E21C

A Renaissance approach for

the 21st century

Europe in the 21st Century™ (E21C) is a non-profit organization founded by Dr Petia Prime, a medical scientist and modern visionary. She integrates art, intuitive insight and scientific reason in her work to support individuals in the search for meaning and wholeness. At E21C, we believe that creativity and open inquiry should go hand in hand with spiritual aspirations. This balanced and multi-facetted approach, which expresses the ideals of the European Renaissance, is a source of healing and renewal, that is urgently needed in the fragmented world of the 21st century.

A modern
western path

E21C offers a path of personal and spiritual development that serves the needs of the modern Western person. Drawing from religious and philosophical traditions as well as her own scientific and intuitive insights, Petia Prime has developed a body of texts, practical tools and exercises to guide sincere seekers in their quest for self-knowledge. The E21C teachings go beyond mere information and lead to experiential knowledge. Practitioners learn to quieten the mind and gradually integrate the spiritual core, the silence within. The discipline of self-observation and the cultivation of mindfulness are fundamental to this endeavor. In contrast to spiritual quick fixes, E21C offers a serious path that is based on honesty, perseverance and patience.

The art of self-knowledge

The beginning of the spiritual, as we understand it, is the experience of the silence and beauty in the heart. There we discover the love of life, the timeless creative impulse, that renews us. Art - both active engagement in artwork and the contemplation of art - plays a central role in the activities of E21C. As a ‘bridge to the subconscious’, artistic expression helps us to let go of limiting personal patterns and to connect to our authentic Self. The contemplation of timeless works of art and architecture allows us to recognize universal patterns and archetypes as ‘building blocks of the Self’. E21C offers a heart-centered approach to the art of self-knowledge. The heart harbours enormous creative potential waiting to blossom. In a world full of noise and distortion, the experience of authentic creativity is a blessing.

Healing Arts

A grounded medical scientist with an interest in traditional healing arts, Dr Prime has studied healing traditions of the East and West with a focus on methods that work. By combining evidence-based functional medicine with a holistic understanding of the human body and its energetics, she has created a compendium of explanatory models, methods and tools of modern healing arts. It is aimed at laypeople and professionals who are interested in complementary methods to achieve a state of balance and well-being in themselves and others. Given the prevalence of complex and chronic diseases that cannot be treated with a simple ‘silver bullet’, a holistic perspective on health and well-being is more important than ever.

Community

The spiritual in us is less an ‘I’ than a ‘we’, a common selfhood. Human beings are intrinsically cooperative. E21C is committed to an ethos of caring, sharing, serving and loving. Our work on personal and spiritual growth is a communal endeavor. People are always coming and going. A group offers us a mirror to reflect on our behavior and a training ground for ethical conduct. Working in a group also creates a strong dynamics that allows profound transformation. In today's fragmented society we need a sense of community more then ever.
