‘’We have now arrived at the Un-Manifest, which is the basis of manifestation, the support of the sensual world. It is then that, from the microcosmic point of view, the Great Arcana is unveiled! The substratum of Manifestation is achieved! When our ego has passed through all the stages of purification, and when it ends by dissolving completely, the form of the directing Eloï is established in the Impersonal.  

Union is achieved in the highest Sephira, and the Microcosm and the Macrocosm are no longer separate, but become one.’’ Practical Kabbalah – R. Ambelain (19XX). trans. Piers A. Vaughan, p. 81, in fine.

Challenging the Water’s Inertia
The existence of two daily tides is explained by the Moon's gravitational pull, creating two opposite bulges in Mother Earth’s oceans, combined with her daily rotation, and the interaction of the Moon and the Sun's gravitational forces.

Oscillating currents produced by tides are known as tidal currents. The moment that the tidal current ceases is called slack water. The tide then changes direction and is said to be turning.

The Moon’s gravitational pull must contend with the water’s physical inertia, thus explaining the delay before the tide actually turns, or reverses.  
Strategic Advisory Bureau
Speaking 
the Mother Language
Praxis Forum’s Strategic Advisory Bureau was created for the purpose of providing advice, policy research and program evaluation services to underserved communities and populations, at greater risk of experiencing health inequities, social injustice, economic poverty or discrimination, due to structural barriers that limit access to foundational resources and opportunities.

The Advisory and Risk Management Bureau (ARMB) is part of Praxis Forum’s Neutral Third Party Services, which combine innovative Public Health Practice with Dispute Prevention and Resolution principles, to improve overall performance and achieve specific policy, health equity and social justice objectives. Our areas of intervention include, but are not limited to:
   
  • Education and Training;
  • Individual and Group Processes;
  • Action on Structural Determinants;
  • Policy and Legislative Changes.

What We Do

Education and Research Into Innovative Public Health and Dispute Resolution Methods

The ARMB focuses primarily on the Health Equity and Social Justice portfolios. The Health Equity and Social Justice portfolios are intended to make certain that every person has a fair opportunity to achieve their best health and quality of life targets, regardless of race, gender, physical or psychological condition or socio-economic status, by addressing the social determinants of health and removing structural barriers to self-determination.

How We Do It

One Dimension, Multiple Channels to Achieve Policy, Health Equity and Social Justice Objectives

Multi-layered strategies that combine preventative education, environmental changes, and legislative and policy actions enhance the long-term success and sustainability of interventions that combine a health equity and social justice objective.

Why We Do It

Systemic and Full-Scale Transformations in People, Places and Power Structures

Health equity and social justice are essential for fostering long-term, intergenerational community wellbeing, by addressing health inequities and reducing all forms of systemic injustice and violence through education, rather than using more invasive, aggressive or cohersive practices to treat diseases or illnesses, or to resolve contentious matters.

Prevention is Better than Cure, Mitigation Goes Beyond Crisis Management and Remediation

Preventative and promotive interventions are most effective when implemented early, at the individual and community level, to address the social, economic, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health and justice.

Combating Violence and Deviant Behavior in the Community
In Canada, nearly 8 in 10 victims of police reported intimate partner violence are women and girls. Indigenous women are especially at greater risk of being sexually assaulted by their intimate partners and are more likely to have experienced severe and potentially life-threatening forms of violence.

Praxis Forum's Innovative Canine Program is dedicated to combating violence at the community level, by working with inmates and young offenders in curbing their deviant behavior, and enhancing their potential for successful reintegration, and gifting eligible women with a trained canine companion for their security and protection. 

The canines play a dual rehabilitative and therapeutic role with inmates and young offenders, and enable women whose life and security is threatened by an ex-intimate partner, to experience a higher quality of life, security and peace of mind, recovery from trauma, improved self-esteem and greater control over their lives.
A Change of Direction
Restoring Natural Patterns
Restoring natural patterns in human behavior involves reconnecting with the natural environment and optimizing nutrition to counteract the cognitive, emotional, and physical depletion caused by chronic stress and modern-day living.

By reshaping primary health program architecture to a more eco-humanistic approach, community health programs can further contribute to preventing chronic diseases, and distress and isolation, by addressing the evolutionary mismatch between modern environments and biological patterns.

This approach, often referred to as humanizing health environments, focuses on slow living to nurture both physical and mental well-being, and make natural, health-promoting behaviors and social cooperation the standard.

Choosing the Right Tools to Achieve Policy Objectives
A strategic plan fosters creativity, resilience and operational excellence. It provides leaders and executive teams with a comprehensive, long-term framework for sustainable growth and socio-economic development, ensuring that human, material and financial resources and investments are relevant, beneficial and cost-effective.

Key benefits of a customized strategic plan include; long-term vision and focus, improved communication with internal and external stakeholders, enhanced financial risk and variance management, and increased investment potential for the community and its members.

A strategic plan helps remove structural barriers by transforming systemic, invisible obstacles into measurable, actionable goals, and establishing long-term accountability.

Conciliation

Communtiy-Based Conciliation is a process for helping disputing parties work through their issues by way of an informal, voluntary, confidential and non-adjudicative process that typically results in a settlement agreement which is binding on the parties. The conciliator is a neutral third-party, who is impartial and independent. The conciliator’s role is to provide disputing parties with a fair and equitable process in which to prevent the escalation of their matter, manage variances and reach a fair and reasonable settlement. The Community-Based Conciliation service is appropriate for dealing with a broad-range of issues involving private, corporate or commercial matters.

Mediation Service

Mediation is a voluntary, confidential, and informal process in which a neutral third party, the mediator assists disputing parties in reaching a mutually acceptable settlement of their issues. The core purpose of mediation is to facilitate communication and help the parties generate their own solutions, rather than having a decision imposed upon them by a judge or arbitrator.

Faciliation

The community is full of complex and delicate questions. Facilitation sessions are perfect for working through or debriefing some of the ugliest battles that communities may face in their daily endeavors. This service is open to community representatives and executives, and their personnel or members, conducting business under federal or provincial jurisdictions in Canada. Topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to; human rights issues, matters of consultation and accommodation, jurisdictional issues, funding frameworks and policies, public and private service contracts, employment contracts, and a wide range of issues in the workplace.

Neutral Investigation

Neutral investigation is a confidential and non-binding administrative process, designed to meet the operational needs and requirements of an organization, in terms of assessing and mitigating risk related to cases of misconduct, including psychological and sexual violence or harassment in the workplace.

Arbitration Service

Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution where a neutral third party hears evidence from all sides and renders a final and binding decision. This process is typically private, less formal, and often faster and less expensive than traditional court litigation.

Co-Creating the Future
Exposure to the
Neutral Perspective
Rule-bound, man-made structures and systems can produce strong pressures for conformity, therefore killing the spirit of creativity, harmony and regeneration.

Consultation with your Third-Party Neutral is a means of avoiding cause-and-effect biases and tunnel vision, especially when making decisions of significant importance, that depend upon knowledge that can only be completely revealed in the future.
