sustainability and the mokopuna principle

the core concepts of sustainability derived from within the brundtland definition of inter and intra-generational equity

inter-generational equity expresses the idea that development must not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

the mokopuna principle in aotearoa, articulates this concept as well as encompassing a traditional ecocentric indigenous world view.

mokopuna is a specific description of, as well as philosophic idea about caring for, ones grandchildren and future generations and all that is implied therein for their continuing wellbeing within their wider natural and spiritual communities.

perceiving the body differently

this category will offer an opportunity for the evolving of a different academic sustainability semantic va, under the description,

the ecological body, a transpersonal chaordic projective respecting perspective

which in addition to more traditional rational discourse, will value cultural human expression of the sublime, and deep relationship, and archetypal art and dance as essential language tools.
