Updated: 2 days ago

CONSCIOUS RELATING TRIBES A New Extended Family. Presence, Intimacy, Nature, Sovereignty. Combining Personal & Social Transformation. The Path of Conscious Relating.
THE PROPOSAL
(previously ´The Manifesto´)
1. A New, Foundational Social Structure
The cultivation of spiritual, psychological and emotional awareness is something wonderful – and not enough.
So many of us are stressed and exhausted because the structures of society
keep us individualised, alienated from nature, and absorbed in superficiality.
As well as cultuvating awareness,
we have to change the way society is structured.
The Conscious Relating Tribe
is a new, foundational social structure:
a committed, extended Family of Choice
united on The Path of Conscious Relating.
2. Totality & Subjectivity
The Conscious Relating Tribe is based on a specific intuition:
Totality & Subjectivity -
that we are all part of The Totality
and we all experience life uniquely, limitedly, subjectively:
“we are all Unique Expressions of The Great Mystery of Existence”.
3. The Path of Conscious Relating
The members of a Conscious Relating Tribe learn to live and relate
as Unique Expressions of The Great Mystery.
They walk The Path of Consious Relating together -
a lifelong, shared learning path.
This gradually fills their hearts with trust and tenderness,
and their bodies with the pleasure of presence.
4. A More Sovereign, Natural Lifestyle
The members of a Conscious Relating Tribe don´t only support each other
in surviving the disassociated, urban-industrial, digital, global culture -
they also support each other in moving towards
more sovereign, natural, communal ways of life.
This is not a precept, but a consequence that flows
from listening to life, and feeling life, and responding nakedly to life.
5. Locality
The members of a Conscious Relating Tribe do not need to
all live in the same building, or buy land together.
Nobody needs to move home.
They just need to meet regularly.
When everyone lives in the same area or town, or the same part of the city,
the full potential of The Conscious Relating Tribe
as a new, foundational social structure can begin to evolve.
Conscious Relating Tribes can also flourish online,
or semi-online (meeting up physically from time to time).
