On the look out for helpful resources in this transformational era ‘Hybrid Peace’ came to me as an inspiring and practical concept: a powerful narrative that helps us to nudge ourselves towards a more wholesome world through a conscious and diverse combination of strategies and tactics.

In our current complex and fast paced world ‘Peace’ requires an active, creative, multi-facetted approach. Not intellectual nor moral. But grass root, doable, day to day initiatives at human scale. Not so much big but mostly small, trial and error attempts aimed at strengthening the building blocks of a more stable and ultimately more wholesome world.

Through re-enforcement of our social and personal fabric and resilience by transcending our social bubbles, by staying present, by keeping an open and critical mind whilst consuming information, by investing in the quality of our relationships with those around us, by holding (or being) space, by staying compassionate, by facing our fears, by striving for equanimity, by investing in our physical and mental well being etc..

The cumulation of these attempts will gradually develop into a strong core inside us and in a feeling of perspective. An inner strength that will support us when facing current and future challenges and complexities. All of this in parallel with the more traditional focus on a comprehensive combination of self defense, technology, economy and diplomacy.
