For a meaningful, just and sustainable future
Participate in the Reinvention of Humankind
Develop your own approach to making a practical difference in daily life, at home, at work and in society as a whole.
The challenge can seem overwhelming
Too many different challenges
As individuals, there’s only so much we can focus on at once, and yet the different problems all seem to be in some way related.
Not clear how we can make a difference
The movements shaping society are so powerful, there are so many people, it is difficult to see what an individual can achieve.
No shared sense of direction
People from different cultures and traditions are pulling in different directions, while many of us don’t feel connected with any group.
We have become divorced from nature
Plenty of people value nature, and yet we are becoming ever more disconnected from it and destructive towards other living beings.
The need for transformation
Wherever you look around you in politics, at work, in the economy, you see there is a need for change. If you’re honest, you also find you yourself do not have the answer either.
Many things need to be fixed at once
You may feel deeply affected by what is happening in the world and in yourself, in your direct environment or far away, and wonder whether there is a way of addressing all of these issues at once.
The earth, nature, and the body
The modern world so easily becomes destructive in its way of treating animals and plants, our own bodies and nature as a whole.
Society, Work and Politics
Though there is the science and technology to create a harmonious, peaceful, and just society, too often humanity fails to deliver.
There is no blueprint we can follow
The world we live in is profoundly new, and this means that traditional solutions no longer provide the answer. Every person is different. There isn’t one solution that fits all situations.
Think for yourself
Though you will be presented with questions and how others have grappled with them, the bottom line is always that you need to find your own truth.
Creative freedom
The approach we take encourages you to find yourself inwardly so that you can find answers in the novel challenges you face.
Grounded in practical experience
The success of the conversations we have consists in living a life of embodied inquiry and trying to bring about just the kind of transformation that we will be focusing on in our families, places of work, voluntary organisations and communities.
A total form of learning
This involves being in nature, relating and exercising, looking inward, being quiet, as well as learning from those who have studied human consciousness and found ways to liberate it.
The practice of everyday life
It is in living and working together that we learn most. That our blind spots are exposed, but also that we find solutions that have an impact beyond our immediate circumstances.
A historic opportunity
The modern world comes with new forms of thinking. We will need to master these, see through the potential pitfalls, and go beyond their current limitations.
Nature comes first
We will remain grounded in nature, in the understanding that it comes first and that everything we do needs to help it flourish.
All change is embodied
Our bodies are our gateway into the world outside and inside, which we will work hard to keep healthy, sane, and sensitive.
Life is relationship
We will discover that we are not isolated beings as we connect meaningfully with nature, other living beings, and the cosmos itself.
Practical in everyday life
We all have places where we can make a practical difference, where we can affect the life of others, where we have a say or can realise or can raise questions.
The story of life on earth
We will study the one story that brings all our personal and communal stories together, including nature and the earth itself.
A timeless dimension
Present throughout all the learning will be the reminder that there is a timeless dimension to which all of us have direct access always.
