Ouroboros Research and Education Trust
"The name Ouroboros is of Greek origin and is derived from the ancient symbol of a serpent or dragon devouring its own tail. Found in Asia, Egypt, Europe and the Americas, it symbolised wisdom and the continuity of cycles. It has also been thought to symbolise the rise and fall of great civilisations as they disappear and reappear throughout time." [1]
"The Ouroboros Research and Education Trust is a charitable organisation that funds and supports leading-edge research into the field known as Ancient Wisdom Studies. Combining scientific rigor with the openness necessary to explore the diverse number of related subjects, it seeks to bridge science and spirit, logic and intuition, and modern worldviews with ancient knowing." [1]
They provide a link to the 2020 Challenge Report: "The 2020 Fund is a philanthropic platform committed to accelerating progress toward a sustainable world. It is hosted at the King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) United States, Inc., which is affiliated with the Brussels-based KBF." [2]
Founded by Wendy Ellyatt and Diahann Hughes. [2] The Trust is a Founding Member of the World Wisdom Alliance.
