What we do

Premise: “The world we have made as a result of the level of thinking we have, creates problems that we cannot solve at the same level of thinking at which we created them”. We must change our mental condition for us to change our social, economic and ecological circumstances.
Action: Increase a number of fundamental capabilities in the community members through a real-life, comprehensive learning process that will enable us to co-creatively build the life we have reason to value.
Condition: To ensure that the change is truly rooted in our people and therefore socially, economically and culturally sustainable and compelling, Isinilang na Maharlika must be a participatory process. This requires the attainment of a delicate balance between external inputs – capital, materials, technologies and expertise – and the internal resources of community members, while concentrating on strengthening and enlarging the capabilities of the community members to integrate and shape the creative process.
Outcome: A tangible and experiential proof of concept in the form of Isinilang na Maharlika Ecovillage that a prosperous life for all is very possible in a socially and ecologically harmonious manner, which can be replicated and scaled in other towns and provinces, and will be an inspiration and catalyst for people to implement these same changes in their own lives, organizations and communities:

  • An education system that enables and facilitates the development of each person’s full potential as human being
  • Ecologically resilient lifestyles in a regenerating natural environment
  • Meaningful economic activities that generate sufficient income for dignified and desirable lifestyles for all members

La Dimensión Social del Diseño Regenerativo

Are you looking to consciously re-invent cooperative and harmonious ways of living and working together? If so, how do we design solutions for group development, leadership, conflict resolution, decision-making, creativity, social justice and communication? Join Gaia Education’s Social Design for Sustainability course and learn practical effective ways to create the change we all seek. Our distinct programme is your chance to learn about the different ways to participate in this (r)evolutionary shift in paradigms. Our aim is to give you a better understanding of the true meaning of social equity and participatory action, and to enable participants to apply transformative tools that align us with more resilient social systems. Our relationship with others is too dear to let it default to old domineering paradigms. Many of us feel that our current social system is no longer sustainable and that more compassionate and just ways of organising are possible, but what are the alternatives? It is a commonly held belief that there are things individuals can do to change the system or improve their social condition but within the context of a complex global community, the effectiveness of isolated individual action is limited. We all co-create the system in which we live so once we join with others and work for a shared vision to improve the situation in our communities we participate in a powerful force for positive change If you have been part of a group, you already know that one of the most common reasons for failure of group projects is conflict. Conflict is a structural issue in the formation of groups so propagating successful group projects will necessarily entail a healing process in which we step out of the cycles of pain and violence that have run through human history and take responsibility for initiating new patterns. Rediscovering the beauty, compassionate nature and innate power of human beings
