In a time when humanity is grappling with the challenges of overcoming the self-imposed obstacles to collective cooperation and maturity, a critical and detached examination of the patterns of thought and behavior inhibiting true reciprocity and genuine concern is necessary. The Badasht Project seeks to explore how the use of beauty, music and the arts can serve as a catalyst for change, consciousness, revolution, and insight.

Creating and utilizing cultural vehicles characterized by unity in diversity and the deep appreciation of the oneness of humanity, we hope to empower community life and patterns of activity that can effectively generate positive change in the world.

"...Every system, short of the unification of the human race, has been tried, repeatedly tried, and been found wanting."
