Alternative Voice To The World

At this conference, we will explore non-traditional solutions that may be useful to

address global crises. Specifically, this project aims at rethinking ancient wisdom,

including that of the Jomon period, and examining new ways to rebuild and improve

our lives and our societies. We also wish to give a platform for constructive dialogue

on religious diversity by learning from Judaism, Himalayan religion, Buddhism,

Mesoamerica, Jomon, Sumer, and other theological and ritual traditions. Through

dialogue with thinkers and scholars specializing in different philosophical traditions,

this project seeks to generate new ideas for our challenging world. We will therefore

consider whether ethics and spirituality or ancient wisdom can provide insights for

coping with major crises and fostering a more prosperous humanity.
