These quotes from Marimba Ani describe the scope of this zone. Our intention is that we will embody and live these meaningful words.

"To the African, the sacred and the profane are close and can be experienced as unity. All of this is because of the multi dimensional nature of the African universe. Phenomena and events are understood on many levels at once. The African universe is alive and rich. It is filled with myriad possibilities. It is a phenomenal universe."

"Life, event and phenomena derive meaning, value or significance through relationship to an organic whole. The family or community is understood as just such a “whole.” And since nothing of significance is merely physical the community itself becomes a metaphysical reality."

The wisdom of insight, thoughts, and feelings comes to life through the creativity of the expressive arts when explored and embodied in relationships. Playing in the expressive arts, poetry, visual arts, dance, music, theater arts, is natural and available to everyone and profoundly awakens wholeness.

This zone brings forth direct expression of creativity known and shared free of critic and judgment, others telling us what to create, welcoming all interpretations and creative gestures

This quote from the Humanity Rising website describes the scope and intention of this zone. Our intention is that we will embody and live these beautiful and meaningful words from our Indigenous Elders.

“Clarity will emerge regarding how modernity’s most pressing problems such as conflicts, social injustices, and climate change are eliminated or sharply diminished when Indigenous ways of knowing inform how to live our lives. They will help us understand that there is a consciousness to which modernity can shift, and the need and processes for embodying the ‘new’ consciousness.”

The answer to enduring social change is transformation--transformation of self and of the people and organization with whom they are engaging.

The social justice activities support the goals of the activism while simultaneously calling forth ever-deepening transformation in all participants.

How can we as a species live love, trust, spirituality, safety, and social justice in each moment of our lives?

Whole human development brings forth transformative mutually beneficial trusting relationships, in each of us, among friends, peers, and relationships, and in all learning environments.

This zone emphasizes how we know ourselves and our world in the wholeness of our being.
