Relationships and Society

This thematic area questions the functioning of the mind; how it influences the formation of views, behaviors and social systems.

In this place we explore how the functioning of the mind influences the formation of sometimes divisive and unfair points of view, behaviors and social systems, and we question the role of contemplative practices and scientific research in the establishment of compassionate communities and in the construction of a common sensitivity for the interconnection between individuals and living systems on Earth.

Values, relationships, and awareness. When reality is a matter of narrative

In an uncertain and complex world, human beings have a natural inclination to construct narratives: stories that weave together the most different threads of their experiences into a coherent puzzle of meaning.

An article from The Guardian in 2019 states that the mindfulness movement has become the "new capitalist spirituality" – "magical thinking on steroids" that, instead of subverting the "neoliberal order," now "only serves to invigorate its destructive logic."
