“I think there are good reasons for suggesting that the modern age has ended. Today, many things indicate that we are going thorough a transitional period, when it seems that something is on the way out and something else is painfully being born. It is as if something were crumbling, decaying, and exhausting itself, while something else, still indistinct, were arising from the rubble.� Vaclav Havel Ex President of Czechoslovakia
We need new development and social well-being alternatives We need new leaders
LEADERSHIP
• Comes from the indo-european root “leith” • Leith means to cross thresholds, to open paths and to reach non-explored places
GALAPAGOS The perfect scenario to cross thresholds towards the Sumak Kawsay
SUMAK KAWSAY
Means “fullness life� and it is reached when the harmony exist between the human being and his/her past, community, cultural roots, spirituality and nature, and inter-generational perspective.

To change human paradigms, which help us to create the world, is necessary a change from the social level.
There is a simple reason why many people are dissatisfied (‌). It comes from an incomplete paradigm of who we are and our fundamental vision of the human nature (‌). The fundamental reality is that the human beings are formed of four dimensions: body, mind, heart and spirit. Stephen Covey, el 8 habit
