Life is a wondrous journey. We pass many places and encounter many people and other creatures, and Nature and the Sky, when we travel somewhere. We love the opportunity to spend time in a new place, to explore and discover, and to connect to and engage with the people and environment. In English we use the word ‘via’ when we travel. When we fly to Japan from South Africa there are no direct flights, hence we will travel via Istanbul for example.

VIA - Vibe, Intention, Aspritation

VIA for us has a specific meaning. We meet such beautiful souls and creatures, and magnificent places and environments, and magical possibilities along our discovery and impact journeys. Likewise, there is so much happening in the world right now which we cannot ignore or deny: climate change, immigration policies, human and civil rights, and socio-economic-cultural-political-ecological dilemmas affecting the well-being of humanity and the beautiful planet we call home, and all her magnificent creatures and organisms. As humanity, our individual, group and collective contributions have never been as important as now. Why and how and what we do, impacts 8 billion other humans and our wondrous planet and all other living creatures and organisms.

VIA thus for us consists of 3 important elements, our Vibe, our Intention, and our Aspiration.

Our Vibe

is to infuse the world with the energy of JOY, no matter where we are or what we do. We would like to co-generate a JOY Wave that reaches out wide into the Universe.

Our Intention

is to share and exchange thought-provoking embodied experiences, embodied sensemaking experiences, and life-transforming and life-enhancing impact discovery journeys (inner and outer), during which we co-generate JOY. It is our intention to explore, co-sense, co-create, co-generate, co-embody and share the next level of being human, thinking, feeling, sensing, relating, engaging, creating, learning, manifesting, acting and interacting, and the next level organization. It is our intention to explore and sense into what is emerging at this time (inner and outer) with reverence, curiosity and delight, and to follow the natural flow with awareness, respect, trust and gratitude, whilst we share the time of our lives and our talents and inner gifts abundantly.

Our Aspiration

is that every living being, creature, and organism and our beautiful planet can enjoy total well-being, fulfilment and abundance, and that we all co-exist and co-thrive, as we seed and embody a new template of being; with no exception. It is our aspiration that all humans live with awareness and fall in love with life and the Earth, and can experience true joy, and that all new souls birth into a state of JOY. It is our aspiration that all human beings treat each other and all living creatures and organisms, and our planet with love, respect, beauty and joy.

Meet the Joy Generation Council

The purpose of our Joy Generation Council is to provide mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical support, guardianship, guidance, advice, and endorsement. And to ensure our activities and presence are aligned with our VIA and that we embrace and explore all related opportunities arising.
