Foundation for holistic flourishing

Flourishing is the state where a person has the ability to live a life that is authentic to the person, and rooted in their own considered understanding of what it means to live well. The state of Flourishing emerges when a person is able to form an appreciation for their own particular life, despite the stressors, successes, failures, triumphs and losses it encounters.

The Foundation for Holistic Flourishing aims to bring the knowledge of what it takes to flourish in life to varied constituencies of people. In doing so, it looks at the advances made in the social sciences, neuroscience and other sciences, philosophical positions on human flourishing through time and the spiritual sciences.  

Each human life contains immense potential. Societal structures, reigning ideologies, self-limiting beliefs, circumstances and nature can and do chip away at the psyche, leading to a loss of understanding about ourselves and those around us. This can often lead to emotional distress. 

To understand how we can flourish, we must examine each of the constraints placed upon us and develop greater self-knowledge. Modern science and ancient wisdom hold clues to the conditions which can create a mindset that can cope with the multiple challenges life brings. For those seeking to create better lives and communities, this knowledge is vital.
