Alexander Schieffer pursues an integral path to life in service of the holistic development of humanity. He is, simultaneously, a transformative educator, engaged activist, passionate community builder, integral philosopher, and spiritual poet. He lives, together with his wife and poet-performer-activist Rama Mani in the French countryside near Geneva, where both are co-creating a Home for Humanity. This place also serves as seat and rural campus for Trans4m, a center for integral development that Alexander co-founded, and which has evolved into a local global movement for the integral renewal of people and planet, active in Africa, Middle East, Europe, Asia and South America. His books in English include Integral Development, Integral Economics, Transformation Management, and Integral Research and Innovation, as well as a German poetry volume entitled Niemandsland.
