Friday meeting with Thierry was very inspiring both for our brains and receptors.

Meeting started with introduction of different scientists of different centuries, such as Ken Wilber, Barbara Marx and etc, who did a lot on conceptualization of the universe and civilization’s development processes. He introduced us Evolutionary Spiral, Chaos Point, relation of supply and demand relationships and how to find balance in it to move closer to sustainability.

Then he showed us how to create sustainable community according to study done in the field of common values for people, such as: love, spirituality, community service and etc. Main idea was: if to create such a community with the same values than it could be the most sustainable community with the same identity which can be easily maintained in the future.

Another food for mental digestion, proposed by Thierry, was approach on validation of components of the human environment, such as sports centers, shops, schools, laundries, etc.; and how they can interact to each other to create, explore new fields of sustainable multifunctional area use.

To finalize his lecture Thierry provide us with tasty home-made berry juice to entertain our receptors.

Thanks Thierry for such a well-organized lecture!
