The evolution of a synergistic society is a natural and essential process.
Abraham Maslow, 1971
The expansion of transpersonal psychology to interpersonal, communal, and global systems will be explored and applications will be presented and discussed from a rich variety of perspectives. We will seek to apply transpersonal principles and practices in an engagement towards revealing the nature of the well-being within individuals, families, small groups, organizations and the global community. We will explore the nature of eco-unity and deep ecology where a fusion of individually held potentials, within the human community, forms a sacred habitat.
Presentations, workshops and other activities will explore the rich diversity of human potentials in order to create the conditions in the human community where all people have value and where that value is actualized. We will focus on the well-being through examining the role of education and learning, healthy-wholeness, global ecologies through the integration of transpersonal principles and practices. We will employ these principles and practices in concert in order to cultivate a deeper understanding of the human ecology. Our work together will seek to locate and then illuminate the makings of a synergistic global society.
