Ikigai - Finding Your Reason for Being

Serrallach went on to describe that while some of his patients have developed great regimes of nutrition, lifestyle activities and movement to support their wellbeing; those without a clear sense of purpose in their life experience continuing struggle with physical health issues. The distinguishing quality of many of his healthiest patients – those who transcend common health challenges despite not having lived by the book, in terms of healthy lifestyle factors – is that they seem to be the most aligned or ‘called’ towards some primary focus of meaning in their life.

Earthdance: Chapter 20 - Sustainable Society. Sustainability is now widely discussed, at conferences, in the media, among people in the street.

Earthdance: Chapter 20 - Sustainable Society

Despite heated debates, many people do not have a clear idea of what it means. This is not surprising, since visions of what sustainability might look like are virtually absent from these discussions except among people such as Bioregionalists and Futurists who are not yet widely represented in the population. On the whole, the debates are based on fragmented worldviews that make it difficult to understand the issues holistically.

Remarks on modernity, mobility, nomadism and the arts by Dr Michael Haerdter

It has always been ‘on the move’. Think of the billions of years of the coming into being of the Earth and the planetary system which an initial impulse maintains in wonderful rotation. Think of this solar system on its enigmatic shift in time and space. Think of the newest “String Theory“s vision of the Universe as a unique and constantly swinging symphony.

What were your 'light bulb moments' in understanding the way the world works? Here are mine -Low impact living info, training, products & services. Here’s a rash statement, but I believe it to be true. Most people these days know, either rationally or intuitively, that humanity is heading in the wrong direction. If you ask people whether we’ve seen the back of ecological calamaties, financial collapses, corruption, poverty or war, most people, I think, would say that ‘we ain’t seen nothing yet’.

I haven’t done the market research, but it’s the feeling I get from all kinds of people I talk to.
