RELEVANCE OF OUR WORK:
Although the 21st century has proven to be an incredible time of innovation and growth, humanity is beset by an unprecedented degree of violence, political corruption, environmental degradation, social injustice, and psychological disorders. It is our belief that at the root of this human caused suffering are the mental imbalances of hatred, greed, selfishness, and delusion
, and until we adequately address these imbalances of the mind it will be difficult to create and sustain positive solutions toward our most difficult global challenges. For hundreds of years, contemplative practices have been used as a sustainable means for cultivating the mind and heart in ways that give rise to lasting fulfillment, compassion, and interconnectivity. Recently this has been corroborated by eminent scientists in prestigious universities who have confirmed that such practices have the ability to change the way human beings view and engage with the world. The work of the Flourish Foundation focuses on furthering the development of these contemplative approaches to support children, parents, teachers and all other members of the community in becoming effective instruments of positive change both individually and collectively.
