A Socio-economic Academy for Self-to-Societal Transformation
The School of Soulidarity (SoS) is an attempt to bring wisdom back into our daily conversations by raising human consciousness through socio-economic storytelling and practical tools and by sharing case studies from around the world.
The call for Soul-idarity is a call of our current (post-truth/artificial intelligence) time and reality. It urges us to ‘lean-in’ to our associative impulses for the preservation of human ecology on our planet. From nature, to person, to systemic processes, everything depends on the ‘other’ worldly or other-worldly-wise forces of nature. From an idealistic/spiritual perspective, the manifestation of our Soulidarity impulse as perceived at the time of my writing is everywhere around us albeit ‘implicitly’ – ever-present yet not visible or spoken of in our day-to-day social dealings. The whole process, therefore, requires an unravelling of this process of human subsistence through a spiritu-economic lens to make sense of the human-cosmos relationality.
Our souls are crying/craving for a soul-to-soul connection with the integral ecology we are all part of.
"A new earth is creating itself through the womb of the
human heart".
The cyclical Soulidarity continuum is an existential integral emergence; at a time, in need of the human race’s subsistence on earth, urging them to participate as active agents in cosmic relationality between God (the creator) and (wo)man (the creation).
Meta-Paradigms - Societal Regeneration through Soulidarity
A paradigm is how we collectively think, rather than what we think.
Stephen Covey
"Liberation from the logic of ‘global forces’ implies ‘rethinking the world’: from a monocultural universe to a ‘pluriverse’. Diverse, local communities appear as the only viable option in order to take us beyond the limiting political dichotomy of socialist or capitalist ideologies."
(Esteva and Prakash, “Grassroots Postmodernism”)
.
Social movements and or ideologies start with an aim to either revolutionise current modes of thinking and being, the process of social regeneration, from our perspective, calls for revisiting our grounds of being (culturally and spiritually) to diagnose any dysfunctionalities, blocking the way to new ways of; being, thinking, knowing and doing - what we term as social innovation.
