Pathways to Sacred Economics

Sacred Economics and Sacred Commerce are philosophies for business practices that are grounded in ecological sustainability, social justice, spiritual well-being, and ethics. It contrasts with the current global economic structure that operates from the perspective of scarcity, greed and unending growth.

Sacred Economics comes from the perspective that the entire global economy needs to restructure itself and explores practices such as localized economies, wealth redistribution, and the importance of recognizing and honoring our interconnectedness with the natural world. Sacred commerce is a guideline for entrepreneurs that promotes the idea that business can be a platform for spiritual growth and positive social impact.

In this Sacred Inclusion Network gathering, we'll begin by examining the the principles of Sacred Commerce and Sacred Economics, address some of the obstacles of transitioning into this new paradigm, and highlight communities moving in this direction.

This is a network Community Night, led by members for members and friends and supporters. It will be facilitated by Ian Lewis And Arturo Gonzalez.

Ian is the Assistant Director of the Sacred Inclusion Network. He lives in Southern Ecuador where he works on an organic market garden that produces fresh food for the local community at the weekly Organic Market. His experiences include spending a year and a half coaching basketball in Bangkok, Thailand and Hong Kong and he attempted to visit the seven chakras of the world, falling short and visiting four.

Arturo is a yoga and movement teacher based in Heredia, Costa Rica. He and his family grow food, free from pesticides and chemicals, make compost to restore the land, and use holistic eco-friendly practices as much as they can. He's particularly interested in the Venus Project, which presents a new socio-economic model utilizing science and technology toward social betterment to achieve a sustainable civilization.
