Tamar Tandashvili
My name is Tamar Tandashvili and I want to live in a world that
treats all life forms with kindness and dignity. I am a Psychotherapist by training turned into
Executive Coach and Mental Health Consultant for businesses and non-governmental institutions.
When I went to school psychology as a science emphasized an interplay of human predispositions
and an immediate environment in her final becoming. When I started private practice, I was taken
aback with two principal surprises:
Firstly, my clients demonstrated to me how much more they embodied
as consciousness bearers than assumed in the world of clinical psychology, and,
Secondly: How our cultural imagination and everyday social
practices curtail their capacity for embracing the vastness of life as a human-authored creative
act.
Thus, I started my journey of studying humans from disciplinary
standpoints of sociology, conflict studies, anthropology and mindfulness meditation on the one
hand and via working with activists, marginal groups, aid workers and big corporations and
financial institutions on the other. Regardless of the unthinkable discrepancy in availability
of resources every single human person of my encounter proved an agent of boundless potential.
An overwhelming majority of them did not even suspect they were bearing a treasure of unlimited
capacity for personal growth and sky-high achievement, for wild creativity, kindness of the
heart and radical compassion.
I witnessed lots of pain and tears due to the cruelty induced by
other humans; I saw people in utmost despair and complete darkness in their souls, but the most
heart stopping phrase I used to hear in the office was: “If I only knew all this before…”
Life Intelligence is my attempt to assemble, orchestrate and distribute knowledge to other
humans with the help of which they master life as a phenomenon with much more familiarity and
ease and cherish non-human forms of life with fundamental compassion and care.
