Syntropy: The Living Heart of Radical Human Ecology

As individuals shaped by the Western mind, many of us have experienced a profound forgetting—a disconnection from Nature, from Herstory, from Eco-Sophia, and therewith from the living abundance that is part of our Original Blueprint. In this, as a people, we have forgotten how to truly relate to our cells, our deeper ecology, our Syntropic Human Nature.

Our Centre for Syntropy helps you see and feel again the miracles and beauty we can have access to through devotion, study, and training our minds. This we call simply "re-membering."

We teach how to ask the questions that unlock the mysteries of Syntropy and Life itself, so that a world full of truth and wonder can come alive again.

Perhaps a deeper truth resonates within, but has not yet been fully understood: As within, so without; as below, so above. Syntropy is the Missing Link.

Syntropy & Homecoming

To study Syntropy is to come home. It is a return to authentic relationship, to connection, to a comprehension of life that inspires awe. Through Syntropy a reclamation of empowerment, remembering that navigating WITH Life's inherent intelligence, is only Natural.

We have been programmed to operate on artificial scarcity and the mentalities of domination and control, Syntropy teaches us how to dissolve and renew our minds as we remember our wiring for Love, for abundance, and for collaborative prosperity that flows in concert with all Life.

Starting that Journey of Homecoming

Our exploration often begins with the tangible wisdom of Syntropic Agroforestry, where Nature herself becomes the primary teacher. This practice, a missing link between conservation and food production, systematizes indigenous Amazonian forest stewardship into a science-based, regenerative approach.

Here, in the living ecology of the SARI (Syntropic Agroforestry Research Institute) that Souvereign founded, we observe Nature's natural orientation: a collaborative dance among plants and wildlife that fosters biodiversity, resilience, and abundant yields.

This profound understanding of ecological succession and interconnectedness provides a tangible template, a roadmap for land regeneration, and moreso for Syntropic Human Ecology itself—guiding communities, families, and individuals back into harmonious relationship with Mother Earth's Nature.

The heart of this journey lies in recognizing the Syntropic Nature of Life as the foundational lens through which we view our human ecology.

This framework challenges the Cartesian ontology of traditional human ecology, which often fails to integrate humanity as an inseparable part of Life on this Earth.

Syntropy asserts that our inherent nature is wired for love, freedom, self-sovereignty, co-creation and collaboration. Although we use external Human Ecology to observe Syntropy's process of succession, accumulation, to perceive what has been lost and what is still alive in Bali, the Internal Landscape: Our Inner Human Ecology is where we tend to our own mindgardens to allow Syntropy's innate wisdom to come alive again.

There are 3 core principles:
Syntropy,
as the inherent tendency towards order and energy convergence;
Radical Self-Love,
as the profound self-acceptance that empowers harmonious relating; and
Self-Sovereignty,
as the embracing of innate authority and conscious participation in life.

These principles are vital antidotes to the critiques of the Western worldview, which prioritizes competitive individuality, often leading to koyaanisqatsi—a world out of balance.

Studying Indigenous Lifeways of Peace & Prosperity

The study and observing of indigenous perspectives reveal imbalance with striking clarity, contrasting the Western perception of a "wilderness" with the understanding of Earth as a tamed, bountiful garden.

The concept of Wetiko, a parasitic spirit driven by greed and selfish consumption, powerfully illustrates the societal illness of a "loss of soul" that Radical Human Ecology seeks to heal.

Syntropy offers the path to reclaim this soul, to re-ground reason in humility, and to foster empathy beyond nihilistic critiques.

Roadmap for Resolving through Eco-Sophianic Awareness

Syntropy is used as the roadmap for an Inner Hero's Journey, where Sophianic Teachings of Herstory provide the essential Wisdom and Love. In our journey work we unveil the distorted "fantasy of Entropy" — the belief in a universe tending towards disorder — Syntropy illuminates this illusion that primarily operates within the human mind.

In truth, all of Life operates on and in Syntropy; even what appears as entropic performs a function towards greater Syntropy.

The crucial question becomes: are you making use of the function that seems entropic, or are you following old programming that stalls growth and renewal?

Are you using your Will to activate your physiological biometric to perform its natural functions, allowing you to feel free, fearless, and self-Souvereign, operating from Love for the peaceful coexistence of all Life?

Studying from the Heart of Nature's Wisdom: EcoSophy

When you come here, you continue onto a path of EcoSophy which is a field study, an immersion into the wisdom of the Earth herself. This study field is all about returning to innate natural knowings, giving you the language so we can more clearly recognize that Life is animated from a Spiritual plane, a truth often absent from our modern lexicon.

We are intentional with language, viewing EcoSophy beyond wisdom about the Earth, and truly as the wisdom of the Earth made manifest when we listen with love, moving beyond purely philosophical traditions into a deeper, living relationship with Life's Spirited Nature.

This reconnection extends to understanding the "hidden hand of God," the Golden Ruling in Life that binds all living things in a continuous spiral of growth, succession, and the accumulation of Life Density.

The intricate strategies of Syntropy, as they play out in our physiological, mental, and emotional landscapes, based on our spirited nature as souls within a body, unveil how deeply flawed many adopted beliefs are.

With that Syntropy activates an internal "lie-o-meter," allowing you to navigate fear, projection, and avoidance stemming from culturally induced traumas, and remembering how to transform them into opportunities for growth and freedom.

This is the essence of Syntropy: a collaborative, regenerative approach to Life that mimics Nature's own patterns. By understanding how plants and wildlife cooperate to enhance biodiversity and yield, we learn to emulate ecological cycles to promote resilience in all our endeavors. This is the wisdom that guides you; Syntropy reminds us what it truly is to be Human.

Your cells know, Beloved.

This is the invitation to an immersion in Bali, to explore Syntropic Human Ecology as a redesign system for your Life, Mission, and Purpose.

It is the call to re-member, to listen, to feel, to reveal, and to see with unclouded eyes, anew, through willful self-inquiry and open curiosity.

Radical Human Ecology: Fieldstudy Your Nature

 Reclaiming Our Innate Nature

The concept of Radical Human Ecology is becoming increasingly vital for understanding our place within the natural world.

It challenges conventional views, urging a deeper connection to life's regenerative principles. Most traditional definitions of human ecology, often grounded in a Cartesian ontology, fail to recognize humanity as an implicit part of Life, embedded within a vast web of mutual and symbiotic interrelations.

Critique of the Western Worldview

A central critique of the prevailing European worldview, termed "Euroman" philosophy, highlights its emphasis on competitive individualism over the mutuality of relatedness. This perspective often overlooks our intrinsic "debts" to interconnected systems, a concept powerfully articulated by philosopher V.F. Cordova. The modern Western mind often struggles to acknowledge these substantial connections, frequently operating in a state of koyaanisquatsi (a world out of balance). The imperative lies in re-grounding reason in humility and cultivating empathy, transcending nihilistic postmodern critiques to reconstruct a graceful, life-affirming approach.

"To many indigenous peoples the European worldview is damaging their way of life... There are no self-made persons. There are only those who cannot (or refuse to) acknowledge their debts." — V.F. Cordova
"Only to the White man was nature a “wilderness” and only to him was the land infested by “wild” animals and “savage” people. To us it was tame." — Luther Standing Bear, Land of the Spotted Eagle
"Wetiko is an Algonquin word for a cannibalistic (parasitic) spirit that is driven by greed, excess, and selfish consumption... It deludes its host into believing that cannibalizing the life-force of others... is a logical and morally upright way to live." — Alnoor Ladha and Martin Kirk, Seeing Wetiko

• Syntropy: Our inherent tendency towards order, organization, and energy convergence—the driving force behind natural, regenerative processes.

• Radical Self-Love: Profound self-acceptance and care that empowers personal growth and harmonious relationality with all life.

• Self-Sovereignty: Embracing innate authority and wisdom, cultivating autonomy and conscious participation in your life and the world.

"Dream Wisely"

Indigenous Perspectives and the Loss of Soul

Indigenous worldviews offer a stark contrast to Western thought, perceiving nature not as a "wilderness" but as a cultivated, abundant Earth. The historical narrative, as reflected by Luther Standing Bear, indicates a disruptive force that introduced imbalance. The concept of Wetiko, an Algonquin term, describes a parasitic spirit driven by greed and selfish consumption, embodying the notion that exploiting others and nature is a rational way of life. This points to a deeper societal "illness"—the loss of soul—which Radical Human Ecology seeks to remedy by advocating for its reclamation.

The Internal Landscape: Your Inner Human Ecology

This fieldstudy emphasizes the profound significance of our internal landscape—the "inner quanta" of our human ecology. It posits that human nature is inherently syntropic, intrinsically wired for love, freedom, self-sovereignty, and collaboration. The journey towards New Earth Living commences with a conscious choice to reclaim one's life, recognizing the power of one's voice, and embarking on a "Brave New Life." This involves nurturing our "mindgardens" in syntropy with life, transmuting unnatural thought frequencies such as shame, guilt, and resentment.

Welcome to the School of Syntropy

Sophia, the eternal wisdom, that we unlock by understanding Syntropy's design, is offered to help you remember your own innate and deep connection to Life.

We were meant to be a keystone species on this Earth, but instead of humanity knowing deeply that it is part of our Earth, humanity operates on beliefs held in their minds that doesn't yet know that itself is also made of the same mysterious life force that animates all of Life. This is the beauty of remembering Syntropy and our opportunity to become again a Keystone Species.

Our "School" is really a journey of re-membering. Unearthing suppressed knowings that are inherently part of us so we can return to a place of true wholeness from where we then become again a Keystone species, which then will make the Human Hero's journey even more amazing!

Just imagine if you could indeed commune with Life because your mind is no longer clouded with programs from the Western world, but you have opened up your Original Heart Centre again to relate and connect with Life and you speak the Language of Syntropy through your Heartsong. Far-fetched? Come and dream awake what has long been waiting for you.

Syntropy is Life’s own strategy—a continuous, beneficial flow from the microbiological to thriving ecosystems, always creating abundance and consolidating “Life Density” into its system. When you study Syntropy, your mindset, which we see as a mindgarden, becomes recultivated, and then all your accumulated knowledge and life experience can become purposefully directed and uplevelled, with a little bit of Syntropic Management of that Agroforest that you are.

Our School observes the functionings of the Agroforest within the human sphere. And so with our teachings, we can help you guide your life’s navigation away from entropic, fear-based mindsets and control and into a syntropic flow.

Building New Earth Communities

Designing living Human Ecology systems, particularly communities, requires a foundational comprehension of our human nature. Our approach, inspired by ancient lifeway teachings and syntropic agroforestry, helps community builders from the inside out. Comprehension of our Human Nature is our prerequisite for designing Living Human Ecology Systems (communities).

We believe deeply that a much more Radical Human Ecology is necessary to gain a true meta perspective on "how we got here," examining the succession in human ecology through time. We invite anyone genuinely interested in deepening their understanding in these Fields of Syntropy to join us.

Explore Syntropy through Ecosophy with Us

EcoSophy at the Center for Syntropy offers field study orientations to help you return to innate natural knowings of how Life within our Human Ecology truly functions. By re-engaging with Syntropy, we remember what has been lost from our modern worldview. 

We are intentional with the meaning and root meaning of words, viewing eco-sophy as exploring the wisdom of, and intrinsic in, Nature. We aim to move beyond the confines of Western philosophy into a deeper relating with Life's Spirited Nature. 

As Raimon Panikkar stated, "Ecosophy is neither a mere ’science of the earth’ (ecology) nor even ‘wisdom about the earth’, but rather a ‘wisdom of the earth herself’ that is made manifest to man when he knows how to listen to her with love."

We offer internships in Bali, where through immersion in rich living ecology—culturally, spiritually, and environmentally—you can explore Syntropic Human Ecology as a re-design system approach for your Life, Mission, and Purpose. Your cells know; reach out now.
