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 an authentic, conscious, spiritual path, awakening to new dimensions of consciousness, creativity and culture.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 and struggle to an inner knowing of interdependence, belonging, wholeness and flow. As we join this new movement of life we come to see our inevitable challenges as part of this bigger picture and choose to trust that dis-integration is a natural part of the process of transformation and conscious evolution. We can use every crisis as an opportunity to become more skillful and to evolve new ways of seeing, being and living together on Planet Earth.
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. 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.
6. 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.

Meanwhile, 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.
