Authentic Culture

Authentic culturing happens when self-aware and reflexive people engage together in honest and non-judgmental community building. It is life serving and cosmological because culture is humanity’s contribution to the world. We nurture things that grow and construct things that do not grow (Building, Dwelling, Thinking, Heidegger, 1951). Healthy culturing starts with individual choices of integrity and authenticity. A society that has forgotten its true nature will fear authenticity and foster mentalities of separation, scarcity, and unworthiness. A society that remembers that its collective purpose can be built on the value of every citizen’s uniqueness will plant seeds for mindsets and creative endeavours that nurture individual and collective flourishing.
