The Spirit of Humanity Forum will explore love as the greatest energizing force that connects all and lies at the heart of wellbeing and human flourishing. Only through loving can we heal ourselves and our planet. Only through leading and governing with love can we transcend the self-interests of the individual, group, and even nation. Only by acting in love can we work together in building a better post-Covid world. A loving world is one in which the wellbeing of every creature on the planet motivates decisions at the highest level of leadership.
The Spirit of Humanity Forum brings together leaders and change-makers to explore how our inner awareness sets the direction of our own lives and collectively the trajectory of humanity. We are the only ones who can reset the compass to a direction that will enhance human flourishing, sustainability and abundance. Hosted by the City of Reykjavik, the Forum takes place every two years in Iceland, but this year from 3rd – 5th June on line.
