Values

All over the world a Tribe in Transition is emerging. We are of all ages, nationalities, races, colours of skin and walks of life.  We are on a conscious, spiritual path, awakening to new dimensions of consciousness, creativity and culture.

I have made a series of videos exploring some of the values which, I believe, are shared by those of us who are becoming Whole New Humans co-creating a Whole New World. This is a work in progress and I will be adding more over the coming months. I hope you enjoy them.

The Mission of Tribe in Transition is:

Through the transformation of consciousness on Earth, we will become an inspired and compassionate humanity, co-creating a new culture of peace, unity, harmony and creative freedom for all people and all sentient beings. We provide resources to support the challenging transition from the old paradigm mindset of separation and  “power over” to the new realisation that all life is interconnected and interdependent, and the only way we can truly prosper is through collaboration and co-creation.

How is a new culture built?

Every group has its own unique culture, defined by the underlying values, principles and practices which sustain it. In order for group magic to happen the dull base metal of unconsciousness must be transformed into the glowing gold of conscious awareness and the group itself becomes an alchemical vessel.

1. Choosing to Trust:

The transition from the old paradigm world to the new requires a radical shift in consciousness which moves us from separation, struggle and effort to belonging, wholeness and flow.  As we join this new movement of life we co-create a more humane, compassionate, creative and free world. We see our inevitable challenges as part of this bigger picture and choose to trust.

2. Life is an Adventure:

When we approach life as an adventure we adopt an attitude of curiosity and experimentation and learn to balance intention and focus with non attachment to outcomes. In this way we stay open to all the information, intelligence and feedback life constantly offers us and we become more empowered creators.

3.  The Skills of Transformation:

A central part of the work of Tribe in Transition is providing forums where we can come together for conversation to explore and discover a common language and shared meanings for these experiences we may call transformation or soul work. I define transformation here as a creative act – bringing something new into form, or bringing our creative inspirations into an integrated, conscious form.  As we make the choice to align with our highest values, with what is most true, and commit to our soul work, everything in us which is not yet aligned with that arises to be transformed.

4. The Authentic Path:

When we choose to align with our highest truth and our authentic power we find our connection with the rest of humanity, with nature and with cosmos. The more truly we express the authentic self, the more we connect. And then we have no other choice but to serve that connection.  The authentic path teaches us how to live in alignment with what is most true, most whole and most creative.

5. The Soul Journey:

The soul journey is the process through which we bring the unconscious parts of our human nature into consciousness, so that more of our power and resources are available to us in daily life. The more of our human nature that is conscious, the freer we are to make creative choices and to direct our lives in alignment with those choices so that we become creative beings who have the potential to change the world for the good of all. The soul journey is unique to each individual and yet there are common themes; here i share some of my own experiences in the hope they will throw light on your own.

Follow Your Soul and Live the Wisdom

Based on my own Soul Journey and following the call of my Soul Work, these guidelines are intended to inspire, encourage and provide you with food for thought.

“The work we do in the world which expresses our authentic calling is soul inspired and when we answer the call we are led on our soul journey. This is a challenging process of inner exploration, discovery, learning and growth, in which everything which is not yet aligned with our highest potential is revealed and transformed.  We cannot expect this path to be easy but we can learn to welcome and embrace the challenges.”

6. The Process of Healing and Wholing:

The number one value of the soul is to  experience and express our wholeness. For much of the time in daily life our wholeness is obscured. Healing is the process by which we come to be connected to our wholeness  more of the time. The key is to experience all aspects of ourselves, including all those parts that have been exiled and suppressed. Through the healing journey we liberate ourselves from deep conditioning that has limited not only our own life expression but has also has kept humanity captive over centuries.

7. Becoming an empowered and conscious creator:

At its best the creative process enables us to connect with all our inner resources, with each other, and with the inspirational power of the universe.  There are many skills to be developed, one of the most valuable is to maintain an attitude of discovery, experimentation and play.

8. Co-creation – new skills emerging from our transition:

We’re moving from a culture centred on the needs of the individual to a new culture arising from the needs of the whole. Co-creation is our growing edge; it’s the shift from “me” to “we” and it can be very challenging for all of us.

This is a work in progress and there will be more videos to come. Meanwhile you may enjoy these blog posts, audios and e-books:

Here are two of the more than 100 recorded conversations I’ve held with “ordinary extraordinary” people who are changing the world by living their passion:

Being New Culture Makers

The first is with Martine Bouillir, in March 2015, from a series called Earth Wisdom Action when we were both living in Golden Bay, NZ and it focuses on the skills we need to bring our visions into form. Its a good example of how the local and global, individual and collective, inner and outer, are inextricably interwoven.

The Process of Awakening

The second is with the late Woods Elliott, my dear friend and co-creator of a Whole New World.  It’s from a teleseries called Awaken the whole New Human, in 2011.  We are exploring the process of awakening and the deep discovery conversations we practiced regularly as a form of consciousness practice and inquiry. We touch on many skills that are necessary for this co-creative discovery process which enables each person to connect with and speak from their deepest voice. This is an important aspect of Tribe in Transition which I will be offering over the coming months.

The Soul Journey Series (May 2019)

Times of disillusionment and discontent often precede a major breakthrough in consciousness and creativity.

Continuing my stories about what happens in major life transitions, today I’m talking about the creative seeds that can grow into our soul purpose and become an exciting life adventure. And how, often, our greatest gifts are closely intertwined with, and grow out of, our greatest suffering.

The universe is abundant and we are being showered with inspiration all the time. If you want to take that inspiration and use it to power your next soul story adventure or your next creative project you have to be receptive and pay that idea attention, even fall in love with it.

Have you ever had a time in your life when you were making a decision that had you shaking in your boots? If it’s a soul decision it may very well go against all rationality and yet it feels so right.
