Awakening Programs
Vita Sapien Ecological Spirituality Awakening Programs seek to inculcate a powerful awareness and empathy for our Living Planet and a recognition of our rightful place in it. Awakening Programs are one of Vita Sapiens tools for Fostering Mass-Ecophany.
An important element of an Awakening Program is to get the undivided attention of the recipient, so that they are not distracted. In this way, we can build up an experience that triggers emotional responses that open the way to spiritual augmentation. Some Awakening Programs are planned as audio/visual experiences, others are in-person in the environment.
Using scientific analytical tools, the Awakening Programs will be assessed for efficacy in the key performance indicator: fostering radical pro-environmental behavior change.
Listed below are some of the Awakening Programs under development. Others are planned.
