The world, as we know it, can’t continue. For centuries we have improved life by treating symptoms and borrowing resources from future generations. We can’t maintain such an unsustainable lifestyle any longer. Systemic problems must be met by systemic change. For a solution to work, the population needs to perceive it as an increase in the quality of life. This means a total paradigm shift. A transition that involves all areas of life. The creation of a new world. Through co-creation we can accelerate the transition that needs to happen to secure optimal living conditions for ourselves and future generations.
Awareness of our dependence on nature ≈ becoming an integral part of the local area and the nature we live in ≈ protection of nature's limited resources.
Living and eating in a way, where real needs are met ≈ increasing strength and vitality ≈ stronger immune system and reducing lifestyle diseases.
Creating and participating in meaningful and sustainable relationships and communities ≈ a sense of belonging & sustainable leadership.
Being driven from the inside and making deliberate choices ≈ personal responsibility, courage to engage in an unpredictable world and living in the new paradigm.
Connecting with true life values ≈ awareness that neither material goods, money or power has much value, when facing death.
Consideration of all kinds of capital, not just money ≈ green livelihood and regenerative enterprises.
Our aim is to bridge the old and new paradigm by
