The purpose of the first day of the forum was to sense into the topic of “Evolutionary Renaissance” and the new human Dream in connection with The Dream of the Earth. What is calling us?

⏱ TIME FOR PLANETIZENSHIP

Confucious said: "You have two lives, and the second begins when you realize you only have one". We are entering the era of The Second Planet: the recognition of the fact that we have only one planet. Gaia herself is a planetary consciousness of love and encoded care. Human species is in the new stage of maturation, and maturing will happen through the responses to the challenges emerging. We need to grow ourselves internally, not just externally. If we loose our connection to nature, then it’s game over for our species.


We must change perspective. We must go beyond “citizenship” and embrace notions like “planetizenship”. Panetizenship is ecological by design. It embraces everyone and all beings on this planet, not only members of the cities (as citizenship does). Our friends from non-human nature, the trees and other beings, are all welcome as members of this identity.


The wealth of our society is built upon natural and cultural commons. Knowledge, one of the key commons, is not owned by us, it is gifted to us in a “long song”, and it should be passed on and returned as a gift back to nature.


Returning custodianship of indigenous lands with indigenous knowledge systems into inclusive ways of being - for all planetizenship. Indigenous systems is all about balance and being in healthy relation with nature. Custodianship is a job of translation of the pain that is going on in communities and nature. It’s not about “solving the problem” - it’s about being a translator for all species to share in the dream.

Technology can be our ally – but currently it is not. Social media platforms, in particular, are not built for peace, they are made to extract our attention.

We have this ability in this network playground, as mycelial paths of accelerated interconnections for interbeing - for dreaming each other into greater harmony. This means shifting the way social media platforms want us to use them! And ultimately, we need to have inter-being awareness and consciousness for technology to be inclusive to human well together for aliveness.

✨ DREAMS EMPOWER AND RECONNECT US

The path we are walking on must also be given to future generations. Dreams are path creating and are also connected to the past.
There are many obstacles and discouragements for those who have dreams. Indigenous people often find their dreams quashed, as well as those who experience violent conflicts.

Yet our ability to dream is a form of resistance against hegemonic forces. Dreaming, as a form of resistance, is also a form of taking a political stance.

There is a lot of frustration and hopelessness around the world. It is important for people who have a dream to keep on working on this dream, independently of what is going on around them. Once the dream is authentic, you don't need much, you just go.


But unless we express the dreams in the way that is inclusive for every member of society, unless we find the language that wins human hearts - we are doing something wrong, and we won’t make it.
Separation is a trauma that creates delusion — spiritual practice allows us to return to our natural state of unified universal connection. It is very important now, that we realize we don’t need to dream our dreams in isolation. We can share a collective dream. This is the way.

Amplify thread of Hope ... threads of Light. Radical Hope, hope no matter what.

We grow hope through working with other people. In dreaming, healing, caring and holding space for each other, we need to join the Dream of the Earth.

We can choose our narrative as a species on this planet: we do not have to be “planetary home wreckers” but we can be curators of life and connectors to all sources of being that foster thriving interbeing!

Peace on Earth is our ultimate graduation pass.

⚱ THE BIFURCATION OF EVOLUTIONARY TRANSITION – AND THE SACRED MISSION OF HUMANITY (Ervin Laszlo).


We are in the midst of a bifurcation point in our evolutionary journey. The understanding of what we understand in this moment depends on what we are looking for – there are so many things happening on the Earth at this moment. But if we look for the process that began 13.8 billion years ago, we see a narrative that we are all a part of.

Everything is in the evolutionary process, and we are one part of it. The spectrum of possibilities for us includes that we go extinct – but it also possible that we upshift to a higher state of being.
The possibility of upshifting our consciousness (and consequently our ways of being and doing) toward ways of cooperation, peace, and life means that use our innate ability to live and work together with each other. Unconditional love is in popular songs – and it is part of our nature. We have natural sympathy and syntony to other humans and forms of life.

Unconditional love may even be understood as a cosmic phenomenon. The universe appears to be made of matter and energy, but secretly it is actually made of love. This universe is intrinsically oriented toward life and conscious connection.

The process of love based evolution in a quantum universe recognizes that all things affect and are affected by each other. Spacetime came into being as a process of potential and possibility that we are a part of. We are experiencing a process of orientation toward higher and higher levels of complex, coherent systems.

We are moving increasingly to the planetary levels of coherence - despite the localized expressions of moves toward predatory levels of being. At the global level, all things must accommodate all other things - the attractor is that of coherence and integration of as many forms and numbers of systems - systems within systems.

Having a conscious mind is not necessarily a survival advantage: it can lead to the over exploitation of resources and over-shoot in many ways. Having consciousness has not been selected by natural selection, but it does provide a path for a risk - a risk of success as well as one of collective failure. It is up to us to foster the former path.

Yet we have a natural leaning toward other forms of life. We feel these connections: life creates conditions that favor the emergence of life. This is the evolutionary impetus. Evolutionary impetus is how all life comes together.

The process takes us in this direction; to foster the upshift of life, we must look within ourselves to for the sources of connection. We can transcend the birth pains of the evolution of life into a higher, more unified and interconnected form of interbeing on this planet. We can augment our ability to live peacefully and in harmony with nature.

This is the sacred mission - evolution is a sacred process and we are a part of it. As conscious beings, we can foster it consciously, preserving, enhancing, and developing Consciousness on this planet!

This is why we need Evolutionary Renaissance Assemblies – to remind ourselves of our sacred mission in the universe. The challenge is to create the critical mass from which the upshift can emerge under it’s own impetus. Every small gathering makes a difference, and groups coming together begin to work together.

✅ LUCID QUESTIONS FOR OUR EVOLUTION

Asking questions invites us to connect with the evolutionary impetus on personal and collective level. What burning questions do we hold as a humanity?

What it means to be a human in 2100? What will be our distinct human qualities in the age of sentient machines, in the post-anthropocentric world? What will it mean to “human well” then – and what does it mean to “human well” now?

What is still here in our human world that is Good, True, and Beautiful? How do we meet human needs, serve human aspirations, establish relations with ourselves and other species, and create technologies for Being, Belonging, and Becoming?

How can we heal ourselves and our relation with the Earth in times like these? How can we have a civilization informed by our natural Earth's intelligence? How can we learn to be in comfort with complexity? How are we joining the evolutionary pattern manifested by all beings on the planet? Are we the collective directors of our waking society?

What are the questions that serve our highest potential? - We need to remind ourselves – we can discover the right questions and the right answers from our silence, stillness, and the state of relaxation. Neurosis only leads to neurotic questions. First thing is to be in balance with oneself and move on from there.

☮ TIME FOR A NEW PLANETARY LEARNING SPACE

7-year-olds know precisely how we can address our problems today .. and then we send people to Harvard and they cannot find solutions anymore.

What if we redefine how humans learn for the future? What if learning ecosystems were multigenerational collaborations networking local to global to address community challenges and tap into community strengths? what if learning ecosystems were based on ecological ones, where the only meaningful measure of success is the well-being of the whole?

A new university - University for the Planet - needs to be established

So that we can learn how to care for and grow our global commons. Codesigned with youth – and with everyone. The greatest dreams and the latest technologies will power the emergence of a U4P - but it will take us engaging with each other to make it happen!

2️⃣5️⃣ IDEAS
(from Day 3 final session to explore the concept)

1. 100 years ago a University for the Planet was almost created in Paris! Time to finally make it real!
2. We need to create a learning weaving space - learning on local & global level
3. The opportunity to reinvent the way we learn – to create life-affirming learning
4. Self-designed program and everyone succeeds. No exams!
5. Engaging scientific social entrepreneurs! Codesigning with youth! We could bring all the important dimensions!
6. Actual opportunities: UNESCO, UN, Global Accreditation Council, Learning Planet Festival
7. Glocal hubs - globally supported but local - mycelial webs.
8. Creating holding space for knowledge commons
9. U4P as a Transceiver = a receiver + a transmitter! And transformer
10. University created at each local area by the people. Block Chain could hold this weaving Ripple upward. Core Team Ripple down
11. Creating a holistic, compassionate & democratic network which is self-managed.
12. Organize in learning communities from around the world and learning from each other and from the world itself
13. A platform that hosts questions and we all come into a circle, much like Barbara Marx Hubbard's Wheel of Co-Creation where we all bring our diverse skills to our collective table
14. Co-sensing & co-designing, embodying the transformation
15. Humans as Gaia's reflective organs. We have a fractal relationship with Gaia's life. Connecting with Gaia through the field, care for the planet, each other and ourselves
16. We are all indigenous to our planet! - and we need to discover that
17. How can this dream of being indigenous to the planet help us to be better kin? Better ancestors? Better relatives? Better friends?
18. If we as humans organize learning communities - to transcend our geographies - what would happen if we exchange enough information? Could new collective consciousness arise?
19. Invite all life seen and unseen
20. How can we bring new forms of communication? with other cultures? with non-human beings?
21. Making sure we have linguistic diversity – languages other than English!
22. More dissent! Resistance is fertile! We need diversity generators to give us the impulse to change, grow, learn. Diversity - as a force and as a principle
23. More play, more learning together, give us time to design “products” with our hands, hearts, and childlike wonder
24. How can we use the spectrum of tools available to us?
25. What bridges can we build together?

The purpose of day 2 & 3 was to explore how to make future dreams real. How do we need to transform our economies, governance systems, employment, and financial system for the future? How do we engage voices that were underrepresented in previous systems – youth, women, Global South & indigenous population?

⚖️ TRANSFORMATION OF ECONOMY AND THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN THE COMING CENTURY

We still largely underestimate the significance of digital technology for the future – and AI is a natural evolution of digital technology. AI is not an existential crisis. Technology is growing as fast as the human population - and it might be the only way to "solve" present complex problems.
Where we go economically with AI / ML - we have to be looking into combination of UBI and neighborhood economies that will sustain us.

There is an implicit assumption that technology and economy are deeply interlinked. The use of fossil fuels and fossil materials enabled the exponential curve that helped population and technology increase. However, the depletion curves of core non-renewable materials show that the exponential growth of tech cannot be supported indefinitely within the existing model.
We need to talk about regenerative economies, the biophysical reality into which we need to reintegrate our human activities. What are the enabling tech platforms that will allow us to create that?

Is nature calling us a crisis, or is it just human arrogance? The planet is way more conscious than we are. She is giving us guidance to learn about ourselves. Business can become part of that, if we do it with non-competitiveness & inclusiveness, putting people & planet first. We need to challenge the top of the pyramid first of all, the “billionaire models” of taking riches and moving to other planets – it is time to start working with our planet first! This future needs to be created with indigenous communities as gardeners of abundance. Compassionate sustainability approach – the more we reduce stress the more we are enabled to create better future.

One of the key factors of the shape of the future is the quality of technocivilization - the quality of the mystic and the technocrat. Music is a product of a piano (technology) and the pianist and the creative impulse (mystic). We should not choose one or the other – but continue with "yes-and". This is a complex future!

Mother Nature sprinkles the world with entrepreneurial seeds. Entrepreneurial activity is a personal expression of evolutionary creative impulse. We have a collective need - and out that emerges individual expression resulting in solutions. There are more and more conscious entrepreneurs where the collective s need is a priority using creative win-win life-flourish directions. These entrepreneurs need to connect them with each other to support their courageous explorations.
There are many pragmatic questions to address – such as: how will we support the flourishing future with this growth rate projection? We also should add that there is a massive need for system transition, e.g. reduction of energy & essential material consumption. We need to work on complexity - it is not either or it is and-and.

We cannot imagine the future without reinvigorating ecosystems in which we live now. The role of entrepreneurs is first of all to provide solutions for hyperlocal neighborhood infrastructure that can be self-reliant - water, food, energy.. How do feed, water & power restorative ecosystems. Permaculture / indigenous can be the source of inspiration. We need more distributed knowledge about simple, robust and democratic "low tech" that are restorative, not extractive, by design.

In the very long journey of humans for 00,000s of years 99% of time we have been the expression of the place. Sacred technology of council, vision question, tech connecting us to larger beings need to be brought back. We need to support the feminine voice in all people – it is the truest and the most powerful creator of what we are yet to experience, the beauty in the heart of men and women.
How do we take everyone on the journey - that is the biggest challenge! There needs to be the consciousness rising in masses - and it will come in form of "great shamanic awakening" in form of stress created by nature. Unless we evolve our question and our responses - we will not "solve" the current crisis.

In the very long-term future, we can look at our species in their adolescence. Our parent is the sun - we as a species and as a part of Gaia won't know our full capacity until we "leave the parent", leave the Solar system.

Principles to follow in creating our future that “works for all”:

1. ·        Synergetic intelligence & strategies. Synergy in all things.
2. ·        Enable and prioritize human security for all
3. ·        Anchoring in the wisdom of tech of sacred
4. ·        Support the feminine in all people – the beauty in our hearts

⚙ TECHNOLOGIES ARE NESTED WITHIN HUMAN COMMUNITIES

Life is a nested regenerative community emerging from qualitative relationships, “the unite of survival is not the individual or the species, but the individual/species and the environment”(G.Bateson), … maybe we need the maturity to chose more wisely what tools to use and how to use them? Is that not what the Golem in the Tora, Faust, Frankenstein, and the Wizzards Apprentice are trying to make us aware of?

What you are pointing out is poignantly felt in the "rest" of the world that does not export technology. Also, the preparation for the desired decentralized system is prepared in a very centralized way right now without participation in power, let alone partnership in power of decision making for our planetary pathfinding. The sense of the world - the rest of us - is vital here. Without inclusion in decision making, the rest of the world will literally be human resource included by being "harvested" for the tech. Even when the decisions are made in the name of the betterment of humanity, they are almost always made at their expense at a high cost. I am fully aware of the insatiable will to invent inbuilt in us, that we have always already been prosthetic beings, but cultural shift to match tech advent is vital.

That is why, the point about matching self-actualization with tech capabilities – mystic and technocrat creating synergy. Between the existential risks and convergence of technology, like between Scylla and Charybdis, everything hinges on social cohesion and shared values and vision, to turn tech to solve our existential risks and create conditions for higher and wider development. The transition to the next economy has already been going on in the background through cryptocurrency transfer into the biotech. While both have the capacity for evolving humanity for the better, with the mentality we are using now, they are moving toward mere harvesting of human resource. That is why the point about protecting biodiversity and cultural diversity based on the consciousness of inter-being is of vital importance and to be done by educating and empowering people to own their body and being.

We stand at a point where we have been deluded by the illusion of separation for as long as our species has existed. And, we have ignored the warning to “beware the military-industrial complex” which has put humanity in its accelerating current crisis. We all know that. The question is, now that we have this extraordinary ability to communicate with one another, how does homo sapiens now summon up the radical collaboration required to move us to the next evolutionary level as a species? What is it going to take?

The issue with technology is that it is considered neutral, but in fact isn't, because you can't separate technology from it's inbuilt, intended use - and also technologies tend to form networks and "ecosystems" of their own and trap people within them.

⭐ MOVING INTO THE LONG-TERM REGENERATIVE FUTURES (Duane Elgin)

1. We are not facing collapse as a species and as a planetary civilization. The collapse of the existing system will happen – but what is important is what happens after we break down and collapse.
What is the stage of our existence as the human species - toddlers? teenagers? adults? Most people think we are teenagers, we are in adolescence. If we behave as teenagers this is a good news - it is one more step and we become adults. We are currently not behaving at the highest of our potential for maturation. However, we are now in the time of initiation. It is a time for the whole community (as in indigenous communities).

2. What is the nature of paradigm change? We are living in a Living Universe. People are not looking for meaning - they are looking for a direct experience of being alive in a Living Universe. If we begin shifting our paradigm not as a dead matter but as a living system - that we will transform how we live on the Earth. We don't need to consume a lot to feel direct aliveness.
This is what is technically known as “fractal ontology” - where the aliveness at the local level is holographically connected to the aliveness of the Dream of Earth.

We need not disappear in our own Western echo chambers. There are cultures that are still holding this "radical aliveness" - how do we creating spaces embracing that, how do we do aikido with that?

3. If we are doing this as individuals & collectives - how does the world come together to some degree of mutual understanding? If we want to talk to ourselves - we already are connected, at least 2/3 now and 3/4 by the end of decade. We right now have capacities to mobilize ourselves. Would we step up to become Voice of the Earth?

Take back the airwaves! Take back Internet! It is ours, we own it! We need to talk as a species - what can Google and similar "giants" do to make it possible? The tech has already been created - we need a new governance of it

We have the tools & we have sensibility & now we are bringing up the community. We are going into collapse for sure - but we go through collapse - this is the rite of passage.

⚡ EMERGENT LEADERSHIP FOR EMERGING FUTURES

The distinction between being “change makers” and being “game changers.” It’s the latter that is truly evolutionary in it’s higher potential.

We are at the threshold, at the tipping point.. a moment before Renaissance – recognizing our evolutionary mission. How can we multiply spaces where Evolutionary Renaissance is happening?
The good conditions can be created within dedicated spaces fostering deep relations, with a shared collective culture. This can happen in a venue - that’s what I tend to experience on an everyday basis at the Learning Planet Institute (with ups and downs), as well in other contexts (seminars, workshops) -, in communities (especially when there is a shared cause), in online meetings too (like this one, and many others I had the chance to participate in: Ubuntu, Sound of Care, etc. / we all have the chance to join). Then, something I feel is key is to bring in the youth in these spaces… We are connected with many incredible youth-led organizations, such as Youth x Youth, and they have many great meetings too. But joining forces more regularly, if not systematically, would seem a good pathway to further develop :)

Give a sacred space of emptiness - without movements and expectations, so that those who were invisible can manifest themselves.

Being aware of those who we see as 'voiceless' who are very much trying to use their voices and are being silenced/ignored - I see this often with young people and is why listening is so key. The voices are there if we will only open our hearts to hear them.

Everywhere many of the voiceless situations is not known generally because of a social media non inclusivity. Be it the genocide in Ethiopia right before and during the Ukrainian situation on the media or even here in Paris more than 5000 already the poorest are through out of their place and end up on the street to make space for the Olympics s image , yet even in Paris the news in muffled . So unfortunately more voiceless are kept more silent than we can imagine.

Three empty chairs in the board room:

1. 1. Voice of those who were not heard, including nature
2. 2. Voice of ancestors
3. 3. Voice of future generations

This place in France had like the peace university in Norway brought young Palestinians and Israeli to exchange, share time and activities together Important to have more & share more ways to help people move from traditional leadership to new models. This transition is a cognitive & emotional challenge!

What kind of models? Feeling comfortable to not know --> I love a koan that says "not knowing is most intimate".

The leadership is becoming world-centric or semi-centric (being of service).

We are roving sensory organs of the divine. Each experience, feeling, perspective is evolving the divine, all-that-is. Being trapped in the material reality makes us helpless and keeps us from our true human potential - But hasn’t this reality and separation been by design by “the powers of domination and control”? And can they be dis-empowered?

We need horoscopes! Bending telescopes back - Otto Scharmer talks about Science 2.0, recognizing that scientists are part of the system they study. When the times are urgent, we must slow down.
Am I living into the fullness of who I am? How can we dream into a new person we can all be? Relate with evolutionary identity - us as a part of natural ecosystems

What is the relationship between Leadership and Followership?

Should we expect leadership to evolve towards harmonious and love-based relationships? What is the role of conflicts, how do we honor the importance of this role, the importance of energy? Even though conflicts are often seen as problematic, energy often appearing as a discord, it is where most people feel being alive - and aliveness is not a comfort at all! The more diversity, the more different forms - not necessarily comfortable but certainly alive. So the leadership needs to embrace aliveness in tension and creative conflict, as much as it embraces harmonization! It is the pivot away from our normative future idealized perfect states of peace or harmony we envision, to the future as friction movement and energy as a living future.

✋ WORK AND LEARNING FOR THRIVABLE FUTURES

What governments think: everybody is lost. The idea of automation has been looming for the last 30-50 yrs, but automation is not the answer. When it comes to creating new learning spaces - even new universities - and creating them as "digital first", decision makers do not know what needs to be done.

There is an important consideration about AI: AI in its present form doesn't have proper embodiment. It can't really interact with the real world - it can only interact with the data we provide. And, if not carefully managed, AI coupled with powerful humans can become an immense confirmation bias machine. Which, given the dominant opinions, over-represented data sets (that concern only things that are of interest to humans - and not ALL humans, but those who have the means to their ends) and the dominant ways of acting.

AI as such can serve the transformation cause, but we need a more skeptical and rebellious AI on our side. Some kind of "opponent processing" that we have thanks to our built-in duality of nervous system (left and/vs right brain, sympathetic and/vs parasympathetic system).

If AI is to replace much human work then learning to find your own purposes through self-directed learning in school becomes crucial - this learning to take place in schools that are managed democratically to that students learn to manage their wider communities - and the schools could become community learning centers.

Will humans withdraw from functions that will be accomplished by machines? The idea that if machines can do it we will withdraw - we go there too quickly. Humans need to bring human judgement, need to decide what to do.

What is the purpose of work - of education - of our life?
What would a stewardship economy look, feel, create?
What will work mean if it is regenerative? Young people extremely interested in purpose driven work
What does work mean if work is love?

There is a lot more to life , and education, than a life of work. Work to live, not live to work.
Seems like work is a derivative, we need to devote more time to discuss culture.

We need to move from the word "work" to the word "activity" and locate it in the flourishing paradigm
What education must do to enable the vision of flourishing?

In England the education system is built around telling 30% of our young people that they are ‘failures’ (GCSE examination). This creates anxiety in the ‘failures’ and the ‘successful.’ Surely at least part of curriculum time should be devoted to self-directed education around the interests, questions, concerns, passions of the students - this would prepare young people as self-starters with their curiosity still alive able to collaborate, create and care for each other. Our school systems are currently part of the catastrophe.

Education is the most powerful tool in transforming social reality. Education today is outcome driven - but can it be purpose driven? Being and not just doing. If the education were rebalanced, it would equip next gen to work on some of the massive challenges, would be reorganized around capacities other than only cognitive, and helping people to discover their purpose.

If we get it right, AI will help us in all of these tasks - if we get it wrong, it will be most destructive. AI can deepen the crisis of meaning - but it can help clear the clutter. AI could be shaped as superintelligence through its interaction with education for human flourishing.

Many local learning ecosystems in adverse circumstances are making sure first that child have pathways to thrive. Starting from the youngest age… What if we designed our educational scaffolding from birth forward. Early childhood has always been an afterthought.

Please think of these new systems for everyone, not just the privileged or those who can pay, or seem smart. The “least worthy, or forgotten” have so many gifts to offer.

Creating space for people to move from the old system to the new emerging is itself a politics. For schools and other learning institutions to become a place where purpose and flourishing are central space and time are required – but it could start and be implemented already tomorrow at no extra cost.

Human flourishing as the purpose of education - how about flourishing of all species? What if education systems served all of us - humans and also non-humans?
Natural ecosystems are the "vessel" of abundance of life - how can human systems nurture the similar intent?

What if our learning ecosystems were embedded in nature, place, and well-being? Why does it have to take place in a school? Why not engage with communities in all their complexity? Why not have co-generational learning groups addressing community challenges together?

⚒ CAPITAL & MONEY FOR THRIVABLE FUTURES

None of 17 SDGs will be achieved by 2030. Only 12% are on target.

Financial institutions felt the weight of expectations to become “drivers of positive change” in late 2010s. The Force of Good 2020 report was very optimistic - institutions recognizing the threat to the planet and investing more and more 2/3 of human population are not participants in the financial system however. It is not possible to level the world without massive regeneration of wealth. That requires systemic change we are not prepared to do.

Everything in our economic system is based on the utilization of fossil fuels. The new blueprint has not been discovered, including - what will be the underlying energy source.

The fundamental error - assuming that people with money would make choices to fund new models of economy. 130-150 Trillion USD need to be dedicated to "leveling up the world", around 40% of world's wealth.

There will be a massive disruption due to climate migration. Societies in the North are fragile, and this can bring them to chaos.

Nearly 60% world's money owned by individuals, 40% owned by govts - again controlled by individuals. The system is safeguard to keep the money where it is, not to move it to fund changes. Banks can do very little about the current situation – they are limited by regulation (including Central Banks).

Money will flow to solutions - it won't flow automatically. There are many limitations - and only innovative solution providers can get around that.

We don't really understand what money is. Circulation of money allows increase economic opportunities. It can finance shareholder capitalism - or welfare capitalism.

Planning approach "Soviet style" turned out to be extremely complex - the "American" is just giving money to the economy and let entrepreneurs "solve it" - the Japanese approach is "in between", high level planning and encouraging private initiative. the Chinese approach has won, entrepreneurship in consumer sector and planning approach in strategic projects. Yes, this is very much inspired by the Japanese post-war model. Today, with crypto solutions, we can create new financial models that can direct money to needs of people – for instance, projects that make contribution to GDP, contribution to HDI, not destroying / supporting environment, and supporting indigenous.

Finance is wielded by a narrow group and needs diversity. We can move money from harm to healing. Markets are not good at morality & building in new values. Can we find ways for alternative economic / legal models for finance - that support diversity, feminine, indigenous, ..? The indigenous peoples of the world have been holding important keys to true peace, freedom and harmony in the essence of who they are and in their core spiritual knowledge.

We need to reconsider our views on money, as people with heart often abdicate the financial. But we also need to dig deeper, in the field of anthropology. Money (as well as "work") has an enormously important anthropological dimension.

We need to recognize natural capital as something that is value-producing and something that also requires to be replenished / increased. Two main tools - accountability of ecosystem services and financial mechanisms like biocredits.

The answer is not just sustainability - but security. Something has been lost in pursuit of material wellbeing, and we are nowhere near enough.

What if the purpose of capital was flourishing life?

We need to map and spread solutions in fintech. We need big initiatives that shake things up and cross boundaries. If we price externalities - the financial system will support that.

⛲ WAYS OF BEING & LIVING

What is the most important daily practice in shaping thrivable futures?
Future is feminine. We need to strengthen the Deep feminine powers that are innate in all of us.
Connect nature to self to the sacred finding a rhythm,, acting in the moment to serve the beautiful
Teaching the wisdom ways to young people. Mentoring by weaving wellbeing with the younger generation.

What are barriers to outdoor education in current curriculums? To noticing what they notice in nature?
Community-based education & nurturing of children focusing on creativity, imagination, compassion, care for life on earth - being inspired by the children and learning from them - with them. Intergenerational weaving.

Allowing each other to enter childlike states of consciousness, be playful, silly, weird together even as adults fostering deep complexity being.

Meet people where they stand create human wellness and connection.

Being conscious of how strangers interact with us, smiling, giving thanks, the little micromoments of simple Love are so important.

Appreciation, deepen appreciation of our many gifts blessings and talents.

Problematizing is a pathology. Move from what ought to what is, as opposed from what is to what ought.

Loving the “other” to transform the conflict. Diffusion of boundaries when the relational intelligence is present, boundaries disappearing through love.

Own body relational well being with others and planet enacting the fractal structure.

“The Expanded Family” is a unit of divine, autonomous, sovereign beings, all seeking their unique destinies within the context of caring, consideration and respect for others achieved through conversation, listening, patience, kindness, empathy, compassion, playfulness and truthfulness, allowing the Universal Laws of perfect balance, abundance, harmony and win/win to manifest through letting go of fear, separation and doubt, moving into total trust of a universe driven by unconditional love. When we treat each other this way Globally/Nationally/In the Workplace/Schools/Home/and Self we access higher frequencies and bring Peace on Earth.

Coherence with planetary ways of being relationship with the land and place. Playful relating to mycelial ways of being and existing.

Also praying to the great spirit which is part of the great unknown, we can tap into this energy in a trusting, loving way and create an invisible field of love around us by remembering healing archetypes that live within us and around us.

Trusting the unknown comes from trusting the Loving Universe.

We ARE the Universe.

We are one life, a new conception of self.

❤️ PEACEFUL FUTURES FOR HUMAN SECURITY

There are so many sources of possible conflicts in the coming years - climate crisis, migrations, water crisis, etc. - that making sure that, as networks of networks, with many on the ground actors, we contribute to address some of these topical causes before the conflicts get starte

Human security -> human-centric security. Building up self-esteem & contentment. Growing security inside out/

Build the center - which is the sense of human contentment, self-esteem, (connection and belonging)….When you have a lack of want and need, you have a much greater sense of stability
Is there a dream (or even a need) to shift from human-centric security ideals to life-centric to Gaia-centric (and perhaps even to cosmo-centric) aims? - In terms of Evolutionary Development Goal

Peace is the ultimate source of human value.

Peacebuilding programs today don't have anything around inner peace. Many peacebuilding orgs don't know anything about inner peace. Peace starts within; peace within myself and with myself. Too many nations & orgs just try to stick the plaster and not recognize the deeper source. Finding the space in the middle of inner peace.

Promoting business cases around peace building - it is a value creating activity for cities, regions, companies, ... Tai-chi dance - go where there is violence & swing it with peace. Evolutionary Alchemy … transmuting crisis into opportunity.

Peace doesn't mean absence of violence? Peace is not the goal, it is the path.

Peace & violence are parts of spectrum. We can be in the condition of peace and recognize local & global violences happening. Stark or contrasting absolutes are only useful in defining a spectrum for discussion - but reality always exists in the grey area between black and white.

Peacebuilders are people who are comfortable to step out of the peaceful state into the void between peace & hate to create a dialogue. To grow the level of compassion, to step into the void
Peace entrepreneurship - do what we do - because its the right thing to do irrespective of the fear of failure or critique!

And an education which actively develops peace building, collaboration between youth. We come across learning communities in very adverse circumstances nurturing in their education models humility, dignity, compassion, dialogue, peace, imagination… in a very efficient way.

We try and defer peacebuilding to governance "rules" - without recognising that governance and laws are an OUTFLOWING of how we are deciding to be human together. and so, our focus should not be on the rules and regulations governing peace, but to focussing on our internal decisions about how we are wanting to be human together - and beyond that - with the global environment, how wer want to be alive on this planet together.

The huge problem in decision making is the lack of youth. Young people want to be heard and be in dec making - and moreover, young ppl don't want to go to wars and die.

Change depends on our capacity to imagine and play with other ways of being.
Fear has been used as a weapon and a means of control. Self-empowerment, claiming back control & power.

Peace needs to be actively managed, it is an ongoing campaign. It doesn't happen until strong leaders actively promote peace, Peace depends not on role-based leadership but on intent-based leadership. Peace is an action in the same way leadership is not a role but a behavior
It is a love in action and it is not soft.

We change behavior by manifesting it. Keeping yourself strong to be able to help others. Where do you start - you start with your next breath! "In the moment between the in-breath and the out-breath, that is where we live".... That is where we make the choice of our next lived moment of being

Global South & Indigenous

I have a dream we are the dream.

Arts and story-telling, our heritage and its links to the future - our dreams, dreaming and imagining, and the roles that the dreaming of generations of our ancestors and antecedents play - this is the future of education and learning.... indeed is the future of our humanity.

Every family in the community is connected to every family., You cannot be happy if your community is not happy.

The center of the mandala based community is a school - a different type of a school where stories and experiences and emotions are shared.

Learnings takes place in a living, breathing ecosystem - in the full presence and possibility of the environment we are participant in.

What we are? We are nature. But we've lost our capacity to be in sync. Ancestral knowledge of communities that have learnt to sync with the Earth is the knowledge we can use to realign ourselves
We need to put nature in the center of all our learning. Every living cell every element in our existence is learning... True Governance A Council of All Beings. Nature in the centre of learning, being in right relation. Coming into good relation with Self, Other, Nature – SON.

Awakening our capacity - our natural spirit - seeing the invisible, the energy flows. Understanding how our relations affect other relations. We connect with ourselves, our environment and ancestral knowledge.

We are indegeonizing education! Diversity it the true potential to express the fullness of life and being. Learning to use diversity to tell new stories. Co-creating the new story of a thriving planetary system.

The final exam is: what kind of ancestors will we be?

Intergenerational perspective

Learning questions - for learning that never ends:

• ·        What does it mean to be intergenerational? How do we tap into intergenerational collaboration? What frameworks, portals, case studies exist already? What does it mean to become conscious of our own intra-generationality? Our own past, present, future and alternative selves?
• ·        How do we include youth perspectives in authentic, non-tokenistic ways in political decision-making systems and education? still not listening truly and co-designing: how do we include the youth voice in these two systems?
• ·        What roles / archetypes are required in genuine intergenerational collaboration? (Elder, Ally / Accomplice, etc.) What is the role of diversity in intergenerational relationships? How to build trust, safety, etc amongst all these roles and positionalities? intergenerational practices, especially within organizations?
• ·        What traps / pitfalls do we have with current intergenerational spaces? Where is the resistance and rationale for people who are NOT practicing intergenerational collaboration already? (barriers, misconceptions, stigma, power & privilege, etc.). How do we weave our way out of these traps, fixed mindsets, and barriers?

This is (our) life's work, and the dreaming of the future. But we do have a lifetime! That's what we are here for!

Feminine perspective

We are labouring to birth a new future, drawing on the feminine energy of humanity is so essential
It’s a triple birthing, isn’t it: being Doulas or midwives of that which is being born; being mothers giving birth; and being that which is being born - all at once!

Every element has feminine and masculine energies… They happen in different states and manifest different energies depending on what is happening or what is needed. There is also so much feminine energy in elements like air or fire besides water.

Realizing to what degree I still assess the “value” of my own life as a woman from a male perspective - in terms of economic worth, or family roles played - and why not the communal perspective or the wisdom perspective? Value the production and nurturing of life. Our life is the work. The feminine is a process.

"To hold kindness, even as we look upon and feel awfulness".

From “divide and conquer” to “divine and concur”.

How to see the beauty of all living beings? this the feminine perspective, the feminine sense.

With a more whole and liberated feminine, this may give permission and soil to the masculine to find new ways too. There’s no wholeness without all energies of us.

“The eternal feminine draws us on high” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust
