Asase Harmony

Welcome to Asase Harmony
A beloved community creating space for people
to reconnect with the wisdom of Botho, ubuNtu – our interbeing nature,
in the sustenance of life.

Prologue: the re-connection

“I’ll tell you what freedom is to me: no fear. I mean really, no fear!”
Nina Simone

This time calls for a new consciousness and a free leadership faculty that responds to social, cognitive, ecological, and climate challenges in an intentional and compassionate way. We address our crisis of perception which brings disconnection from ourselves, each other, and other beings. This allows us to create a life of greater possibilities, with non-fear. A life free from physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual enslavement.

Who we are

As Asase Harmony we realise the need for different ways of being on Mother Earth. We are curious about how we may contribute to the fullness of life for all creation. We assert that there is no “us against them”, no inferiority, superiority or equality; life is interconnected, interdependent, interrelated, and interbeing – each one of us is part of a whole, with our individual “suchness” as is foundational in the African wisdom of Botho (Ubuntu).

What we do

Our choice of activity may be explained with the metaphor of the four wings of transformative Earth care depicted as a dragonfly, symbolising change, love, liberation, ecological health and new beginnings – guiding us to practice courage and compassion, cultivating wisdom and reverence for Mother Earth. The intention is to offer our presence, raising our frequency and taking action, for biocultural regeneration.

Our work

We recognise that we live in a pivotal epoch, and that humankind needs to find new ways of being and of relating, with each other and as Nature. Our work seeks to bring radical shifts and alignments and we embrace the complexity and uncertainty inherent in that quest with compassion, courage, curiosity, creativity, and joy.

We work together:

reconnecting as nature, finding individual and collective insights and aligning energies.

honouring and evolving sacred African knowledge systems for biocultural regeneration.

enhancing ecosystem integrity, dignity and connectivity and realigning with the rhythms of life.

How we work

Asase, Mother Earth, according to the Akan, is the goddess of love, fertility, truth, peace, the arid and the lush earth. Asase Harmony, a fledgling organism responding to these times, looks to bring us in harmony as Mother Earth, contributing to our collective evolution. We are in the inevitable process of change, embracing the complexity and uncertainty of our epoch with courage. Our strength comes from our openness to doing the necessary inner work as well as working with everyone who finds resonance with our vision. In this way, we continue to grow, deepen our roots, and co-create with others in an intentional and conscious way.

Our impact comes only through collaboration with others, so we enter partnerships in every landscape in which we work. We are aware that the wellbeing of individuals and households depends on all parts of the activity system functioning smoothly together, and we actively look for collaboration between all actors within that system.

Programme streams

To co-create harmony as nature, we become aware of the way we think, feel, speak and relate, which requires a change in activity, and experiences of new organising possibilities. Our programmes work to optimise possibilities for wellbeing and life’s flourishing within different biospheres and particularly in the buffer zones of compromised sacred sites. We start within ourselves, consciously co-creating our external world. Programme streams vary according to the possibilities in different settings, and may embrace meditation and self-inquiry, alternative learning, food & seed sovereignty, livelihoods strengthening, traditional wisdom and culture, holistic health, spiritual wellbeing and evolution, land and nature care, and other transformative creations.

March 22 – April 22 2025: Water is Love: Ripples of Regeneration Film Release

In support of our partners and in service of life, we invite you to watch the documentary Water is Love: Ripples of Regeneration.

The documentary follows a group of youth grappling with the climate crisis. It tells inspiring stories about the transformative power of ecological regeneration from around the world, showing why we need to focus on restoring water cycles in our efforts to respond to the ecological emergency. You can watch it here: www.waterislovefilm.org

We recognise that the resolution of our ecological, climate and social challenges is complex and rife with uncertainty. We are constantly in flux. Designs for action must thus be guided by contemplative practices, the regenerative local cultures, cosmologies and ecology. There is no panacea, or “one size fits all” solution.
