  Sowelu 

  

  What is Sowelu about? Sowelu is an ancient word that means wholeness, not merely completion - but rather the acquisition of a true conscious awareness of all aspects of oneself. Sowelu is about being more deeply connected to all that you are and expanding that consciousness out to extend beyond the confines of what you would in 'normal consciousness' think of as the limits of you. Is the body your limit? What about your personal relationships? Your possessions? Where do you stop and another begin? How useful is it to think like this anyway? We believe that in being connected to the interconnectedness of us all, the planet and all of its inhabitants, the 'normal', everyday worries and stresses fade and are replaced by an awareness that is beyond everyday but can give meaning and purpose to the everyday choices and activities we engage in. In a word that awareness is love.

As technology continues to erode the significance of national borders and the limitations that distance once posed, making more and more resources available at an ever-increasing pace, (to help meet the ever expanding unlimited wants and needs of the 7 billion plus humans now inhabiting the planet), one has to ask them self – is all this childish aspiration to fulfill our unlimited wants worth the cost?

  Participating in a Healthy Environment 

  

  The most simple answer to this question is to make work, where most of us spend the majority of our time be an expression of our passion and our broader vision. So how might that look? Well depending on where you are in your career and how much flexibility you have with your current life and work arrangements, there are a variety of ways you can make a shift towards greater fulfillment within your working life. The most dramatic shift would be to embark on a new career perhaps in environmental science or conservation. There are many people who spend their working day in a role within the environmental consulting sector and it is no doubt an exciting and fulfilling way to be engaged. There are many and varied roles within this growing sector so if you are looking for a tree change then this may be worth further investigation.

  You may even like to talk to an environmental consultant or two, working in a variety of fields to get more of an idea. On the other end of the scale are the small shifts, the most easy to achieve
