Diving into our relationship with time
How is your relationship with time? This course is designed to help you understand what time is and to question how your perceptions of it impact individual and collective decisions. An opportunity to introduce the field of time studies as an area of ​​activity and an important instrument for navigating changes.
Throughout history and in different cultures, our relationship with time is shaped by conventions such as the sundial, the hourglass and the calendar to behavioral aspects such as the F.O.M.O. with smartphones, paralysis in the face of the uncertainty of a next career or life step or even the growing wave of stress and anxiety diagnoses in today's societies.

When we are in connection with natural time, we move together towards a more creative, conscious and just society. Temporal intelligence is among the skills that bring a new look to reality, its roots and what is emerging as branches of the current moment. Analyzes that are present in the performance of a student of time and are applicable in any field of activity.

Conscious contribution

Conscious contribution is a form of payment for the course, as it offers each of us the opportunity to understand the time invested and choose how much we can and want to pay, within our personal context. (something that doesn’t require sacrifice, nor is it just symbolic). Each participant is invited to contribute freely, anonymously and consciously, in view of the costs and people involved.
We suggest that your contribution be a value that represents a balance between how much you believe and value this proposal, not be a sacrifice for you and represent a small personal effort. We believe in a network of prosperity and abundance.
