At its core, a “wellbeing economy” represents a shift in focus from profit and growth -centric systems to economies that elevate the wellbeing of people and planet. In this Pathways to Planetary Health Forum, Director Stephen Posner will speak with WEAll Economics and Policy Lead, Amanda Janoo, to explore vital steps that will lead us in this direction, with specific examples from countries that are adopting Wellbeing Economies.

Dharma is a concept that underlies Buddhist and Hindu practice. It provides guidance on how to navigate the world – whether you’re meditating under a tree or trying to create an ethical life in the 21st century. Over 3 virtual sessions, we examine how Indian thought traditions have understood dharma in the original texts and how much of this is practical in a modern context. We begin with an overview of dharma and then move on to look at the texts that defined it. We examine the applicability of dharmic ideas in the here-and-now before discussing dharma and the greatest issue facing us all – environmental change.

Thomas’s prophetic vision of Oneness as both an inner state of consciousness and an outer pathway of planetary healing.
