The Natural Intelligence Lifestyle

WHAT IS NATURAL INTELLIGENCE?

NATURAL INTELLIGENCE refers to principles of life and to our lifestyle choices that respect the natural limits and boundaries of earth’s resources.   NATURAL INTELLIGENCE refers to an emotional impulse inherent in our universal myth that stimulates us to value and to protect the integrity of all living beings.   NATURAL INTELLIGENCE refers to an intellectual quest to understand nature’s survival strategies accumulated over 3+ billion years and etched into the DNA of circa 8.7 million species alive today in order to tool ourselves with strategies for adapting to global change.
NATURAL INTELLIGENCE refers to the celebration of our own unique natural wisdom, which we pass down through generations across cultures and time in art and story.   NATURAL INTELLIGENCE refers to our intimate, interdependent connection to the larger web of life in the biosphere, whereas even in our physical bodies 80% of the biological DNA is foreign to our personal DNA. We are of the earth.   NATURAL INTELLIGENCE refers to our innate, universal quest to touch and to expand the brilliant and sacred nature of the living universe.

NATURAL INTELLIGENCE IS A LIFESTYLE.
