Reclaiming the Gift Culture “fundamentally challenges our perceptions about ourselves. Engaging in the gift culture transforms our self and world understanding by reminding us that we are being given gifts all the time from many known and unknown sources. It graciously invites us back into our sacred role as active gift-givers - from homo economicus to homo giftus. We are able to recognize and re-value our own gifts as well as those others in our own terms. This is critical for de-institutionalizing our lives and our communities - to moving beyond Experts, Money, Technology, Nation-states, Rights for defining our identity and purpose in life - and for re-asserting our dignity as diverse and creators of learning and life."
