Understanding The Nature of Transformation

All our experiences are underpinned by 4 Pillars that we believe sit at the core of transformation.

[Perspective Shift] 

Through safety, wisdom-making and experience sharing, we create the perspective shift necessary to reimagine/rediscover your potential.

 

[Lived Experience] 

To have a lived experience is to make connections between your logic & feeling, physical & intuitive aspects of Self - enabling you to embody new thinking and behaviours. We provide the spaces, wisdom-making & experiential practices to draw tangible lines between known and unknown. 

 

[Awareness of Self] 

Your ability to connect with your tribe depends on the depth of your ability to connect with yourself. By meeting deeper parts of yourself, you can meet deeper layers of others.

 

[Awareness of Environment] 

After laying the internal groundwork of Self, your vision and impact flows naturally from the inside, out. You now have a new compass to navigate the ever-evolving external circumstances in the future of work and life.

Individual Transformation

Deep self reflection, inquiry and discovery

​

The intent of this pathway is to create  alignment and connection between brain and heart cognition.

  

On this pathway, participants undergo individual experiences to more deeply understand themselves and unlock greater physical, mental and emotional capacity to contribute to the tribe. In many indigenous cultures, members of tribes undergo a series of  individual quests and initiations for the purpose of self-mastery.  


Through these experiences individuals truly “meet” themselves, learn more about how they show up and deepen their bond to their tribe. In this way we work with modern day tribes to help them shed unhelpful individualistic mindsets, patterns and behaviours and re-connect them to their unique human value proposition [UHVP] and processes that ultimately drives the transformation of self.

Collective Wisdom

Cultivating tribal senses, resources and wisdom-making to show up more for people, purpose, place and planet

​

The intent of this pathway is to help tribes cultivate and channel your tribe's collective powers & unique human value proposition to create immediate changes and impacts. 

 

Ancient wisdom tells us that all living things are connected. 

 

Tribes  have unique advantages when it comes to sensing the shifts in these connections and can therefore adapt more readily. This is because they have an inherent understanding about how their collective senses and shared resources can be utilised for the common good of all and are so connected to this aspect of themselves they can access it across space, time and boundaries. 

 

In this way, we work with modern-day tribes to harness their collective senses, resources and wisdom to hone their ability to perform and connect across environments - physical, virtual, hybrid.  Through these experiences, tribes build their capacity for adaptability, adoptability and innovation, strengthening their capacity to perform and grow as a collective..

Collective Transformation

Establishing and maturing tribal bonds with people, purpose, place and planet. 

​

The intent of this pathway is to help tribes re-establish and mature their bonds through collective exploration, challenges and experiences.

 

Ancient wisdom and modern science tells us that our unique human value proposition amplifies exponentially when we learn how to work together. 

 

Unlike teams, tribes are not collections of individuals, they become something entirely new as morph into a collective, living ecosystem. When humans deeply understand themselves,  each other and the more-than-human that connects everything in our world together; they reach new heights that could not be achieved alone 

 

In this way, we work with modern-day tribes to deepen their bonds with each other, become a fully cohesive collective through alignment around purpose and values and their connections to environments, resources and communities.

Collective TRUST

Cultivating a new relationship with meaning and value. Leaning into edges. Deepening discernment, sense-making, wisdom-keeping. Defining Eldership. 

​

The purpose of this pathway is to recognise the significant and unique role leaders play in the overall success of their modern-day tribes and to support them in that role.

 

Ancient wisdom gives us many lessons on leadership, showing us how leadership isn't just about reaching a destination, but about being an example of continuously pushing one's limits, embracing challenges, and propelling oneself toward higher levels of achievement. It's a call to foster innovation, inspire teams, and redefine what's possible by venturing beyond familiar boundaries to ensure the ongoing success of the collective.

When leaders value their own ongoing relationship with growth & accountability and show vulnerability, admit mistakes, and value diverse perspectives; they cultivate an environment where trust [and therefore tribes] can thrive. Their ability to communicate a compelling vision and align individual efforts with a shared purpose bolsters a sense of unity, further solidifying the foundation of trust. 

​

In this way, we  support leaders in being the catalysts for building bridges of understanding and cooperation among team members, making collective trust not only achievable but a driving force behind sustained success.

​

Paths

​

This pathway builds the capacity for leaders to inspire & support their tribes and can include:

 

  • Self-Mastery & Self-Regulation

  • Armour & Shadow work

  • Eldership vs Leadership

  • Capacity & Well-being

  • Threshold Crossing & Rites of Passage

  • The s/hero's journey

  • The Power of Storytelling

  • Navigating Unknown Unknowns

✓    On-site Workshops

✓    Nature Based Experiences

✓    Multi-Day Retreats

Collective ACTION

Re-imagining futures and new realities for people, purpose, place, planet & profit

​

The intent of this pathway is to help tribes to expand their perspective of future possibilities and unlock creativity, innovation and imagination. 

 

For many tribes who practice the ancient ways, their entire philosophy for existence is based around understanding the cycles and patterns found in the more-than-human world and how interconnected they all are. The rise and fall of the sun and moon, the ebb and flow of tides, the four elements, the four directions and the four seasons are honored and respected for their  connectedness to all living things and their collective power that makes all things on Earth possible. 

 

In this way, we work with modern-day tribes to help them identify and develop the components of their culture, teams and process to identify and nurture their own internal & collective forces of nature. 

 

We facilitate teams through collective strategy & design processes to turn their ideas into inspired, purpose fuelled actions and create the psychology needed to execute and achieve impact for the collective good, together.

​

​

This pathway builds the capacity for future-casting, collective strategy, visioning and  collective impact and can include:

Tribal Council

​

Over the journey of tribal transformation, teams will be encouraged to participate in ‘Tribal Council’.

​

Tribal Council is the central mechanism that establishes healthy boundaries, behaviours and interactions between the tribal community.  Members learn to think, sense, share, feel, explore, grow and imagine together.

 

In Tribal Council, members learn to interoperate without hierarchy, following tribal principles and collaborative design techniques to co-think, co-learn, co-sense and co-create together.

The reflection

​

At the end of each pathway, teams will retrace the steps of their journey and reflect on personal and collective milestones and what they did to overcome obstacles or create shifts in perspective to get them there.

 

Teams will think, sense, share and feel together as they learn deeply about the ripples of their collective actions that span space, time and boundaries and consider the opportunities that lie ahead to further mature connections between people for purpose, place and our planet.
