The last 3 days (on monastery grounds) showed again what a gift it is the be a member of young academy for sustainability research of the @friasunifreiburg.bsky.social: it’s such a joy & intellectual inspiration to be with this kind, smart, and funny community of “young” minds. Thanks everyone!

A large tree on monastry grounds under which we gathered for group work. It provided shade and respite from the hottest day of the year.

The sun is behind a cloud around dusk, and there is a cow grazing in front of the St Trudpert monastery’s wall in the Black Forest.

The view of the monastery’s garden from the guest house, overlooking the Münstertal valley.
