The History of SEKEM
Description
A contribution by Helmy Abouleish
Helmy Abouleish describes the Egyptian desert-greening project SEKEM, which his father launched 50 years ago. At its heart are a profound vision for unfolding human potential, biodynamic agriculture, agroforestry and the “Economy of Love”. Community, education, art and inclusion are central. Despite much doubt, a flourishing oasis came into being. Guided by the conviction that the path comes into being as we walk it, this model is now to be extended to all of Egypt by 2027.
A contribution by Helmy Abouleish for the Theme Day “Greening the Desert” in October 2025 at the Goetheanum.
