How did this emerge - and what is the first phase of this story? Our - Maria Skordialou and Sarah Whiteley's work, through Hara took us to different parts of the world where individuals, organisations and communities people who were seeking the new by shifting to their next level, through a new consciousness that nourishes life - invited us to hear the first level of call not just at the personal or small group level but within the World at large - the call to return from fragmentation to wholeness.
We witnessed the magic when individual and collective courage merged to call in the new. This co-evolving consciousness invited individuals to offer their passion with responsibility to what was needed in service of a collective whole that simultaneously nourished all levels of life. What we saw was the unfolding of a collective presence, - a wholeness - a community consciousness that came from everyone and belonged to no-one at the same time. This gave rise to new human organising patterns and practices that were generative, productive and created wise actions that made a difference.
This glimpse into the promise of what our humanness could also be, called us to not only practice this ourselves but called us to seek the next level of co-evolution through a real time inquiry, in a physical and practical way that would bring greater connection to nature and the natural cycles of the Earth, plus build an ongoing relationship with place, as well as create an economy of wholeness one that sought to keep 'home' in order through respect of giving and receiving. A space where people could learn, co-create, practice and live wholeness so that the seeds discovered within and with others could be planted elsewhere in homes, in work places, in communities, in governments, etc.
Axladitsa-Avatakia in southern Pelion, Thessaly, Greece, heard the longing - sent out it's own call - and became this place of home a living systems container where we could gently let go of our outdated systems and practice and live new systems of wholeness and influence, ourselves and in co-creation with others.
The work of Harε continues in the world...
