〈Wonju Hansalim Second Declaration (2026)〉 Draft

We choose not a civilization of domination, but a civilization of resonant life.

I. Why We Declare Again?

Hansalim began in Wonju in 1985,
opening a new path of the life movement that connected
rice and agriculture, producers and consumers,
cities and rural communities.

Now, more than forty years later,
the world is no longer the world of the 1989 First Declaration.

The climate crisis has become a daily reality,
ecosystems are approaching their limits,
and AI and platforms are reshaping human labor, relationships, and judgment.
Financial capital and geopolitical rivalry destabilize regions and ordinary lives,
while relationships between city and countryside, generation and generation,
human and human are collapsing simultaneously on a global scale.

The collapse of relationships is the collapse of life itself.
At this civilizational turning point,
we gather our wisdom once again and declare anew.

II. Diagnosis of Reality — A Shifting Civilizational Structure

1. Ecological and Climate Crisis

The foundations of agriculture and food are being shaken.
Climate change is no longer merely an “environmental issue”
but a structural crisis threatening life, economy, community, and civilization itself.

2. Technology and Artificial Intelligence

AI has gone beyond being a tool of efficiency;
it is now a force reshaping ethics, relationships, labor, and the economy.
The question is not technology itself,
but what values guide its operation.

3. Finance, Debt, and an Asset-Centered Society

The world now runs on debt,
and the fluctuations of finance directly shake the lives of the people.
Local economies remain highly vulnerable to concentrated capital structures.

4. Collapse of Local Communities

Population concentration in the capital region,
the decline of rural areas,
and the weakening of regional self-reliance
threaten the future of Korean society.

5. Breakdown of Relationships

Relationships between producer and consumer,
city and countryside, generation and generation,
human and nature are breaking apart.
This crisis is not a problem of simple disconnection—
it is a civilizational crisis.

⸻

III. The Civilization of Resonance — The Next 40 Years Hansalim Will Open

We stand at a threshold where
a civilization of domination, competition, and separation
gives way to a civilization of resonance, cooperation, and circulation.

1. Resonance Is the Operating Principle of Life

Life sustains life.
Soil, water, seeds, sunlight, labor, people, and communities
live through mutual resonance.

2. From Domination to Resonance

The present crisis reveals the limits of a civilization of domination.
The next civilization must be built upon
connection, circulation, reciprocity, cooperation, and trust.

3. The Core of a Resonant Civilization

Resonance is not merely a philosophy—it is the structure of everyday living.
A civilization centered on life, care, locality, circulation, relationships, cooperation,
transparency, and trust forms the heart of the resonant civilization.

4. Resonance in the Age of AI

AI must be redefined not as a tool of domination
but as a technology that strengthens the resonance of life.
Hansalim will use AI to:
   •   connect producers and consumers,
   •   ensure transparency in livelihood pricing,
   •   circulate life-based currency,
   •   predict climate and agricultural risks,
   •   and strengthen cooperative and auditing structures.

5. The Mission of Hansalim

For over forty years, Hansalim has walked the path where
rice sustains people,
people sustain communities,
and communities resonate with the Earth.
The civilization of resonance is the name of Hansalim’s next forty years.

IV. Philosophy of Life — Life Is Relationship

Life exists through connection, circulation, reciprocity, and interdependence.
A single bowl of rice is a crystallization of life made together by
the universe, farmers, and local communities.
To eat rightly is to set the world right.

The life economy restores regional circulation;
the people’s economy restores the autonomy of everyday life.

Gratitude is the most fundamental ethic of life that opens relationships,
and it is the root of the Hansalim life movement.

⸻

V. The Structure of the Life Civilization — Five Systems

1. Livelihood Pricing System

Prices that include the cost of life and the cost of the future—
prices that reflect the dignity of soil, climate, locality, and labor.

2. Life Currency System

A circulating currency in which money moves through producers and communities,
bringing food to children’s tables, care to elders, and ecological restoration to life.

3. Life Education System

Integrated education linking climate, agriculture, technology, economy, and cooperative philosophy—
a learning community that bridges generations.

4. Comprehensive Life-Care System

Expanding rice, children, elders, neighbors, and emotional care
as the central energy of Hansalim.

5. Cooperative Solidarity System

A structure of solidarity that rebuilds the foundation of the people’s economy
through cooperation among local cooperatives, farmers’ groups, care communities,
and regional economic networks.

⸻

VI. Gratitude and Life Productivity — The Power of Sustainable Movement

Gratitude opens relationships,
and life productivity makes both sustainability and efficiency possible through a new principle.

What we must discard
is not efficiency that sustains life,
but efficiency that consumes people.

Gratitude forms the heart of the organization;
life productivity forms its strength.

When these two work together,
the Hansalim life movement endures.

⸻

VII. The 12 Practical Tasks Hansalim Will Choose
1. Restoration of relationships and deepening of resonance
2. Regional life rights and ecological transition
3. Dignity of life labor
4. Establishment of a livelihood pricing system
5. Experimentation with life currency
6. Cooperative platforms and logistics systems
7. Completion of the life education system
8. Ecological and democratic governance
9. Solidarity for the people’s economy
10. Establishment of a culture of gratitude
11. Hansalim-style redefinition of AI
12. Realization of life productivity

⸻

VIII. Closing

The Hansalim movement
began with rice,
grew into relationships,
and expanded into life itself.

Now we stand at the threshold of a new civilization.

We choose not a civilization of domination,
but a civilization of resonant life.
Let us walk together the path that gives life to one another.
This is the new mission of Hansalim.
