Who We Are
At Global Zen Sustainability, we have learned that the practice of sustainability is a lot like the practice of Zen. It is not some big aha, or slick eco-trend, but rather a simple concentration on our everyday routine of living, doing and being. Sustainability, like Zen, is a practice and journey of awareness, action and ripple effect.
Yet, if living sustainably, and living within Mother Nature’s rules were that easy, achieving sustainability wouldn't be that elusive or difficult for humanity to attain. We’d know all the right buttons to push, doors to open, and practices to become successful. In Zen, this is called the great gateless barrier, something so seemingly simple and self evident, yet also a process that could take a lifetime to perfect. It is an epic journey and study of paradox and perspective.
