The Human Biodiversity Model

WOW Bali is looking into the forces and properties of the human wellbeing as the key towards a return to the balance in nature's biodiversity. Once we find the forces that make us most dynamic, sustainability will emerge as natural as everything else in the planet. A whole range of programs have been developed by WOW Bali as a holistic response to the various aspects of diverse human experience.

It should start with one's Dynamic Wellness, which deals with one's human body and the concept of self. After this comes Sustainable Dynamics, the community-based model for human biodiversity. The purpose of cultivating a sustainable human biodiversity is for humans to be more connected with nature. WOW Bali believes that humans are not outside of nature's dynamics; natural aesthetics, which allows us to appreciate nature's beauty and be in harmony with creation, is inherent in every culture.

WOW has extensively researched and worked around the area of learning that has been considered to be among human's highest abilities. Learning, for WOW Bali, is a form of celebration. It has developed Celebration Programs that inspire human creative potential especially among children to allow them freedom to learn and empower them with the creative autonomy to take greater actions based on their creative awareness. Recently, WOW is investigating the relationship of love and creativity, love being the highest of human emotions and creativity as human's highest ability. This creative autonomy seems to be a prelude to active, transformational leadership. WOW deviates from the old leadership paradigm that espouses the leader-follower dichotomy. The function of the leader nowadays is not to create an army of followers but to inspire new leaders.

Community outreach for WOW Bali necessarily has to build human connections in holistic participation. It applies new celebrations that are universal and have the most affect within the community. And while there may be different ways of celebrations across cultures, WOW's adherence to a global society inspires a framework for cultural fusion to bridge understanding not only between eastern and western cultures but also between generations (ancient/ traditional and modern) that will define our vision of a sustainable future.

Lastly, WOW Bali supports Social Holistic (So-Ho) Entrepreneurship as a regenerative model for the development of business enterprises to support the sustainable dynamics of communities. With this, WOW collaborates with local entrepreneurs who have the right intention and sustainable resources and for creative economics.

WOW's holistic participatory approach towards sustainable development may be the key to finding the balance in our planetary biodiversity-- one in which human activity no longer threathens the planet's ecology, but naturally sustains it instead.

COMMENTS & FEEDBACK

Sustainable Dynamics WOW's Sustainable Dynamics brings a whole new perspective and inspiration to collaboration and the sharing of resources for the cultivation of sustainable culture and communities. See how sustainable dynamics function from the regional collaboration level to the individual organization level.	New Celebrations WOW Sustainable Outreach is based on "celebration and ceremonial" events. This allows our efforts in holistic participatory development to have the "most affect" within our communities. We believe that at the end of our efforts in sustainability, there will be a celebration of abundance. Therefore, let's start with the "celebration and sacred balance" here in the NOW!	Creative Autonomy Learning is our highest celebration; a form of ceremony in and of itself. To approach the learning process with respect creates deeper understanding. When one recognizes the value of what is being learned, one is empowered and inspired to take greater positive action. The highest context for learning is when one has the freedom to create and follow his/her own process and purpose. Creative autonomy, humanity's highest attribute, is the force and property in our learning celebrations.
Cultural Fusion With globalization encroaching on cultures, holistic cultural collaboration addresses global holistic participatory concerns related to the sustainability of the planet. Identifying cultural diversities not only allows us to celebrate uniqueness, but to define the sacred balance of sameness among cultures. In this sacred balance we can bridge understandings and co-create a more dynamic future.	SO-HO Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial models have reached new heights in sharing prosperity with communities, producers, and farmers. Organic production, however, has to be redefined for real sustainability; otherwise modern organic lifestyle advocates can be just another business middleman making organic farming unsustainable for local farmers.	Active Leadership "To be a good leader one must learn how to follow," is an old paradigm. In today’s sustainable development, everyone needs to take leadership by taking responsibility for our actions. The new framework of leadership, an active form of conscious thinking, must be adaptive to empower every level of engagement regardless of “level of consciousness.” Active and dynamic exchange via different intelligence modalities within this conscious framework empowers leaders to inspire holistic participation.
Dynamic Wellness The forces and properties of wellbeing are the core of harmonious connections with the self, others, and nature. When the inherently sustainable “operating system” of the body (“thinking body”) is combined with a balanced mind on the conscious and unconscious levels, wellbeing is achieved. A balanced mind via "dynamic processes" in concert with the "thinking body" develops one's forces and properties of wellness.	Natural Aesthetics Human aesthetic, derived from multiple intelligences as well as cultural perceptions and/or conditionings, weighs greatly in who we are. This aesthetic dictates the way we receive and transmit information, and influences our actions and creations. Beyond aesthetic conditioned by culture, there is a basic human understanding that reconnects us with nature’s beauty and allows us to work with nature synergistically.
