Joined up thinking… and why it matters

This is an excerpt from one of the presentations featured in the Pari Center’s event Radical Visions, in Pari on May 23-30, 2025.

A defining quality in the lives of the two Davids, and of the Pari Center from its inception to the present day, is a holistic ethos that transcends academic boundaries, especially the institutional walls that have been erected between science, the arts and the sacred. I will celebrate this with personal insights and anecdotes, including those from my long-standing engagement with Pari, and elaborate on why its absence is at the root of many contemporary problems, from climate breakdown to populism.

Andrew Fellows is a Jungian Analyst and former Program Director at ISAP Zurich, independent researcher and author. He holds a Doctorate in Applied Physics, and enjoyed two decades of international engagement with renewable energy, sustainable development and environmental policy before moving to Switzerland. He has identified synergies between Jungian Psychology, Gaia theory, dual-aspect monism and deep ecology to address the global metacrisis. His first book, Gaia, Psyche and Deep Ecology: Navigating Climate Change in the Anthropocene was joint winner of the Scientific & Medical Network 2019 Book Prize.

Andrew first visited Pari in 2003, and has subsequently given several presentations there and online, and many more worldwide.
