Creatively engage in the science and practice of human and planetary flourishing
Interestingly, from a material and physical health perspective, globally we have never been better off in recorded times. We live longer, and more people have access to education. There is less hunger and poverty globally and we have made remarkable discoveries in these past centuries improving living conditions in such a variety of ways that it is hard to imagine. However, this progress is external and physical, relating primarily to artifacts. It seems the poor state of our inner world, our personal capacity for well-being and sense of purpose and meaning in life, along with the devastating consequences in our natural world, are unintended side effects of our fast-paced, run-rampant lifestyles in global society. We seem to lack nuances of what it means to live in a good way: flourishing, joyously connected, and with an integral sense of belonging. Everything and everyone we have ever loved is right here on our beautiful planet, and our destructive relationship to the natural world seems mirrored in the self-destructive relationship to our inner world. These are the conditions children grow up with in our time.
We are grateful to partner with a growing, impressive, and diverse group of people around the world who feel deeply that living in the ways of compassionate systems change carries promises of better futures for ourselves, our children, and those who are to come.
For over a decade, we have been working with a global community of educational innovators, thought leaders and international scientists to develop and test a new synthesis of head, heart, and hand, called the “Compassionate Systems Framework,” in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Systems Awareness Lab.
