The 7th Spirit of Humanity (SoH) Forum brought together over 160 leaders, change-makers, and visionaries from more than 40 countries in Reykjavík, Iceland, under the theme “Inner Wisdom in Governance – Acting with Courage and Compassion.”
Held partly in collaboration with the Wellbeing Economy Forum, the gathering created a heart-centred space to explore how inner transformation can shape more compassionate and courageous leadership.
The GHfP Institute is a partner of the SoH Forum, and we contribute to its programme design, and support the co-creation of the spaces for deep dialogue, curious listening, and collaborative action.
On 10th May, GHfP’s PhD researcher, Isadora Canela, joined Prof Scherto Gill and the co-Founder of Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEALL) in offering an interactive and experiential workshop entitled: “What if Meditation is not enough; Action is not enough: How would Love manifest in our being, working, creating and acting for a better world?” During this space, they invited the participants to reflect on our experiences of transformation in our personal lives, and what wisdom we might draw from such experiences to imagine systemic change.
Reflecting on the SoH Forum and its impact, Scherto suggests that “In silence, we awaken inner wisdom, seeking clarity in quiet reflection; through listening, we cultivate mutual presence, nurturing Love and caring; in dialogue, we weave our collective insights into pathways for flourishing futures.”
