Russian house #1 is intended to become a PostNonClassical science Center, according to classification of Russian philosopher V. PostNonClassical science is something where the researcher includes himself or herself in the research system and obtains knowledge which is not separated from the researcher. The researcher experiences integration of himself or herself into the World. To comprehend on con
trary with a classical science, in this case, means to integrate oneself with everything. Russian House #1 is a community intended for a consciousness exploration and personal growth. It is a free cultural space and an experimental cultural platform. As a community we create:
- a frontier restaurant with home-like concept of food-sharing, human communication, participation and sharing;
- a space for cultural exchange (open mics, exhibition, special food days, movies, celebrations);
- experiment in new economics;
- an environment for personal and collective consciousness studies (riddles and puzzles for the public, breathworks, different meditations, mind-development and self-reflection cultivation practices, mindfulness as a path, Game Mastery as priority approach to life-problem solving)
We want to find a way of making things with harmony instead of profit,
with creativity instead of consumption,
and with friendship instead of client-customer relationship and social rules. Russian House #1 is located right on the Russian River. People see it as a mysterious place, where the river meets the ocean and miracles happen here often. Our main focus is the self-exploration and human development. In order to cultivate it we do:
- Experience weeks (weeks of living and experiencing our community life)
- Russian Games
- Breathworks (Rebirthing, Holotropic breathwork, Da-breathing, etc.)
- Intellectual clubs (salon) each Sunday
- Special events and talks
Our methods can be united with the name of “breakthrough psychology”. Our mission is to facilitate transcendent experience and a meaningful way of life, which we call the 5th way. Russian House #1 is being built around human development and enlightenment goals. We value freedom and friendship and ready for experiments.
