The World Is Not "Out There"

If we are interested in the evolution of consciousness and culture, one habit that we need to break is the tendency to speak about the world as if it exists "out there." From the perspective that I call evolutionary nonduality, we don't want to separate our self from the world process because when we do we fall into a false or dualistic way of thinking. We are not separate from the world process. In our own small way, we're all contributing to where we're going. The choices we make, the actions we take, what we say, what we don't say, are all adding to the momentum of the vast cosmic unfolding.

When we really embrace the TRUTH - that we are not separate from the process that created us, then we need to become very clear about all the ways in which we are actually affecting the process, so that we can begin to more consciously impact its momentum in positive and evolutionary ways.

To echo Leonardo’s passion for Nature and as part of the long-term creation of Leonardo’s Garden, Le Clos Lucé and its young visitors are involved in a project of co-development and sustainable development, paying part of each child’s entry fee to the NGO “SOS SAHEL”.

 

The objective is to finance a programme of reforestation in the Sahel, the vast arid region that borders the south of the Sahara. Following in Leonardo's footsteps, Le Clos Lucé thus intends to make each of its visitors aware of the need to protect the environment and, more specifically, of the questions of desertification and reforestation.

After 36 years of working across the drylands of the Sahel, we at
SOS Sahel International UK has closed its doors. We have completed  our goal: our partners, SOS Sahel Sudan and SOS Sahel Ethiopia, are now experienced, effective and sustainable organisations that have the resilience to face daily challenges.
