What would an education aimed at awakening wisdom look like?

There is a division within us between knowledge and love. Between what we know and what we feel. This inner division distances us from what we see with our inner eyes and leads us to obey the majority’s orders. Educating today, young people and adults, involves instilling an attitude of love towards all things. We need silence, developing perception and authenticity while speaking our truth to connect with our own voice and learn to trust our inner experience. Follow our own path, to connect with others and with the Earth.

We are collectively generating a new civilizational narrative, a worldview. It is an exceptional moment that requires us to give ourselves fully to the times, to give what each of us can uniquely contribute to this transformation. We are experiencing a new beginning.

What is the blind spot that does not allow us to change the way we relate to the Earth?

In a context of threats, of the return of xenophobia and totalitarianism, with environmental collapse on the horizon, it is more necessary than ever to open up perspectives, to see beyond the threat and the reaction of fear. How can I listen to the other who represents a world opposite to the one that makes sense to me?

What is the blind spot that prevents us from changing the way we relate to the Earth? The way we perceive ourselves in relation to water and wind?

We read inspiring texts, primordial wisdom, but they are contents that we mentally sort out and do not turn us upside down as we would like. We are attached to thousands of beliefs and habits that sustain the world as we know it. More than previous generations, we are aware that the way we look and think shapes our reality, but deep down we do not believe it, we do not want to undertake the adventure of being more than individuals.

Perceiving reality from a holistic perspective, understanding it philosophically without separating it from experience, including sensitivity in the understanding of spirituality, seeing the human species as another function of the living organism we call Earth. All these collective learnings are the backdrop of Uniterra’s approach.

Uniterra was born from the vision of a radically interdependent and shared world. From traditions of wisdom and emerging intuitions, which advocate for lifestyles that are respectful of the Earth and its communities.

For 3 years we have developed a pilot training proposal, “Habitar el Món”. Designed for young people of university age and adults of any origin, “Habitar el Món” is an invitation to summon collective wisdom in a moment of great disorientation. We need skills to manage personal and community conflicts, clarity to design new political and economic maps to work in favor of the common good. We need a broad and complex vision of the reality of the world today as well as systemic tools to undertake substantial changes in culture and education.

Uniterra is a learning community which bows to the evidence that this civilization is ending, and is willing to write new stories about the meaning of human life on Earth. Stories emancipated from technoscientific discourse and abstract rationalism, which recover symbolic and mythical language to establish new knowledge about reality and to create future references for young people. We write after listening to what the wind or the storm tells us. We want to learn from the Earth and recover the ability to live in harmony with her.
