About Syntony Quest

Our mission

To design new ways of working, learning, and living that embody social and environmental integrity.

As in gardening, we are committed to create fertile conditions for organizations and communities of all kinds to engage in the collaborative learning, design and action that can bring deep transformations. Our work is informed by an evolutionary systems perspective: seeking to foster life-affirming, future creating, and opportunity increasing possibilities.

In our work, sustainability is not the ultimate goal. We see the challenge of sustainability as the next stage in our evolutionary trajectory as a global human civilization. But the quest for syntony is about the ongoing exploration of our human creativity in partnership with our planet Earth.

What kind of organization is Syntony Quest? 

Technically, we are a 501(c)3 educational nonprofit. Syntony Quest combines the mission-driven and social purpose of a nonprofit organization with the professional orientation and entrepreneurship spirit of a business. As a result, Syntony Quest is a socio-ecological enterprise, seeking to integrate the best organizational practices to foster ethical innovative solutions for a better future.

Syntony Quest is a think, learn, link and do tank. Our work is about sustainability and beyond. It is about questioning the assumptions, values and beliefs that support our unsustainable social civilization and creatively re-learning how to design institutions, communities and cultures in harmony with nature.

Think:

We conduct research on the mind-set, skill-set and heart-set that is required to evolve our human systems. 

Learn:

We offer educational programs to develop the awareness, the literacy, the competencies and the practices that will enable individuals and groups to design social systems that embody social and environmental integrity. 

Link:

We connect individuals, communities and organizations. We create evolutionary learning communities. We bring people together to collaborate in the creation of new possibilities.

Do:

We integrate our think-learn-link capacities in the design and implementation of evolutionary development projects.  Through these projects which we apply our knowledge base, educate, build community and support the progress of the organization or community toward sustainability. These projects usually have a social entrepreneurship component .
