QUANTUM SOCIAL LEARNING FOR TRANSFORMATIVE SOCIAL CHANGE
After two decades of research and development, we have called our work: quantum social learning or QSL-IOLEE. We have defined quantum (plural: quanta) as the most subtle aspect of a social phenomenon, which is a thought, feeling, and sensation.
QSL-IOLEE is transdisciplinary. Its interpretation of quantum theory orients towards studying living systems, through interoception attunes one's language skills to what emerges from within, and frames experience socially to understand the dynamics of intra-action (Karen Barad).
This continuous orienting, attuning, and understanding, from the inside out, evolves learning to the realization that what we experience subjectively and objectively are in superposition and thus experienced as a whole.
We gain an experiential understanding of, among other things, the fragmentation of time, entanglement, superposition, coherence; pervading through the permeable boundaries between our unconscious, subconscious, and conscious experience, and between what we experience subjectively and intersubjectively; and how the way we observe dynamically structures our interpretation of reality.
QSL’s internally led process, reorganizes, rebalances, reorients, and harmonizes our intra-actions with the people and the systems that surround us. Its objective is to cultivate resilience and well-being on all levels, and in relation to everyone and everything, from the inside out.

PRESENT
- We have conducted literary studies, and practice based research that has culminated in the development of the theoretical and practical foundation of QSL-IOLEE.
2001-present
- Since 2001 we have engaged in thousands of hours of cross-referenced action learning based mentoring, which has contributed and is still contributing to modeling the language that describes how experience emerges from within (intra-action), and how this extends into the social environment to form the way we interact with each other intersubjectively and inter-personally.
2007-2009
- We realized a government (USONA) sponsored professional development process in collaboration with government organizations for forty-five (45) educational professionals including: educationists, mentors, faculty of a teacher-training college, University of the Netherlands Antilles, and policy-makers in Curacao.
2010-2012
- We realized various presentations and workshops for educators in The Netherlands and Belgium.
- We have realized various facilitator trainings for professionals in The Netherlands in collaboration with Stichting Reis, led by Hugo Labout. Locations were chosen in Amsterdam and Leiden.
2012-2013
- We realized a series of workshops at the University of Aruba.
- We realized a series of facilitator training and workshops at the Instituto Pedagógico di Aruba.
2013- 2018
- We realized various in-person conference presentations, workshops, and retreats in Miami, FL; Boone, NC; Indianapolis, IN; Princeton, NJ; Bridgeport, CT in the USA.
2016-2018
- We operated a physical campus in Lawrenceville, NJ (USA), offering in-person workshops, mentoring, before our decision to mainly conduct our activities online.
2018-2022
- We realized 1-year facilitator trainings for six (5) cohorts of participants from Curaçao, The Netherlands, UK, USA, Italy, South Africa, India, and Canada.
- Realized various in-person workshops in Medellin, Colombia.
- We trained a number of academics from the USA, Japan and India to explore IOLEE’s internally led process.
2020-2020
- We realized a number of online 9-week introductory workshops with participants from the Curaçao, USA, UK, South Africa, India, Netherlands, and Finland.
- We realized in-person workshops for social workers at SEDA in Curaçao.
- We also realized two in-person weekend retreats for the general public in Curaçao.
2020-2022
- Completed a study in collaboration with the Institute of Noetic Science, CA. (USA) and interviews to qualitatively measure the impact of the practice of IOLEE on the quality of life experience of an international group of participating learners from the U.K., U.S.A., The Netherlands, Croatia, and Curaçao. This serves as the basis for illustrating several case studies in the upcoming textbook. Research lead: Carlo G. Monsanto, affiliated with IOLEE Ecosystem, and Ronin Institute.
- Contributed to the development of the Consciousness Quotient Inventory (CQ-i) (https://www.consciousness-quotient.com/online-assessment/) and co-authored a research article “An Exploratory Analysis of Collective Patterns of Conscious Experience Using a Self-Report Questionnaire” that describes the use of the CQ-i to measure conscious experience. Research lead: Ovidiu Brazdău, affiliated with the Consciousness Quotient Institute (Romania). Las accessed 2022: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.634677/full.
- Completed a literary study (Carlo G. Monsanto), and in silico computational modeling (Lokesh Agrawal) of SARS-CoV-2, Spike S1/S2 protein code transfer mechanism, and real-world exploration (Carlo G. Monsanto) of how IOLEE’s linguistic framework, which describes patterns of maladaptive coping responses, correlates with patterns of maladaptation induced by Spike S2. This study served to support the development of an overarching theoretical framework to illustrate mentioned mechanisms, and inform QSL-IOLEE’s practice within this specific context. Research lead: Carlo G. Monsanto, affiliated with the IOLEE Ecosystem, and Ronin Institute.
- Completed reviewing and co-authoring a research article “Viroinformatics-Based Analysis of SARS-CoV-2 Core Proteins for Potential Therapeutic Targets” to contribute towards more effectively identifying the right combination of therapeutics to target SARS-CoV-2’s core Spike S1 and S2 protein. Research lead: Lokesh Agrawal, affiliated with IOLEE Ecosystem, University of Tsukuba (2020) (currently affliated with Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology). Last accessed 2022: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4468/10/1/3
- We are co-authoring training materials that describe QSL-IOLEE’s systems orientation, linguistic attuning, and social framing, which serves to show the dynamics, mechanisms and processes involved in producing the effects researched in previous studies. QSL-IOLEE uses a unique Socially-framed Quantum Theory (SfQT). Contact us if you or your organization are interested in a presentation and experience.

CONSULTANCY AND TRAINING
From 2001 our consultants and trainers have been involved in organizational consultancy, and training, using QSL-IOLEE as the foundational approach towards team building, conscious communication, and social change.
IOLEE based projects initiated by other institutions
A number of organizations and institutions implement IOLEE as an ingredient within their own programs. The following constitutes a growing list of projects.
Period/Description:
2021-present
- Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education (Mexico) has designed and is implementing its IOLEE-based program for student well-being called PCIC or “Programa para Conocimiento Interno y Compasión”. This is scheduled to be gradually rolled out starting 2022 to all of the TEC’s 26 campuses, including academic centers and high schools. More information about this program through the TEC website: https://tqueremos.tec.mx/es/PCIC
For more information about these projects you may contact us at: admission@iolee.life
(1) QSL means quantum social learning | IOLEE, inside out learning experience ecosystem, refers to a set of scientific and linguistic frameworks, and practices.
