The Complementary Path

Central to the Foundation’s aims is making peace with the environment as a process of human transformation, and recognizing the role that leaders and leadership play as key vehicles to heal the planet. This brings forward a new paradigm of leadership — Conscious Sustainability Leadership — in response to an understanding that sustainable development is: a collection of values to be self-realized; a bundle of rights and responsibilities to be implemented; a way of life to be embraced; and a level of consciousness to be attained.

Because of the importance of individual and collective consciousness, ZIHT/PTF contributes to the mainstreaming of spirituality into the public domain of economics, business and public policy making — understanding spirituality as an experiential path to be travelled by all human beings and embraced within all human activities.

The Foundation adopts a holistic approach to healing, attending to human beings, all sentient beings, and nature together — aligning the healing of nature and world peace with happiness, caring, transformation, love, compassion, solidarity, cooperation and consciousness-raising across every area of human activity.
