We believe that the challenges we face in the world today require

fundamentally new approaches and perspectives.

We believe that in order for fundamental change to take place,

not only institutions but people's values must change,

that inner transformation is essential in achieving happiness, kindness and peace

on both the personal and systemic level.

We believe that spiritual wisdom and contemplative practices

from many different traditions around the world

have much to offer today in redefining our values

so that we can rethink our relationships

with ourselves, others, our communities and the environment. 

Our work is about reflecting as a humanity on the fundamental questions

about who we are, the meaning of life, and true happiness.
