There is a growing global movement now of people who hold a vision for a humane, compassionate, caring, unified world. This vision is calling us to co-creation and co-operation. Yet It is not always so easy to know how to act in support of this vision and, in the rush of daily life, it can be hard to find the depth of conversation from which genuine clarity and inspiration arises. Building peer learning communities with a common language and shared values provides essential support, eases the journey and empowers us all to move forward with grace and confidence.

Do you have a keen interest in conscious evolution and the vital role consciousness plays in the well-being of people and planet?

There is a growing collective awareness that any actions we take in support of our vision for a more humane world must be rooted in a wise, holistic consciousness and moved by the certainty of the interconnectedness of life and a genuine concern for the greater whole.  Many of us are living at the growing edge of this awareness, realising that we are stepping into the unknown together; cultivating beginners mind is one of the best contributions we can make.

Are you on a journey to an authentic life?  Living your life as a transformational journey? Perhaps you’re freeing yourself from old limited conditioning and behaviours and at times you feel you’re balancing on a growing edge which feels quite precarious?

Even though you know in your heart you are a cell in a growing global movement of people who are evolving towards living consciously and creatively, you probably feel alone at times as you face the inevitable challenges transformation brings? Journeying into the unknown is always risky and it’s natural to experience doubt. When we join together in an intentional way to explore our experience of being in transition a bigger perspective and a powerful energy field emerges to enlighten our way forward together.

If you’re a community leader, a new culture maker, an environmental or social activist, a healer, passionate entrepreneur or a concerned citizen, you’ll know that “to be the change” is a big commitment involving ongoing attention to the inner world of consciousness and upgrading skills in the creative process and communication and relationship skills. This is all so much easier within a supportive group.

TRIBE IN TRANSITION is a transformational programme designed to gather and grow community,with the intention to:

•  Engage in an inquiry to discover a common language and common understandings for our experience of what is happening in our world and the process of being in transition from the old paradigm to the co-creation of the new.  So that we can transform fear into excitement, focus our intentions and participate wholeheartedly. 
• Approach life’s transitions and challenges consciously and creatively. So that we can clarify our direction, renew our purpose and move forward with confidence.
• Explore our experiences of consciousness shifts and the inner world with beginners mind. So that we can provisionally map the territory and take our next steps into the unknown.
•  Adopt simple consciousness practices and tools for transformation. So that we align with our essential wholeness, choose well-being, and exercise our creative freedom. 
•  Clear inner blocks to creativity.   So that we can extend our mastery of the creative process, and move forward in our full creative and co-creative power. 
• Cultivate conscious peer relationships and transformative community as we identify shared values, principles and skills.  So that we become a healthy cell of the new culture.   
• Appreciate our group meetings as an experimental consciousness laboratory for exploring our growing edge. So that we encourage each other to live in the integrity of the authentic self, become a powerful attractor field for co-prosperity and thrive through times of radical uncertainty.

The programme provides stimulus material and community forums to explore the following themes:

THE SKILLS OF ESSENTIAL LISTENING AND DEEP DISCOVERY

Session 1:  CREATING OUR CONTAINER

In this first session we will start to build the context and container in which our work together can flourish. The foundation is the quality of our presence and listening. According to the principles of whole person learning, listening is not a skill involving only  the ears and the mind but a practice engaging mind, body, and soul.  Experiential practices focused on how to listen with the whole being, to listen attentively and mindfully, deeply and creatively, frees each participant to explore beyond what they already know and uncover new insights and inspirations. We will practice the skills of deep discovery in this first session and use them to begin to clarify intentions and values, collective purpose, group agreements and our preferred ways of being together.

Deep Discovery triads will meet throughout the programme to support the inquiry.

THE INNER WORK OF TRANSFORMATION

Session 2:  CRISIS – DOORWAY TO TRANSFORMATION?  How to unlock the door of change and step beyond suffering into renewed meaning, direction and purpose

In this session you will have the opportunity to explore your own experience of being in transition and the meanings you give to what is happening in our world. Crisis is one way of describing those times in personal and collective life when the shock of sudden change breaks through our comfort zone, disrupts our lives and leaves us unusually open and vulnerable. These are times of  opportunity for renewal and transformation.  Questions for inquiry are intended to help you to better understand your relationship with the crises you have experienced in the past; to resolve any unresolved trauma and beliefs which are limiting your forward movement; and to develop an expansive, inspiring framework for the future.

Session 3:  AWAKENING TO NEW DIMENSIONS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

We can’t create a new culture on the foundations of the old thinking.  A culture that does not repeat all the mistakes humans have been prone to but is founded in unity, love, wisdom and creative expression – can only emerge as we radically change our perspectives and our thinking. And our thinking only changes significantly when we move into higher and more expanded stages of consciousness.This session provides support to share and deepen our understanding of the process of how consciousness awakens, to identify common themes and landmarks on the journey and how we actively engage in evolving consciousness.

CREATIVE EMPOWERMENT  

Session 4:   CREATIVE EMPOWERMENT: A PATH TO WHOLENESS

Creative self-expression, authenticity and deep soul healing are very closely aligned. As consciousness shifts and we empty the self of old stories, there are times when there appears to be little holding our lives together; and there are times when we are so distracted that what is most important gets lost.  As we find and maintain a clear and purposeful creative focus, especially in troubled time, we connect with a source of guidance and renewal. This is an opportunity to share and deepen your own experience of being a creative agent of change.

Session 5:   TRANSFORMATION 

The resource for this session is a set of daily audio meditations to strengthen the transformational muscles.  In our group session we will explore together how we experience transformation and what have been helpful supports for us through the process.

CO-CREATING THE NEW CULTURE

Session 6:  THE VITAL SHIFT FROM “ME” TO “WE” 

A foundational understanding of this programme is that we are moving into an era in which co-creation and collaboration are essential. In any group no one person holds the answers – we all  hold a piece of a bigger truth and an aspect of a wider perspective, and together we can create a fertile field in which we can all discover deeper truths and receive new inspirations . The shift from self interest to cultivating the well-being of the greater wholes  of which we are part is the growing edge of consciousness for many of us. Together we will co-create guidelines and practices for being in peer based  transformational community.

Session 7:  CULTURAL TRANSITION AND THE RE-CREATION OF OUR WORLD – How developing and contributing our unique gifts can create stepping stones across the void of transition

All over the planet innovative grassroots projects are transforming local communities and virtual communities connect us into one world. As the old systems – such as the mainstream economy and our reliance on fossil fuels – crumble, there are people in every sphere of life dedicated to co-creating a new culture in harmony with all living systems. We will share the joys and challenges of our work in the world and our vision for a holistic culture.

 “If you feel alone in your attempts to think about and/or address, the dilemmas presented by our present ecological crisis, consider ‘Tribe In Transition’  – it’s an opportunity to share what is daunting, overwhelming and distressing and transform it into connectedness, empowerment and positive change.” Carol, Golden Bay, New Zealand 

“At last, some one has taken up the massive challenge and thought through the complexities of an essentially human approach to changing the tired old paradigm  within which we all live. The e- books are a delight to read and offer thought provoking challenges for the reader.”  Nikhil
