Island Vision by Bruce Eisner
Contemporary society faces difficult and vexing challenges including
exploding population, deterioration of the environment, intense
competition for resources, totalitarianism, violence and alienation.
To answer these challenges, we seek to develop a way of living based on these values:

Our Values

* Peace
* Individual freedom, equality and human rights
* A focus on cooperation instead of competition
* Sustainability
* Community
* The realization of our full human potential
* Reverence for life and diversity of expression
* Joyousness

Our Work

With an open philosophy guiding our work, Island Foundation uses
scholarly research, education, and practical experiments to explore
archaic and modern insights for their potential benefit to human
society. We have a special focus on ways to integrate these
principles into the patterns of daily life.

We draw our inspiration and the name of our foundation from the work of Aldous Huxley, whose novel Island portrays a new culture based on the realization of what Huxley saw as our highest human potentialities. In carrying forward this vital vision, Island Foundation works toward cultural regeneration by deeply examining:

New Ideas

* Intentional communities
* The integration of the world's diverse cultures
* New scientific paradigms
* The revival of archaic wisdom
* Human potential, humanistic and transpersonal psychology
* Memetics
* New models of consciousness and methods of consciousness change
* Systems theory and chaos dynamics
* Other new ideas as we encounter them

Aldous Huxley was a connoisseur of new ideas and technologies. Four decades after Island was published, technology and the proliferation of information increasing at an ever-faster pace. In order to achieve its purpose, Island Foundation has become a communication hub for like-minded people around the World.
