Working Towards The Global Consensus
The Himalayan Consensus is not simply asking to restructure our global financial system. Rather, it calls for reengineering the very values and underlying assumptions driving that system.
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.
