A New Paradigm

What could our world be like

with more

cooperation, collaboration and community?

Create positive change

What would it look like if over the course of human history we had made different decisions about how we live? That, instead  we evolved our human genius in harmony with nature.

In our search to dominate and exploit nature’s bounty, does it seem to you that we are mirroring our impact on the natural world within our very own human ecosystem and society?  Destabilising the living web of life; a phenomenal infrastructure of interdependence and enhancement that is beyond our current comprehension, we have taken the path to reducing our dependence to a recent interpretation of human needs. A system that is scrambling to adapt to unprecedented climate challenges, is leaving many people struggling to meet the demands of each day, that toxifies our world and our bodies and is more destructive than constructive.

We believe we are more than this!

And that if we learn to cooperate, collaborate and create community we can do much together.

Cooperation

  • Consentio - the root derivative of consensus is to feel together… not to lose oneself, but rather to be able to feel where the other person is coming from. To be able to go beyond needing others to think like we do and to able to hear another’s point of view is the first step to cooperation

Collaboration

Collaboration requires a common vision, goal or outcome. It is built of and builds respect, trust and openness. For most of us we need to rewire in these inherent skills when collaborating. Skills that are in our primal hardwiring, but have been shortcut and may lay bypassed in our daily repertoire.
