About

From Banaterra to the Self

Since ancient times, the search for the self has been an important theme in every individual's existence. We all strive to understand who we are and what our purpose in this life is, often touching, through reflection, and abstract and profound aspects of human nature.

The search for the self is not an easy journey, and the answers are not always clear. However, the process itself is valuable. It helps us grow, develop, and align with our true identity. When we discover ourselves, we are more ready to take responsibility for our own lives and live authentically.

Banaterra is committed to bridging cultural gaps and promoting intercultural understanding, a process similar to that of Timisoara, which pioneered bringing light to public spaces through electricity. By helping to enlighten the mind and heart of each individual, we can bring more understanding and harmony into personal space.

Our story

Our journey began in 2005 as part of the Ratsko.Net Global Culture Network project and is now a growing community where everyone is welcome to contribute and grow regardless of their background. Come as you are and dare to explore your authenticity.

Our guiding principles

Reflect our inner aspirations and moral orientation in the world. Issues such as respect for human dignity, individual freedom, equality, and solidarity are deeply rooted in human ethics and philosophy and developed throughout history to help us better understand what it means to be a human being in a complex world.

Values that unite

Banaterra is a neutral educational space, where regardless of language, religion, or ideology, universal fundamental human values bring us together. We create a virtual environment where we invite curious minds to discover themselves through philosophy, art, and universal literature and to contribute to the development of Banaterra for all.

Banaterra Community

Our community is a place where diversity is welcome and universal values are the starting point for all its members. In an ever-changing world, where technology is gaining more and more space and the ability to retain information is ever decreasing, Banaterra offers opportunities for deeper exploration and understanding of the self and the world around us, close to the soul of those who crosses its 'threshold'.

Education - Key to Transformation

We believe that education is the key to change. Through it, people can come to know themselves and the world around them more deeply. A foreign proverb suggests that in pursuing wisdom and spirituality, we can find a connection with divinity and a deeper understanding of our being.

Thinking outside the box is an intellectual approach that emphasizes the importance of exploring and transcending conventional boundaries. This philosophy encourages the individual to look beyond the usual constraints and paradigms, to investigate the depths and heights of human thought in search of truth and a deep understanding of the world and the self. "Why are we here?", "What does it mean to be free?" and "What is the purpose of life?" are just a few of the questions that are heard when the stillness within us falls.

Banaterra invites you to deep introspection and philosophical exploration of human existence, shedding light on the essential questions that shape our perception of life.

The search for the self never ends. We are constantly evolving beings, and our understanding of who we are changes as we go through life experiences and lessons, connecting us to our individual and collective essence and wisdom.
