β€œAs above, so below...”

At the moment this school opens, the world is on fire and humanity wonders when AI might get so performant that it replaces humanity.

One could seek to question how much of our Human-ness we renounced to in order to ever be considered replaceable by machines, or build systems consistently accelerating towards a self-destruction we’ve been foreseeing for decades. What if we could turn it all around by recovering something that has always been here and has always been ours: the totality of our essence as living beings?

Indeed, the β€œcollective” is the result of all the individualities it consists of and their interactions: the world we currently live in did not just happen, it is the visible part of dynamics underlying human decisions and values systems we can trace back to Neolithic 10,000 years ago (O. Hamant).
The multiple crises Humanity brought upon itself - and the rest of life on our planet - can be seen both as the symptoms of late stage toxic developments; and an invitation to look at all the parts of our living essence we had to leave behind for it to happen.

In order to facilitate the emergence of human societies that actively co-create and thrive together with the forces of life on Earth, Deep Wild School explores the reciprocal dynamics between inner liberation and systems change.

It draws on the reunion of ancient and modern wisdoms to act as an instrument for the recovery of all our humanity and intelligence to the service of joy, beauty, and liberation for all.
