  • Jessica Böhme (she/her), PhD, is the founder and director of IPeP. Her passion is to empower individuals and organizations to take action towards healthy futures by living a philosophical life.

    In her work and research for the past 10+ years, she aims to grasp the big picture by exploring relational approaches to inner and outer transformation across various disciplines. With a diverse educational background including a PhD in social science, a Master’s in sustainability management, and a Diploma in mechanical engineering, she has acquired deep knowledge about systems change and strategies for transforming complex systems. Her expertise lies in utilizing practical philosophy as a meta-technology for driving such change.

    As a writer and author of three books, she is also the creator of a weekly newsletter titled „Rewilding Philosophy.“ She delivers keynotes and workshops on topics related to the philosopical dimensions of resilience, simplicity, the power of individual action, and understanding complexity; all in the context of our times.

    Additionally, in her role as a university professor and academic director of two study programs, she integrates these subjects into her research and lectures.

  • Leonie Trutschler (she/her) is a freelance researcher and project manager with a background in interdisciplinary humanities and social sciences and a strong focus on the intersection of ethics, technology, and society. She is currently completing her Master’s degree in Science, Technology, and Society at the University of Vienna.

    Leonie brings several years of project management experience to her research practice, working across complex, cross-cultural environments. Her approach is characterised by a steady, reflective working style and a dedication to deep inquiry.

    Before moving to Vienna, she lived in Maastricht, the Netherlands, for five years, earning two Bachelor’s degrees: a BA in Digital Society and a BA in Liberal Arts and Sciences (with a focus on philosophy and technology). She also works with clients in the Netherlands and Austria, providing freelance research and coordination services, often in contexts that require navigating multilingual and multicultural landscapes.

    Raised in Alicante, Spain, by German parents, Leonie embodies a thoroughly European perspective. She is fluent in multiple languages and has a natural appreciation for interdisciplinary collaboration and intercultural dialogue. Her intellectual curiosity is matched by a commitment to personal and professional growth, and a desire to contribute meaningfully to ethical, sustainable, and psychologically enriching futures.

    In her work at IPeP, she hopes to turn her individual desire of living a meaningful and joyful life into a collective learning and sensemaking effort with all those on the same path who have existed before her and exist with her now.
