working for many years on how cultural identity unfolds and how new forms of life emerge in the course of this development, which promote a more connected togetherness and co-creativity. Since 2010, she has organized the biennial Meditation & Science congress in Berlin, which sheds light on the perspectives of a new culture of consciousness. As a member of the editorial team of evolve magazine, she and her colleagues have built up a network of almost 30 evolve salons in German-speaking countries, in which participants can delve deeper into the magazine's topics on the basis of emergent dialogue. In her experience, emergent dialogue is a life practice that opens up a broader horizon of meaning and allows people to be together in a shared sense of the essential.
