A Video Interview "Building Conscious Tribes" with Mark Josephs Nadjeschda Taranczewski and Mark Josephs talk about the building of Conscious Tribes. Conscious Tribes, as described by Mark, are intentional communities we co-create without the need to move home – 'families of choice' – that weave people together emotionally, practically, and creatively in pursuit of shared meaning and resilience. Such communities offer a sense of belonging, adaptability, and hope that traditional structures often cannot. Together, we will explore the nuanced role and evolving nature of Conscious Tribes, their offline and online aspects, and their unique contributions to our uncertain future.

Amongst other things, we covered:
What is a 'Conscious Tribe'? Why are these emerging as an alternative to traditional family structures today?
What are the most profound benefits – emotionally and practically – of belonging to a Conscious Tribe?
What is the role of radical honesty for a Conscious Tribe and why do we struggle with it so much?
How do Conscious Tribes help individuals and communities to adapt to an uncertain and rapidly changing world?
What challenges arise when trying to weave new social fabrics across digital and physical boundaries, and how might these be addressed?
ABOUT OUR GUEST AND HOST
Mark Josephs lives alone and very simply, surrounded by the silence and beauty of nature in Northern Spain, while also being part of a local Conscious Tribe. Now 70 years old (and still full of creative energy!), he was born in London, lived for 10 years as a Hindu monk, and worked for more than 20 years as a psychotherapist – facilitating hundreds of workshops for men, mixed groups, and couples in England, Spain, and the United States. He is the author of seven books on self-awareness, gender, intimate relationships, and community development.
In 2018 Mark founded the Conscious Tribes Movement – an initiative dedicated to 'reinventing the extended family' by groups of friends uniting and committing to walk a life-path together based on 'Radical Honesty'. Radical Honesty is the recognition that each of us has only our own, limited, unique perspective (not The Absolute Truth!). Step by step, it invites us to live inside The Great Mystery, to connect with each other in deep intimacy, and to make new, practical lifestyle choices.
Nadjeschda Taranczewski is the founder of ConsciousU.
