The point is, as I repeatedly have argued across the Gaia Education’s design for sustainability/regeneration program, by acknowledging ecology as the crux of our human priorities we in fact can improve our conversations, i.e., our communicational processes such as democracy, governance, conflict resolution as well as the plenty of meaningful concepts we addressed by means of this learning process (Gaia Education, 2018). ![]() One of the most essential things and therefore one of the most difficult to grasp is that our humanity ‘inter-is’ with the whole community of life, sharing the same ‘universal breath’ with every specie and integrating Gaia as a superior living system. And even though the fox reveals it as a ‘very simple secret’, our prevalent reductionist sociocultural/economic outlook certainly dims our ability of ‘seeing what is essential’. To communicate with heart firstly demands us to learn ‘seeing with heart’. ![]() ![]() ‘And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly what is essential is invisible to the eye.’ ‘What is essential is invisible to the eye,’ the little prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.Ĭonversation between The Fox and The Little Prince (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
