SEMINE is an online playground that invites you on that journey, the life journey seen from an animistic world view. When we explore the world through an animistic lens, we are able to see differently. And when we see differently, we are able to access a newfound power and imagination that allow us to come up with new solutions. To better our own lives. And co-create a better world for others.

And the world we live in needs new solutions desperately. The Earth suffers from the way humans live, and the humans suffer, because we have forgotten how to relate to Mother Earth. Anxiety, depression, stress and the many human conditions that are in the rise, even in the most prosperous countries remind us that economic growth is no longer the answer to creating a better world. Pollution, loss of bio diversity and global warming and Mother Earth’s many conditions reminds us of the pressing need to respond in a new way. So how can we relate in a new way? To ourselves? Each other? And the Earth?

How can we find our way back home
and discover a way to journey in beauty
into the future?

Ready to live a life in real Abundance?

Do you experience enough joy, bliss, love and power in your life? Do you regularly take time to nourish your body, mind and soul? Or have you neglected your own wellbeing for a while, because you think, this is a luxury you don’t have time for?

As we have witnessed in the recent years, one the greatest paradoxes of western society is, that as we are getting richer, we are not necessarily getting happier. In many countries around the world, wellbeing levels have stagnated or even declined despite continued economic growth. The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen has covered this paradox of western progress and uncovered findings, that depression and anxiety disorders are responsible for greater wellbeing losses on both an individual and societal level than almost any other illness under consideration. The institute suggests that we change our thoughts on investment from the traditional ‘Return on Investment’ rate (ROI) to a ‘Happiness Return on Investment’ (HROI) rooted in empirical evidence of subjective wellbeing.

"There is a place for volunteer labor. For mutual aid. For inhouse work. For healings that require sympathetic contact or a cohesive support group. For strengthening the bounds of kinship. For intellectual community. For creative idleness. For the slow maturation of talent. For the creation and dissemination of culture." CREDO
