The Values-Bases Question that we use to guide our every exploration:
"What it is going to take to midwife humanity to unite through the transitions we are experiencing and are yet to experience, as a species / ecosystem of this planet?"
Operating under the name of the 8th Flame Fellowship, our Core Principle is as follows: "service toward the welfare of humanity", believing deeply in the role
of being "companion travellers" to those on a spiritual journey. We offer an ecumenical and interfaith approach to educational programs to facilitate individuals in their personal spiritual growth and to study in-depth the spiritual practices of people all over our globe. We believe much of the human difficulties around the world stem from a lack of cultural and religious understanding, compassion and tolerance, and we hope these programs will encourage dialogue and understanding. Our Fundamental Practices are therefore:
> To encourage people to access, rediscover, learn, develop and practice their innate abilities - spiritual, mental, emotional, physical, material.
> Drawing from teachings that access a scientific reference for spiritual practice
> Discouraging adherence to rigid dogmas and tenets.
> Believing that no single set of fixed rules is applicable to everyone. We understand that in an era leading into Deep Adaptation, that the way to , is for as many humans as possible to explore and discover new and different pathways for "continuous progressive revelation". In essence, it's time... for more of us to learn what working better, together, looks like. Consequently, we collaborate willingly and eagerly with people from a range of faiths, disciplines and industries who:
1) Are willing to explore what it really takes to be in conversations differently - day to day.
2) Are curious to find out what it means to allow, accept and embrace "emergence" as a way of life.
3) Are drawn toward adventures that are all about learning from "the field" and letting IT, lead YOU.
