Flux has been working with dialogue in Norwegian prisons since the autumn of 2015 and, prior to that, with the practical application of dialogue since 2009. The story, however, begins before that.
Henrik Tschudi met David Bohm at a private dialogue Weekend in Copenhagen in 1989 and, although attending the conference because of Bohm’s reputation as a scientist, Henrik walked away deeply inspired about dialogue. A similar private dialogue weekend was arranged in Oslo by friends of his during the following year, at which time he and Peter Garrett would video-record several conversations with Bohm in Henrik’s living room.
In 1993 Henrik founded the Flux Foundation, which had as its primary purpose supporting work towards a harmonic and meaningful world. Its key focus has always been on consciousness, society, dialogue and science. The foundation has supported many projects to promote scientific approaches to understanding the world, including cosmology conferences and various types of dialogue work.
In 1993 the Flux Foundation established a life-philosophy magazine which ended its cycle as a print publication with its 50th issue in 2008. Flux Magazine is carried forward in an electronic format. In 2003 a book publishing business was added, and since 2009 this has been an independent business, still carrying the Flux name.
