Auroville Campus Initiative
aci.auroville.orgA degenerative culture is spreading through the globalised economic system resulting in three types of disintegrations across the world: Disintegration with Nature: loss of natural systems, global warming, etc. Disintegration of Society: loss of social cohesion, local cultures, and cultural diversity Disintegration of Ourselves: loss of identity, purpose and psychological wellbeing In other words, the world is witnessing a growing disintegration - of our relationship with ourselves, our society, and Nature creating a degenerative culture across the globe. To overcome this growing degenerative culture, economic and technological means are necessary but not enough. We need something more. We need a fundamental change in that which creates cultures - human consciousness. Human consciousness behind degenerative culture is egocentric, i.e. a culture where each individual is focused on his narrow self-interest (I, me, myself). This needs to shift. Integral education seeks to bring about this shift through its pedagogy and processes for the discovery of the soul, the part within us which is made of the True, Good and Beautiful, and is able to override the narrow self-interest of the ego. It does so, not in a cave, but through the development of our instrumental capacities and creative action in the world, and thus, it is a potent means of shifting cultures. We, at ACI, create transformative higher education programmes for youth and adults based in the integral educational framework to enable this shift towards a regenerative culture - a culture with harmonious relationships with ourselves, the society we live in, and the nature that surrounds.
