Spiritual Human Rights 2010

11th and 12th of December 2010
Copenhagen, Denmark

 

Working session for discovering the UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES of Spiritual Human Rights

Invitation for scientific researchers, activists and practitioners within the transdisciplinary field of human rights and spirituality


For the third consecutive year Soteria International welcomes participants to a visionary conference on the emerging field of Spiritual Human Rights. This year’s event will be executed as an explorative workshop with two days of dynamic interaction focused on the creative development of Universal Principles as a unique charter within the Spiritual Human Rights.


ONE WORLD - ONE HUMANITY - ONE SET OF FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
The intention behind the Universal Principles is to discover and describe the fundamental and immanent ideas common to different cultural and spiritual traditions of the planet. The principles provide sui-generis guidelines for all citizens of the world. Embracing the common truths that unite people across nations and religions the work constitutes a timeless foundation facilitating intercultural dialogue and sincere human transformation.


The knowledge and practice of the Universal Principles contribute to the balance and harmony between the human rights of the individual and the needs of society - helping each person and humanity as a collective to address its challenges.


UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES WITH MANIFOLD AREAS OF APPLICATION
The immanent values and mechanisms of the Universal Principles can be observed and applied within a vast field of disciplines and arenas. Accordingly, during a series of conferences and working sessions across Europe in the period 2008-2010 their application has been tested in fields as diverse as peace-making, the natural ecology, mass media and the education system.


Drawing upon the conclusions and observations from these sessions combined with new insights and latest research the SHR10 conference aims to raise the work to the next level by defining a complete and inspiring set of Universal Principles, with immanent practical value for the positive transformation of today’s society and its citizens.


On this background we invite progressive thinkers and pioneering practitioners to participate in the formation of this unfolding field.



A DYNAMIC MEETING FORMAT
Addressing the abstract, scientific and spiritual complexity of formulating Universal Principles the SHR10 conference is designed as an explorative event with a workshop format that allows participants to apply dynamic methods of dialogue-based and transdisciplinary collaboration. During the two-day event, participants are invited to engage in a creative open space process. The event also includes networking activities as well as short inspirational talks and energizers.

ABOUT SOTERIA


SOTERIA INTERNATIONAL was founded in July 2007 as a reaction to the growing governmental and institutional intolerance towards spiritual organistions and spiritual practice the last decades, escalating after 2001. In the same time-period spirituality was world wide embraced by ever more people as a basis for self-understanding and visions in life.

After 2007 the global ecological crisis and financial crisis, as the increasing numbers people experiencing stress related illnesses has opened many eyes for the necessity, not only for the individual but also for society to respect the immanent principles of inner as well as outer nature.

The growing number of people adapting a spiritual perspective on life paired with the increased governmental and institutional intolerance and spiritual xenophobia risk to end in yet another crisis – the ecology crisis of inner nature.

SOTERIA INTERNATIONAL takes active party in civil society at political and social level to promote the integration of spiritual principles in our decisions for the future. Soteria also research and act within the judiciary, social and political fields in cases of human rights violations related to spiritual practice.

The main office is situated in Copenhagen and handles international conferences and forums as well as the legal cases.

SOTERIA INTERNATIONAL is currently rapidly growing and in 2008 we welcomed more than seven new national offices! The national offices research and handle local issues and collect information for our growing research and informational centre in Copenhagen.
