Editors Note

Dear Readers,

Welcome to this “Back to the Future” issue highlighting the set-up of archives on the work of the Institute of Cultural Affairs and its sister organisations. The ICA developed various materials for its programs and projects which may be of value in other contexts today. These include methods of planning, educating and motivating; curriculums and manuals incorporating these for community development programs such as “Human Development Projects” or community “awakenment” programs like “Town Meetings”; analytical tools such as the “Social Process Triangles”; and maps of “The Other World” describing different states-of-being and of the “New Religious Mode” describing processes of consciousness.

“The Global Archives Project” section spells out the work of the GAP team. “Trail Blazers” highlights some watershed projects and programs. “In Review” gives a personal account of ICA’s work over the decades. The last section contains regular columns readers will be familiar with.

We have kept abbreviations and jargon to a minimum; where we were unable to, we hope you won’t mind gleaning their meaning from the context. We hope you enjoy this issue – please send us comments and reflections so we can continue to improve this product.

The next edition of Winds and Waves will come out in December with the subject of “Mentoring” being the main topic. Copy deadline for submissions is Friday, November 7th, 2014.

Co-Editors – Dharmalingam Vinasithamby and John Miesen
