The Future Path
The 2025 Forum is not a one-time event. It is the beginning of a longer process from 2025 - 2030 — years that will mark the greatest transition in the history of our species. It is thus a time shift paradigms and build a path toward planetary maturity. This is our work. This is our invitation — the opportunity for humanity to transition from human supremacy to living in harmony with the larger ecology of life in the spirit of sacred reciprocity.
In this spirit, the Forum offers a space for serious dialogue, meaningful collaboration and long-term stewardship. It is designed for those who feel called to help carry what matters through times of change. If that includes you, we welcome your presence, your voice and your care.
Between 2025 and 2030, the Forum will catalyze a global inquiry to enable people to envision a world where intelligence is not limited to machines or markets or individuals but expressed through ecosystems, cultures, communities and the quiet clarity of conscience. A world where leadership is defined not by dominance but by coherence. Where we measure progress not only by economic growth but by alignment with the larger ecology, depth of commitment to a flourishing future, the capacity to care for each other and the larger web of life..
The State of the World Forum exists to help shape that world. We see a future that invites a new kind of response — one that is integrative, not reactive. One that honors science and spirit, data and intuition, governance and emergence. In this future, the most meaningful change doesn’t come from a single breakthrough but from a series of intentional steps taken by people who are willing to act with maturity, presence, and purpose.
We believe that what lies ahead will require us to think across disciplines, traditions and time horizons. It will require humility to admit what we do not yet understand and the courage to stand for what we know to be true. We do not claim to hold the answers. We are committed to asking deeper questions. To listen deeply. To bring together those who are building quietly and leading thoughtfully.
