origins

The Sapience Project is the creation of Frank Forencich, author of New Old Way and other books about health and the human predicament.

After studying the body and the biosphere for decades, Frank grew increasingly aware of a gap in our conversation. That is, we hear a great deal about political, policy and technological solutions, but most of our proposals fail to go upstream to the root of our relationship with the world. For that, we need to be talking about wisdom.

Frank himself makes no claims to wisdom, but he does have a burning curiosity about what it means to be sapient, especially in light of our modern planetary challenges. As an activist and student, Frank is constantly searching for interesting voices that can make our conversation more meaningful, relevant and effective.
