About Holos
from holosearthacademy.org
The festival honours the legacy of Jan Christian Smuts, whose 1926 book Holism & Evolution laid the foundational groundwork for holistic thought.
What is Holos.Earth?
We are building an international network of individuals and organisations to explore how to shift thinking and practice to the holistic perspective. This transformed world-view will better address the complex challenges of the 21st century.
Living a Holistic Life
Whilst the prevailing mechanistic and materialistic worldview has brought numerous advantages, it is now recognised as having separated us from natural organic life processes.
Restoring Our Connection
We are committed to discovering together how to personally live a holistic life to assist with the process of building self-organising communities of practice engaged in applying the holistic perspective.
