The environment we're in determines what unique gifts of our being are activated. This is the fundamental premise of evolution. And the nature of this process ensures that every being in the environment will develop and contribute to the harmonization of the ecosystem. This is exactly how humans work within social structures, too. Without the feeling of community or purpose, we may feel depressed, unfulfilled, lonely, anxious and hopeless. SO many people out there are like that. My brother was one of these people.
My brother was a year younger than me and had incredible social talent. But because he never put himself in the right environments he never really understood exactly what he was great at- what he could really contribute to this world. This feeling of confusion and helplessness resulted to emotional misdirection and drug use that would eventually take his life.
It was incredibly sad and tragic to see someone with infinite potential cut himself off from truly thriving. And it was because he wasn't unlocking the amazing gifts he had in a environment that fully encouraged him to flourish.
This is what inspired SKANDERE. The word is an old latin word meaning to go both up and down in the pursuit of wholeness. And, oddly enough, it's the Arabic derivative of the name Alexander- my brother's name. SKANDERE is a community movement built upon the idea of activating and nurturing personal individuality within its members in a way that celebrates our unique gifts while also encouraging collaboration on innovative projects, services and business of true value and creativity.
