Sympatheia
“Sympatheia” is the belief in mutual interdependence (Inter-being) among everything in the universe, that we are all one. It is an invitation to us to take a step back, zoom out and see life from a higher vantage point than our own.
Sympatheia is a blog which focusses on highlighting new, integral breakthroughs in the understanding of values, cultural systems and world-views in order to positively influence the creation of regenerative cultures aligned with the evolution of life.
