In the world now, we are facing the meta crisis or several crises converging together threatening life on the planet.
There's evidence all over - ongoing genocide in Gaza, war in Ukraine, conflicts in Kashmir, Manipur;
forest fires in the Himalayas, floods in Sahara desert, the list is never ending!
The inner conflicts within human beings manifest as crises in human systems. How do we move to the next evolutionary threshold we ask?
The leadership- political, business, cultural is locked in their vested interests. Wisdom has been separated from power. It's a self terminating loop! In this scenario, we believe that the right response begins with:
Our flagship immersive journeys Gramya Manthan & Earth Shastra do just this! Young People are initiated into an exploration to 'Understand' and be equipped with tools to respond. They then Act in their communities,with an understanding of the context & the consequences.
The process lets individuals to reclaim the connection between the 'self' and the 'world' and see how we are all interconnected. And shift the narrative from 'you-or-me' to 'you-and-me'. Gradually a community of such individuals has come to be that supports each and is creating ripples of change in the world around it. We see this as the work of leadership based in the consciousness rather than just in the intellect.
