When a system is far from equilibrium, small islands of coherence have the capacity to shift the entire system.”

Our Mission is to work — and support others in working — at our mutual collective edge, to facilitate the evolution of human consciousness in service of anti-fragility, awareness, and love.

Transformational Learning

  • The Systems Within

    Starts January 21, 2025

    Illuminating the Personal, Ancestral, and Systemic Voices Inside to become a Clear Vessel.

    The intention of the program is to become aware of the systems within you and the systems of which you are a part (those in which you have a place), to notice how these systems can “run” you, at times even compromising your success; at the same time, to see the ways in which they bring you strength.

    Our goal will be to Integrate these inner parts, to see them clearly, to heal, surrender to and accept them, and therefore to no longer be run by them, while at the same time owning their strength. This process enables you to transcend to a new expression, differentiated from the past, an expression of the free self and individual destiny.

  • The Dragons of Transformation

    In progress - next one in Spring 2025

    Taming the Mindsets that thwart our embrace of a VUCA world

    When people tell you to “think outside the box,” they don’t tell you where the box ends and the future begins. That is why we find ourselves so often trapped in our own blind spots and assumptions, driven by our ordinary worldviews.

    The nonlinear sciences—complexity and chaos, as well as Integral theory—shine a light on those dark corners of reality and the habits of mind that keep us stuck. In ancient times, maps of the world would show sea monsters and dragons outside the bounds of the known world. That’s why in this program we call such mind-blowing (and habitually intractable) realities “dragons”

  • The human diamond model

    The Human Diamond - Growing Up

    TBD

    An Experiential Journey through the Spiral of Human Development

    What is the true meaning of “self-development”? Are there specific stages of development that we all pass through?

    The Diamond Model – a deceptively simple framework that draws on modern physics, Integral Theory and the world’s great spiritual traditions – shines a light on the fundamental structure of reality, allowing us to uncover the different aspects of what it is to be fully human.

Envisioning a new way is never easy.

Over time, we have come to hear the call ever more clearly, that we must work at the Collective Edge — that place that stretches all of us because it uncovers what we need. In the current circumstance, The Collective Edge has needed to become truly global. The big question is how we respond.

Forging New Pathways

The collaborators of The Collective Edge are innovators and thought leaders. Our musings, classes, and consulting forge paths for those who seek to help people and organizations move into the greater capacities being called for in this turbulent time.
