What does living a more conscious life mean to you?

Maybe it includes cultivating more presence and awareness, freedom to make life-giving choices and to exercise self expression, response-ability to one’s environment and whatever is arising in it and mindfulness about the ripples you send out into the world?

Whatever your stage of self development or the state of your consciousness, living consciously is challenging. It raises some big questions and the answers are different for each of us.

Learning Communities

Participation in a learning community can be very helpful in providing a breathing space where you can reflect on your experience and explore with others themes which are vitally important to everyone involved. Deeper conversations can bring clarity and inspiration for finding real practical solutions to individual and shared dilemmas. They can take us beyond superficial differences, conflicts and divisions and into our richest shared humanity, altruism and collective Oneness.

Learning communities tend to operate better with a clear focus. The thought provoking subject matter of our conscious e-books lends itself to group dialogues and can help to build soulful community, profound learning and heart-felt connection with others. At A Whole New World we offer our conscious e-books to seed local learning communities or Soul Cells, and then connect these nationally and globally.

Here are some of the features of the kind of learning communities we are supporting. They are:

• Small enough so that everyone feels free to participate (no more than 12 people).
• Meet initially over a six month period to enable continuity and cohesiveness.
• The emphasis is different from a discussion group in that the purpose is to connect more deeply with self and with each other, to learn more about our common humanity and to learn to tolerate, enjoy and release the co-creative potential of our differences. 
• Each person’s contribution is equally important; we are all learners and teachers, and when we combine our individual perspectives, we discover larger, deeper truths.

Cultivating Presence

By cultivating states of presence and attentive listening, as in the heart sharing circles of New Zealand or the wisdom circles of Native Americans, we can discover points of intimate interconnection and use our differences to enrich and fertilize the ground of co-creativity from which new answers and inspiring actions will spring. The continuity of the group and the commitment to developing this deeper inquiry method builds a container in which the new soulful culture can grow.

Starting early in 2010 we are running a Special Pilot Programme focused on our e-book series A Conscious Life in combination with a monthly tele-class facilitated by Rose Diamond. We offer this in the UK, USA and NZ.

For this pilot programme only, the cost for the six monthly e-books and tele-classes is only £25 per month. If you convene a group of at least 8 people your programme is free and you will also be eligible to join a national catalysts group.
