That Manifesto

A guideline for being How can we live meaningfully? How can remain deliberate in our decisions, and wholehearted in our actions? How can we nurture deep connections to our Earth, ourselves and each other? We’ve ruminated with these questions for some time. And while there are many philosophized assumptions which seek to determine how joy, fulfillment and goodness can be attained, there are few absolute answers. Every being needs to interpret their own needs, and prioritize their own values. At That Eclectic, these values are centered around community, collaboration, creativity & self-expression. So we’ve compiled 13 rules to guide us through the challenges of existence. We’re sharing these thoughts so that perhaps you can find some solace and understanding in them too.

Say What: Multiplicity

A collection of themed media recommendations. To celebrate the sheer diversity of humanity’s multiplicity, we compiled a list of multi-media recommendations that showcase the transient nature of culture, heritage and identity. This collection of novels, podcasts and videos demonstrates the struggles that global citizens experience in response to expectations of conformity and assimilation. As we redefine purist definitions of ‘culture’ and ‘religion’, we must search for alternative unifiers and experiences to bind our societies and communities.
