CHE-Salon Russia against modernity, the end of an empire.

De purpose van Center for Human Emergence NL (CHE NL) is:het toepassen van het Integrale gedachtegoed (Spiral Dynamics en het Integrale model van Ken Wilber)op actuele maatschappelijke vraagstukken en ontwikkelingenDe uitgangspunten waarmee we deze bestemming willen realiseren, zijn:1. We gaan uit van eenheid2. We erkennen natuurlijke orde in alle leven3. We vervullen de rol die de onze is4. We handelen als de tijd rijp is en verduren zo niet5. We verhelderen creatieve spanning tot nieuw inzicht zich aandient6. We handelen vanuit wederzijds vertrouwen en zijn steeds bereid rekenschap te geven aan elkaar en het geheel7. We brengen bewust en onbevreesd authentiek zijn in de praktijk- we openen ons hart voor de stem van het geheel- we geven gehoor aan de evolutionaire impuls zoals die als ons opkomt- we handelen – als onderdeel van die impuls – met snelheid, precisie en liefde.Hoe is het, als we deze bestemming en uitgangspunten in alle aspecten van ons leven uitdrukken? Dat is wat CHE NL doet.Leeswijzer voor bovenstaandeLees de bestemming en de uitgangspunten, spreek ze wellicht een keer hardop uit en neem dan een minuutje stilte om niet alleen uw hoofd maar ook uw hart en buik de kans te geven om er door aangeraakt te worden – of niet.Crisis? Bewustzijnscrisis!Onze samenleving ondergaat een transitie van ongekende omvang. Oorlogen, de energiecrisis, de klimaatcrisis en de onrust over steeds verder uit elkaar drijvende culturen zijn voorbeelden van problemen die het gevolg zijn van onze successen van de afgelopen decennia.De oplossingen kunnen niet gevonden worden als we dezelfde manier van denken en handelen hanteren die de problemen veroorzaakt hebben. We staan voor de uitdaging om nieuwe, meer complexe en creatieve manieren van denken en doen te ontwikkelen. Deze uitdaging aangaan vraagt bewustzijn, èn een wilsbesluit. De bestemming en uitgangspunten van CHE NL zijn ons antwoord op deze uitdaging.Is het CHE van/voor u?Het CHE NL is van/voor ieder mens die bovenstaande bestemming en uitgangspunten op één zet in het leven.

Our guest in the first of 4 salons about lasting peace in Europe, is Alexander Etkind, professor at Central European University in Vienna

According to the Russian historian Alexander Etkind, Putin’s war in Ukraine is a harbinger of the breakdown of the Russian Federation. In his book Russia Against Modernity (2023), Alexander explains that the Russian Federation has been developed into a monomaniac ‘petrostate’ with a very rich minority that is in power. In the first place, it is a war against modernity, against the actions to mitigate climate change, against the energy transition, against the de-carbonization of our economy, against changing to a knowledge economy, and against rights for women and more. The elites that support Putin are best served by the status quo, nevertheless, society is changing, and families are disintegrating. Putin must use patriotic language from the past and violence against more democratic values to stay in power. However, Alexander sees this as temporary fixes and expects the fossil fuel revenues to decline and the Russian Federation to fall apart. This first salon will introduce Russian imperialism and colonialism, the imperial nature of the Russian Federation, and its colonization of indigenous peoples seeking autonomy.Our guest Dr. Alexander Etkind (born 1955 in Russia), is a historian and cultural scientist. He is a professor of international relations at the Central European University in Vienna. Previously, he was Chair of Russia-Europe relations at the European University Institute in Florence, and Professor of Russian literature and cultural history at the University of Cambridge. He studied psychology, English, Slavonic studies, and cultural history. Alexander taught at several places, such as the University of Helsinki, New York University, etc. Etkind's research focuses on European and Russian intellectual history, memory studies, natural resources and the history of political economy, empire and colonies in Europe, and Russian politics. From 2010 to 2013, he led the international research project “Memory at War: Cultural Dynamics in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine” in Cambridge. He wrote many books, from Eros of the Impossible (1996) to Russia Against Modernity (2023).This salon is online through ZOOM and takes about 2,5 hours. The language is English. It will consist of two parts. One block with Alexander Etkind’s introduction and Q&amp;A. In the second part, we will dialogue about what we can learn from his knowledge, experiences, and wisdom. For our own country, world politics and the Ukraine war.We ask for a contribution between 5 - 25 euro for participation in the salon to raise some money for organizing these meetings.

While there is much support in the West for Ukraine, there are also loud voices calling for negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, thinking this will lead to peace. But is this really the path to sustainable peace in Europe?On December 12th, Dr. Elke Fein will be our guest with analysis on Putin: why negotiations won't work with his type of thinking. In the third salon on January 16th, Mr Valerii Pekar will analyse scenarios for the Russian Federation and visions on ending the war and establishing sustainable peace. For the last salon (date to follow), we will invite some of the Russian captive nations leaders to speak about their current situation and dreams.We hope to meet you!!Auke van Nimwegen, Hans Ruijs, Lars Lutje Schipholt and Leida SchuringaSIGN UPYou are invited to join us in this CHE-Salon on November 28th.
