Challenges Of Giftivism
Jul 30, 2019, 2 comments, 18 smiles
[Below is an edited transcript of a delightful conversation with Nipun and some spiritual elders of the Heartfulness ecosystem .]
Victor: Our institutional culture ethos is to give all the teachings for free, but we do have some material costs. Brian, in particular, is holding this edge at the Ohio center that he runs. When we asked Daaji, he said he's been thinking about Giftivism and pay-forward. So we thought we'd ask you about it.
Nipun: Thank you. What a joy to know that Daaji is resonant with these ideals. There are various ways to think about it.
Let’s consider reciprocity -- giving and receiving. Most of us are typically engaged in three kinds of reciprocity -- direct, indirect and infinite. Direct reciprocity is linear and transactional.

[The blossoming connection between Heartfulness and ServiceSpace is treat to witness.

Dear friends,
My heart is full as I write this email in deep appreciation for all of you.
Yesterday we finished the first official edition of the Deep U program, a 3-day retreat of Awareness-Based Human Flourishing. I feel that the program is the "coming together" of everything I've been learning, gathering and integrating in the last 12 years (Mindfulness, Heartfulness, Theory U, Social Presencing Theatre, etc.).
After Gandhi 3.0 retreat, it became clear that one ingredient that could be deepened in our world today: a huuuuge amount of selfless Love and giftivism! Like the one we have been experiencing and receiving through this ServiceSpace beautiful ecosystem.
But a question was present: how to give selflessly what you've been cultivating in the last decade?
The Laddership Circle was the "catalyst" that helped us refine the design and experiment the concept in these last three days. After "digesting" all our Laddership experience and also after many ... Read Full Story
