the education system of a new earth
If you want to change the world, change education – Nelson Mandela
What do you think of when hearing the word ‘education?’ Especially in the Western world, we think of classrooms with rows of students, rules and possibly punishment, exams and a one size fits all approach.
Typically we are taught what to think, not how to think as sovereign, unique beings. We become conditioned through early life, not awakened. We are taught to use logic, do equations and to learn a biased history of war, over mindfulness, non-violent communication, how to respect nature’s resources, how to grow food, self-love.
We aim to activate each individual’s potential. We cultivate people to nourish themselves and the world around them, for the benefit of all, not the benefit of the few.
neos·academy - previously The New Earth School, a self-funded CIC (not-for-profit Community Interest Company) is a deep response to the major planetary events unfolding around us. Our desire is to make the world’s niche expertise on how to live more inspired, holistic, eco-regenerative lifestyles and create a new earth together, accessible to everyone.
We are a new education system concept, sounding the clarion call for what ‘education or learning’ must become, for us and future generations to live harmoniously and healthily on this beautiful planet together.
Education must now be synonymous with evolution – with cultivating creative, sovereign solutionaries.
Purpose
We believe that creating a new earth requires three kinds of shifts in how we live.
One. An internal shift within each of us, in our attitudes, perspectives, habits.
Two. A shift in how we relate with one another, in our ways of communicating and collaborating.
Three. A shift in what we create in the world – what we build, how we work, how we interact with the environment.
Each dimension, from Self, to Relational, to Environmental, flows into the next, and grows in complexity whilst retaining coherent simplicity. It is this whole-systems, interconnected, inner to outer approach, that we believe will gradually, sustainably, create a new earth – one project at a time.
Through trusting in ourselves and making a courageous act of power to change the course and meaning of our lives, we are now part of the movement of people who are creating a new earth. Are you with us?
Vision
The vision for neos·academy (The New Earth School) is therefore to be a new education system that inspires and activates new ways of living on Earth that result in the greater self-actualisation of the individual, healthier ways of relating, working, and living together, and regeneration of the Earth.
Whilst our initial approach is aimed at adults, our intention as the vision unfolds is for this new education system to embrace all age groups – as it must. We see this being passed from adults to teenagers and children, through schooling, home education, and rites of passage.
We envision awake, heart-centred, empowered, resilient people, who know their truth and are following their dreams.
We envision communities and teams of people collaborating on solutions and co-creating their visions.
We envision projects – local, regional, global and online, spreading knowledge, seeding regenerative action, and building new centres of living.
We hope to see you in our online community and learning app, or in person in our village academy soon.
In love and community spirit,
Karen
