The Quest for Wisdom foundation (QfWf) is founded to stimulate the art of living in the cosmopolis
“Every person longs for the good life and every culture passes on its wisdom to future generations to grow as a person on an inward journey that connects all corners of the world. Thereby we flourish as a community, celebrating life in the cosmopolis “
In a tilting world order the QfWf aims to contribute towards a culture of openness and pluriformity by tapping into one’s own and shared historical roots. Can we learn to be global citizens by revitalizing wisdom traditions worldwide and liberating ourselves from groupthink?
The Wheel of the Intercultural Art of Living has been created to realize this mission. By the spinning of the Wheel around a yearly theme the three Quests flow together on our platform DeGuldenSnede:
Quest 1 Wisdom Web
Collecting and publishing wisdoms from all corners of the world according to the Wheel of the Intercultural Art of Living for the Wisdom Web
Quest 2 Golden ratio
Developing intercultural programmes according to the Golden Ratio principle of natural and (inter)cultural growth. Since 2024 the QfWf-platform Golden Ratio is dedicated to initiatives of Global Citizenship around a yearly theme with intercultural and artistic forms, play and dialogue: Golden Ratio Collection (e)books and Animal Wisdom storytelling.
Quest 3 Meet
Organizing living Encounters and a space between cultures through Meeting Days, Masterclasses and the QfWf video channel
