Wilderness Inspired Leadership and Discovery
This philosophy has evolved from an awareness that to be truly effective as human beings, we need to explore the wilderness within ourselves, to develop an appreciation and understanding of who we are.
With this internal exploration of our own personal wilderness within, we slowly come to the realization that we are unique human beings, with our own unique journey to live on this planet.
To begin this journey we need to experience and develop the tools necessary for a voyage of this nature. The primary tool we need is leadership, and fundamentally, leadership of ourselves.
With this discovery emerges an evolution and appreciation that to fulfill our own unique destinies in this world we need to lead ourselves, so that we can live lives of our own creation, as opposed to living lives of others, and society's expectations.
With this recognition develops an awareness for leadership by example, and not merely "being someone," but "doing something" with our lives, for family, community, the earth and ourselves.
And with this understanding of the necessity for self-leadership we realize that to lead ourselves we need to be sustainable in our thoughts, intentions and actions. We call this "harmonic leadership."
Harmonic leadership draws upon the seasons and the cycles of the earth. It does not create waste, but renews us from within. It means being conscious of our impact on others, our community, the planet, and ourselves. It means that we make conscious decisions based on a renewable future of energy for self, through responsible action.
To be truly effective leaders in today's world we need to base our actions on the example of nature, and the "real world." No creation of waste, or at least to the best of our ability. No exploitation of one, for the benefit of another. No obsession for profit before all else, without consideration of the "true costs" of doing business, and a consideration for future generations that will be living where we once were.
We need to be respectful of the fragility and the razor edged balance of our "self ecosystem" in the context, and interdependency to the eco systems of all living things on this planet.
With these thoughts in mind and in our hearts, we ask you to join us on a journey. A journey of self-discovery and leadership of who we really are, and what we can truly do on this ultimate adventure called life.
