About

Our Mission

One Solution is working to solve large-scale global challenges by helping individuals, communities and systems to change from within. We believe that educating people about the mind so they can reconnect to their innate well-being, resilience and capacity for new ideas is the most efficient and sustainable solution to any problem.

Our Core Tenets

Our core Tenets are what we know to be the true nature of human beings and what we mine for in any interaction we have, whether with an individual, a community, or the wider world through media and technology. We do not teach these tenets, as they are actually ever present in all life. We illuminate and draw forth this deeper nature that resides within all of us. It is in people’s rediscovery of these universal truths that insight occurs, which leads to profound and far-reaching change.
We all create our own experience of life through thought.

While it often seems like life is happening to us, life is actually experienced from the inside out –through our thoughts experienced in the moment. All thoughts can (and often do) change, therefore experience can change. While my thinking may be different than your thinking, it is not better or worse. It is simply thought, it does not have matter, or mass, it is a universal formless energy that lives in the mind.

Beyond the differences we see in our thinking, we are all one.

We create stories through different thought systems, which tell us we are different from one another. This creates fear, division, inequality and systemic bias. Throughout history, these thought systems change and evolve. While thoughts look and feel very real, they are simply imagined. Beyond our imagined differences, all humans are the same essence: life.

Resilience is innate to human life.

Every living thing on the planet, including the planet itself, is designed to maintain balance. Understanding that all life, including us, is designed to be physically and emotionally resilient, allows us to trust in nature, heal faster, and recover balance in our lives. Our innate resilience can not be externally given, therefore, it cannot be created or destroyed by others. It is built into us on a cellular level.

The mind is the source, not the symptom.

While it’s often hard to see, the mind is the creator of all global and personal issues, not the passive receiver of them. As our internal world becomes healthier and more resilient, so does our external world. Therefore, our efforts should always deal with the source of problems first, and then tend to whatever symptoms remain. If we try to change the world, without changing the mind, we will be trapped in an endless cycle of dealing with more and more symptoms. If we change minds, we will change the world.

All life is interconnected

No living thing functions in isolation. Just as we understand that the health of our oceans affect all ecosystems around the world, we can understand that the health of our minds affect the systems that guide our society. We must all strive to be more holistic, collaborative, and sustainable in our thinking. Because what is good for the whole is ultimately the only solution that will last.

One mind. One world. One solution.

People often think we’re crazy or out of touch when they hear “one solution.” But when any individual, community, or organization of people learns how the mind functions and how it’s the the source for true change in the world, then the minds of people becomes the most leveraged place to look. Let’s focus our time, energy and resources on healing societies and the planet at the source.

Our History

Our Origins

After more than a decade working with individuals and organizational leadership teams, focusing on education about the mind and our internal resources, we realized that a pervasive misunderstanding about the mind and the resulting lack of well-being in the world could be identified as the source of almost every problem that humanity currently faces, small or large. War, poverty, distribution of resources, gun violence, failing systems, you name it. If you travel far enough upstream you’ll discover an unhealthy misuse of the mind at the source of all of them. The good news, we realized, is once you see the source of something, you can treat it. One Solution began with a single conference in Oslo, Norway in 2016 which brought together global leaders and consultants who deal with everything from refugees in Gaza, to victims of the earthquake in Nepal, to corruption in the Kenyan police department, to explore how shifting our focus to the mind might be the key to affecting change more rapidly and preventing the perpetuation of these issues. The hope, inspiration and collaboration that came out of that event is what led to the creation of One Solution as a global non-profit with projects and partnerships in cities and countries across the globe.

Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized.

Our Future

We’re only just beginning… It is our hope that with vision and determination we will get closer and closer to creating a much needed shift in the world. One that is away from forever dealing with the symptoms of a society that lacks the basic understanding of unconditional innate resilience and the capacity to solve our problems, toward a world in which we know, behave and create societies from a foundation of mental well-being, equality, creativity and collaboration. We feel strongly that this is not a naive or impossible vision, but rather an evolutionary imperative that we hope to foster and facilitate through our work.
