The retreat is sponsored by astraea.

astraea focuses on sharing technology related to system change on personal through organisation levels.  The astraea website introduces the overall approach and some key ideas.  Taking a universal perspective on systems reveals a complex yet coherent integral system of sub-systems, a holonic structure and dynamic.  But more of that on astraea.net.

Interesting and useful ideas on the website include the financial explanation of sustainability, showing it to be a low challenge. In fact, the minimum required for survival is to be sustainable.  A more sophisticated objective fitting of humanity's capacities is to thrive.  Thriving systems are possible.  They exist in nature.  That is the dynamic of nature.  Nature is our teacher.

Welcome to the Zen Garden Retreat.  A special place in nature where we are lucky to have the chance to touch nature, be with nature, learn from nature, love nature.
