INVEST IN YOU. INVEST IN THE FUTURE!
Young people in India, across disciplines and professions are the stakeholders of the incoming future. Hence, the progressives ones adapt and transition, towards sustainable lifestyles, careers, culture and new ways of thinking. Invest in systems and institutions, moving towards a world 'prepared' for the challenges ahead.
Ecology - Children, teenagers and youth are Increasingly aware of the grave risks posed by global warming, climate change and industrial civilization. Yet, they are also the first to face the challenges and opportunities of the near future. Ecology is a form of universal justice.
Music - That embodies relationships, experiences, communities. Music is the host for commonly shared cultures. As a practice and experience, music contains tremendous social, psychological, emotional and technological value. Step beyond the mainstream, delve into new experiences!
Autonomy - Investing in our capacity to make informed, uncoerced decisions. As individuals and as members of a given society, we strive for greater independent and self-governing systems. Autonomy is about the infinite potentialities that 'nest in the spirit' of the individual and the population.
Planet Earth is not a corporation, as seen by those who only wish to exploit. Current planetary management systems, are not only unsustainable but also devoid of ecological sanity.
A new orientation that brings Nature, Society and the Individual together - as interdependent entities inside the "Web Of Life" (Jason Moore). Our primary relationship is with Nature, the basis of all social, ecological and regenerative cultures. Emerging worlds beyond 20th century binaries, capitalism and unsustainable ends. Objective wisdom and insights, as 'A Return To Nature'.
Pro Feedback
With our world in transition, we need new ideas, events and collective energy. SEED is a zone, where Indian artists and professionals can create unique pathways and opportunities - empowering the individual and the ecosystem. I'm on!"
NAVEEN DESHPANDE (Director / Founder - Mixtape and Ground Control)
I think SEED is an amazing initiative to empower artists and allow them to connect with nature and ecosystems. Nature is a source of inspiration and healing. Something that artists need in the world today. I’m looking forward to seeing this program grow!”
"SEED is forward motion, a direction for learning, regeneration and evolution. A way to reach continuously towards a better self. I believe that, artists, professionals and innovators also need progressive insight and knowledge."
“Nature has always been my source of inspiration. Hence, I love that SEED connects one of the most influential human creations - Music, to nature (Ecology). In our tribe, warriors4elements we orchestrate natural laws in business and lifestyle, leading to a path of transformation."
"Artists influence people’s thoughts and attitudes, which impacts society. SEED is a much-needed platform, given the big ecological predicament we face. Especially for India, SEED is setting a whole new agenda and pathways."
"Seed is doing vital work, precisely the sort of work we all need to do if we are to survive. My best wishes to this new effort."
I appreciate that SEED brings together perspectives on ecological overshoot, reproductive autonomy, and ecocentrism to help us move towards a more ecological civilization. A much smaller human footprint that is in balance with all life on Earth - human and nonhuman alike. SEED is one such place!
"In this era of ongoing ecological collapse, we must fall in love with nature and fight to defend our planet. Music, poetry, and other forms of art help us bypass the conditioning of modern culture. With a gateway like SEED we get in touch with our true selves."
Our planet is experiencing great trauma and crises in this age of globalization. Infinite growth and greed has caused immense harm to all living beings. For the younger generation, SEED is a place to unlearn, relearn and act better.
