Announcing our leadership academy
Human evolution develops around “next steps”.Previous next steps were motivated by technology. This took us to the moon, connected cultures, standardized and commercialized the human world, developed medications, increased our life expectancy, etc. It also developed social degradation, disconnection from nature, the destruction of our environment, deployment of hierarchies of greed, self interest and dependence, etc. From an existential human continuity point of view we created our own Armageddon, our own degenerative perspectives as a natural human species. The next evolutionary step is not just technological, nor political or financial. It is self aware leadership choice, one that takes us contextually away from disaster and well into sustainable long term wellness and resilience.
Those that are willing to make that choice are welcome in the STIR Academy. Together we will explore, live through the sustainable essentials of our existence and develop whatever is needed to restore our sustainable balnce and regenerative perspectives. 2026 will be first year that the STIR Academy disconnects itself from the traditional, old age educational platforms with whom we tried to work together for over 20 years. Now we decided to offer our approach in a dedicated and independent way. A genuine NEXT STEP, also in the field of learning.
The fundamental role of women
In the natural world of sustainable human existence (Sustainocracy), “the woman” is of vital importance. She cannot be replaced by a man. Woman represents the “being” of humanity, the birth of renewal, and every evolutionary step this life takes. The position of “the man” is also fundamental, however by support of this “being” by providing security through “doing.” To this existential foundation between man and woman, we link the development of our morality, respect for life, caring, and social connection. In this human complexity, men and women are equal but fundamentally not the same. Through the connection of the two worlds, that of being and doing, a harmonious interplay arises that can express itself in family life, communities, and entire social organizations. Then there is no discrimination, no oppression, no masculinized or feminized hierarchy. Then we see a mature culture with the pure form of democracy, that of mutual, loving coordination around the fulfillment of the core values of our existence.
International woman’s day
Every year, one day is dedicated to the position of women. Historically, society has become masculinized in the world of achievement, centered around materialistic political and financial interests. The masculine essence of security has been replaced by materialistic interests of growth and control. Women’s position has been forced into subordination to the material system, just like men. This unnatural situation leads to one crisis after another, as shown in the image above (the red cross). Every year, women must manifest themselves by emphasizing their existential equality in a world that has long been unfriendly to women, unsustainable, and destructive to humanity. One day a year, women and the feminine take center stage. This often manifests critically in response to the injustices occurring in today’s human world. The rest of the year, Sustainocracy expresses itself from existential humanity and the need to feminize society, not through materialism, but by safeguarding the immaterial essentials of our existence, such as our health, safety, social connection, solidarity, and respect for life. Some of these principles were also discussed during Women’s Day today.
For over 10 years the International Woman’s Day in Eindhoven (Nederlands) has been organized by C.L.O., the Latin American community, in cooperation with Parktheater. The photos are from the 2026 event.
