The Tabula Project: Building a New Paradigm

Art can be a window into higher awareness. 

Patterns can be a means of expressing the inexpressible, where verbal communication fails. There are fundamental principles about the way things work. These principles can be captured in patterns.

We need a radical realignment of how we perceive ourselves in relation to each other and the environment on which we depend.

Participants will be encouraged to reflect on the following questions:

• “We need a radical transformation of our relationship with the environment on which we depend”. Do you agree with this statement?
• How might we foster wider recognition and understanding of our fundamental interdependence with each other and the biosphere?
• What do you consider to be the building blocks of a new paradigm that would equip us to rise to our serious social, environmental and systemic challenges?
