The name Inastra is deeply rooted in meaning; representing who we are, what we do and why we do it. Inastra is derived from the Greek word “άστρo” meaning star.
To the naked eye stars are seen as white light, however that light is in fact a complete mixture of all of the wavelengths of the visible spectrum. This is how we see transdisciplinarity, a mixture of different disciplines and areas of knowledge fused together to create something new.
Humans have been using stars to navigate for millennia. This process of wayfinding takes explorers beyond the known, on journeys of discovery to new horizons using the skills and resources at hand. Only by having a clear North Star to guide direction could they succeed in exploring the unknown while staying true to the vision throughout.
The ancient Greeks used this navigation technique to become the master resource connectors of the Mediteraniean, exchanging knowledge as well as goods in order to create collective intelligence. Through this practice knowledge became an inherent source of value, even transactionally, which the Greeks were able to acquire and distribute.
