Our Partners
Syntony
Quest collaborates closely with the following organizations which purposes
are related and aligned. We believe that it is through collaboration and
synergy that we can approach more effectively our vision of a sustainable
and evolutionary future.
International Systems Institute (ISI)
Founded by our friend and mentor Bela H. Banathy, ISI "Agoras for the 21st century" has been a community of scholars and practitioners committed to engage in design conversations for a participatory process of creating our common future. ISI sponsors annual conversations events which are wonderful opportunities for thinking, learning and designing together about issues that affect the communities in which we work and live. ISI has been our intellectual home and for many years we have co-facilitated one of the research teams on Evolutionary Learning Community (ELC). Most recently, Bela has started the Agoras for the 21st Century project – in which the notion of ELC is integrated for creating participatory democratic spaces for people to make the decisions that shape their future.

The Coalition for Self-Learning is an international, self-organizing virtual community committed to create learning communities as more vibrant and appropriate educational systems for the 21st century.

Psyche: A game for the evolution of consciousness
Psyche is a universal guide for human affairs in the form of a game combining
the wisdom of
highly developed ancient civilizations with the discoveries of modern
psychology (from the
foreword of the Psyche game manual). The game, developed by Mexican psychologist
Armando
Perez, is a contemporary synthesis of ancient systems of self-discovery
from Mexico, China,
Greece, India and Persia played as a board game. It is a wonderful tool
for self-reflection and for
the conscious exploration and transformation of your conscious energy.
You can learn more about the game at: www.psychegame.com.
