Throughout this website, we highlight symbols representing humankind’s search for wisdom and higher consciousness. Such symbols – from the eagle to the lotus – are honored across cultures. They reflect our shared human experience and the existence of universal truths that transcend the barriers of language, time, and place.

Such symbols speak to the interplay between our divine essence and our earthly experience. Ultimately, they urge us to recognize the essential oneness of all people and all life. Our goal is to motivate individuals and institutions to seek out their highest purpose and to be guided by universal values such as love, compassion, wisdom, cooperation, and service to others.

We chose the olive tree as the symbol of our work due to its enduring nature, its ability to remain firmly rooted while adaptable to change, and its universal association with peace.
