Our Story
When the entire world chases success, career, goals, money and prosperity, there must be a room for other people who think life differently, who look for art & beauty at every sphere of life, who become amazed in the beauty of nature, who enjoy every moment to their lives, who realize themselves that there is a meaning of life when it is lived authentically, aesthetically and artfully.
Our story starts from here. It is a story of Aesthetics, Authenticity and Art. It is a story of a family that pursued their lives for something that has a higher meaning.
It is a story of two Parents and their three little kids who pledged themselves to live life with three key things : Authenticity, Aesthetics and Art.
That is it. Three great words. These three words shaped our lives, shaped our thoughts, our perceptions, and our beliefs about everything on this planet. As a family, we never had to look back to find meaning in life.
As parents, we were always proud for our kids who became even more passionate about those three things. We never had to inspire them for a moment to make them understand the true meaning of life. It was they who inspired themselves thanks Art & Beauty.
“Life is an art, life is a beauty.
Art & Beauty knows no boundary.“
We learned and applied these great lines and so did our kids.
What as parents we practiced, our kids just followed. It was like a mimic game. It wasn’t something we showed our kids they must choose. It was something they chose themselves.
We always asked ourselves
“Is there anything better other than living
with Authenticity, Aesthetics and Art?
Of course, not.
We didn’t find anything better, so we started living according these three principles.
Principle and Practice. We practiced what we believed. Authenticity, aesthetics, and Art became the significant parts to our lives. From sleeping to eating, chatting, engaging with people, shopping- everywhere to our lives, we started to apply them.
Living with authenticity on daily basis, finding aesthetics on everything, talking about art & wisdom became our everyday ritual.
Living life like this we always felt we found a meaningful way that has a full harmony.
We never wanted the life of an ascetic or a monk who wanders in the jungles or forests abandoning their sweet families and depriving themselves from all the earthly blessings life has to offer.
We never wanted either to live life with rugged individualism enjoying excessive freedom in life. We always wanted a balanced life that we can live together with our family. That has both meaning and true happiness. That is not too inclined to mysticism. Not too inclined to materialism either. Just a life in between.
The concepts-Transcendentalism and idealism were the keys to our lives. We wanted to breathe the world through poetic tone. So, Poetry and Philosophy became the primary source of oxygen to our living. In other words, they were our only oxygen that helped us survive.
The idea and concept Green Philosophy, our parent organization, was born from there.
We coined the word Green to represent nature since nature was in our heart and it symbolizes beauty and authenticity.
We added Philosophy with Green to bring Art & Wisdom in the box.
That’s it. We were all set. At least for ourselves.
But we didn’t stop there. We thought something broadly. We thought we need to share our story with the world by telling people how to become authentic and live life with Art & Beauty.
It was 2014 when we first started our Journey. During that time, we used only social media to circulate our programs. But then a big ethical issue arose.
We asked ourselves “Is Social Media really a part of Authenticity and Aesthetics?
When we realized that the principles of our organization conflict with the uses of social media, we took a pause. A big pause. We became inactive in social media and all other platforms, even though we continued all the activities within ourselves.
But, in 2018, we formally resumed with some ground-breaking milestones. We registered our parent organization Green Philosophy as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity apart from being incorporated in the State.
