About [Edit]
Our Mission
Island Foundation is a membership based 501 3 C non-profit educational organization. Our purpose is to foster the development of a more sensible human culture.
Our Values
Contemporary society faces difficult and vexing challenges including exploding population, deterioration of the environment, intense competition for resources, totalitarianism, violence and alienation.
To answer these challenges, we seek to develop a way of living based on these values:
peace
individual freedom, equality and human right
a focus on cooperation instead of competition
sustainability
community
the realization of our full human potential
reverence for life and diversity of expression
joyousness
Our Work
With an open philosophy guiding our work, Island Foundation uses
scholarly research, education, and practical experiments to explore
archaic and modern insights for their potential benefit to human
society. We have a special focus on ways to integrate these
principles into the patterns of daily life.
The work of the Island Foundation will be furthered by our web site,
conferences, publications, and our Sanctuary Project, in which we
examine the possibility of creating an experimental community based
upon principles uncovered in our research. We also provide a forum
for communication for like-minded
Our Ideas
We draw our inspiration and the name of our foundation from the work of Aldous Huxley, whose novel Island portrays a new culture based on the realization of what Huxley saw as our highest human potentialities. In carrying forward this vital vision, Island Foundation works toward cultural regeneration by deeply examining:
intentional communities
*the integration of the world's diverse cultures '
new scientific paradigms
the revival of archaic wisdom
human potential, humanistic and transpersonal psychology
memetics
new models of consciousness and methods of consciousness change
systems theory and chaos dynamics
other new ideas as we encounter them d organizations and individuals
scattered throughout the world
