The seminar Doorbomen#2 brought together the coalitions of the stages Germination and Growth. What can we learn from each other? And what significance does our work for StagingWood have within our own professional disciplines? Forester Remi Hougee started the seminar with a tour through the forest past the installation Assembly of Trees. This was followed by an introduction to the Green State Vision by Raki Ap. Dorine van Norren presented the manifesto The Forest Speaks (Het Bos Spreekt); fundamentals of the forest. Tanja Dekker gave a talk on her soil research. Martine Verweij did a systems exercise and Roberto Callisaya closed the seminar with a collective Amaryan (Bolivia) music exercise. Elke van Riel wrote an essay following the seminar.
