This clip captures the early journeys of Himalayan Consensus founder, Laurence Brahm, traveling the Himalayan Region in early 2002. Here, Brahm was inspired by all types of community members, from monks to artists to world leaders, whose visions to support the sustainability of their culture, economy, and environment took form of pragmatic grassroots initiatives. These inspirations in turn inspired Brahm to put the Himalayan Consensus into action, starting his own Shambhala Social Enterprise in 2005.

The Himalayan Consensus

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 06:46:00 GMT

Himalayan Consensus is a new economic paradigm that calls for ethnic diversity, cultural sustainable development and the protection of our environment. It heralds an era of compassionate capitalism, where people are more than statistics, and we throw out the common economic assumption that people are only driven by greed. Himalayan Consensus has three principles: 1) discard economic theory if it does not work and instead address actual needs of people; 2) draw upon values of compassion, care for others, and respect our natural environment; 3) let each people, ethnic group and nation seek their own right of determination and system of governance that responds to the needs of their own people. Join us and other global citizens in embracing a new paradigm to better address the needs of our world. Positive intention and a little effort can go a long way. I learned this throughout my journeys across the Himalayan region, inspired by the diverse ethnicity of the people there whose lives are integrated with the natural environment. This website is not only an account of our work, but more importantly, a way for millions of people to get involved, not just in the Himalayas, but in your hometown. www.himalayanconsensus.org

Change is desperately needed in the wake of the global economic meltdown and collapse of the financial order. Stimulus packages are only band-aiding the situations. We need to come to the core concept of our values and motivations that drive us every day. These are new questions that we have to face head on because it's about our survival as a planet.
