Building Community with Living Systems Principles

If you’re interested in developing an in-depth understanding of the social dynamics underpinning community life, Johnny is your guide.

This Masterclass Series was filmed at Molino de Guadalmesi, one of our Spain land partners. Molino de Guadalmesi was founded by Johnny and his partner Alicia. Johnny takes you on a passionate exploration of holistic community design deeply embedded in the principles of living systems. Understanding the four universal principles (purpose, structure, flow, and feedback) inherent to all living systems, helps inform highly effective community designs.  

Based on his own experience of living in community, Johnny offers holistic ways of seeing reality, overcoming differences, and understanding how we can best live together. You’ll discover innovative ways of managing resources, creating value through synergistic relationships, making food choices, and thinking about property ownership.  

Drawing from theoretical frameworks such as Spiral Dynamics, Integral Theory, and Gift Economies, Johnny offers simple exercises that help you and your group navigate, map and explore your life together.

Reversing Desertification with Permaculture

Emilio manages the Danyadara (‘Blessed Earth’) permaculture project in Andalusia, Spain. One of our land partners, Danyadara’s mission is to reverse desertification, using permaculture principles, and sustainable land management.

In this Masterclass Series, Emilio invites you to create a New Earth together, through the principles of permaculture. He shows us how to regenerate depleted soil, restore fertility and create life, using local and affordable techniques such as: decompacting compacted soil, using green manure, composting, and mulching.

Other permaculture wisdom you will attain includes: agroforestry, plant communities, seed production, growing crops, and medicinal plants.

Indigenous Ways to Societal Healing

In this Masterclass Series, Bruce Parry introduces you to the world of indigenous tribal culture. Two tribes especially are offering inspiring examples for the New Earth we wish to create. In these egalitarian cultures, competition, violence and hierarchy simply don’t exist.

Speaking at his home in Wales, UK, Bruce illustrates the core values that maintain a balanced society – at the heart of which is community, belonging, sharing, and the absence of powerplay. Women play a central role in maintaining this balance without excluding anyone. Embedded in these communities are profound healing rituals, which empower and re-connect people to themself, the earth and others. 

Through Bruce’s passion and direct experience you will gain insight into bringing about transition without fighting the old. You’ll hopefully be inspired by the wisdom of these cultures, and find your own unique way to contribute to the New Earth through creating harmonious culture.

Food for the Soul: Biodynamic Gardening

Let Hans-Günther take you on a journey into the realms of Biodynamic Gardening – and discover powerful dynamics through which micro and macro-cosmic influences affect your body and soul through the plants you eat.  

By integrating food production within the entire organism that is the Universe, we enter into a relationship with the cosmos, each other, and the Earth. 

In addition to cosmic influences on food production, Hans-Günther introduces you to the basics of working with the soil, compost, biodynamic preparations, sowing and planting. Filmed in West Lexham, one of our UK land partners, he concludes this enriching learning journey with a site assessment on the elements: air, water, and fire. 

Have fun experimenting, and enter into a rhythmic relationship with the environment once again.

Resolving Conflict through Mindful Communication

A New Earth calls for new ways of responding to yourself and others. In this Masterclass Series filmed in London, UK, Jayaraja introduces you to Mindful Communication. A skill set which facilitates the shift in consciousness and the evolution of relationships required for the New Earth we envision.

Fostering a world that is in service to life, starts with developing quality connections with ourselves and others, where everyone’s needs matter, and where everyone’s life force energy is valued.

You will learn simple yet powerful techniques to respond to your emotional needs, honour your life force energy, create safe spaces, and to use conflict as a pathway towards unity, through the creation of a shared reality.

Living in Sacredness with Ceremonial Practices

Garra rrana (Blue Dragonfly) guides you back to your divine essence. So you can remember your own unique mission for this life, and for the New Earth we wish to create together. 

Her Masterclass Series, filmed at Campfire Stories in the Netherlands, is a powerful initiation into deeply sacred, ancient practices, rituals and tools. These were passed on to her by a long lineage of African ancestors. 

You’ll learn how to prepare for ceremonies, through the use of sacred spaces, tools, altars, and libations. In addition, you’ll be introduced to rituals, meditations, prayers and affirmations, so you’ll be ready to hold your own ceremonies, guided and protected by your ancestors.

Rewilding Ourselves within the Natural World

Creating a New Earth together requires us to change our relationship with the natural world around us, and our understanding of what it is to be human. 

When we start to ask skillful questions, and to really perceive what is going on around us in the natural environment, we amplify the possibility for ancient and natural wisdom to grow within us. 

Working with the healing properties of plants and trees, can additionally empower you in your relationship with yourself, with others and the environment around you. 

With his authentic way of speaking and beautiful storytelling, Thomas takes you on a heartening journey. You will gain new insights and skills that will help restore the forgotten wildness of your humanity. 

These masterclasses are filmed in East Sussex, UK, on the land that has been under Thomas’s regenerative protection for many years.

New Earth Ways of Living and Being

Creating a New Earth together requires deep inner shifts. In this Masterclass Series, filmed near Sintra in Portugal, you are invited to make space for powerful questions: 

What is a New Earth? What does genuine connection with nature look like? What is my true self and how does this translate into purpose? Am I living in balance? If not, how can I restore it? What is the mental programming that rules my life and how can I shift it towards a life I dream of? 

What are the tools that can support me to live in coherence and alignment with a new earth lifestyle? What are the qualities of a new earth culture and how to create new earth cultures? 

Karen brings clarity, spaciousness and inspiration to all these questions, offering us transformational tools and perspectives.

Wisdom Tools for the Journey of Self-Leadership

This Masterclass Series invites you to take yourself seriously. Start sharing your gifts with the world, wherever you are in your development. With great compassion, Mac demonstrates that self-leadership entails a relationship between inner healing and outer action. 

You’ll receive valuable tools to help find your gifts by facing your shadows, and are urged to simply start sharing that gift with the world. A New Earth needs all of us participating. 

In addition, this series offers insights on how to find your truth through reconnecting to nature. How to embrace both the suffering and the joy in the world; on finding your own indigenous wisdom and reconnecting to the magic of life; and on how to be right here, right now.
This series was filmed at eco-retreat centre Embercombe in the UK. Embercombe was founded by Mac over twenty years ago, and is one of our UK land partners. You can look forward to intimate storytelling, and powerful guidance on self-leadership.

Initiatory Processes for the Possibility of Evolution

In this Masterclass Series, Anne-Chloé brings clarity to the grievances of current modern culture. She leads us through possibilities of evolution from an individual, relational and planetary perspective, offering tools for us to live our full potential.

On an individual level, it is necessary to take full responsibility for our state of being, to gain new distinctions, become friends with our emotions, heal from past wounds, and own our path. This is part of adulthood initiation, which in modern culture is missing and for which Anne-Chloé offers a path of evolution. 

A new culture is emerging – ArchiArchy, New Earth – from individuals following their path of evolution. In the context of this new culture, the space of possibility in the context of relationship is opened. Relationships, relating, and intimacy, may reach greater capacity and awareness. 

From adult and archetypal intimacy levels, Gaian Game Worlds can be created. They are consciousness in action that serve Gaia, the New Earth. We are all called to create our own Gaian Game Worlds, as well as to participate and collaborate in existing ones. 

These Masterclasses were filmed in Mafra, Portugal, in the Values University. They stand for a new model of Holistic Education of the individual in harmony with Nature, towards new global paradigms of living.

New Earth Pathway

Welcome to Your New Earth Pathway

Your journey to a greater way of life that ushers in a New Earth starts here!

Whether you are already on your path, or newly discovering it, you can expect to evolve, learn new skills, create new impacts, and gain deeper confidence, in each of the three major dimensions of transformation: Self, Relational, Environment.

We are excited to join you on the adventure of your New Earth Pathway, and support the kind of changemaker that you already are in your heart!

An evolutionary program

We believe that what each of us most needs for our own healing and the healing of the world is already inside of us. This is why our program is highly participatory and experiential, where each of you is invited to fully own your journey, bring your uniqueness and wisdom, as well as be open to the gifts that others will bring.

What each of you will get out of this journey will highly depend on how much you want to engage with it. The program is designed for each of you to take self-responsibility for your own learning. We encourage you to take active participation in all the spaces we are providing and take longer time in those areas where you see more potential for transformation and growth.

The components within the program will support your learning journey by empowering your expansion goal in each of three phases, deepening your process of transformation, helping you to discover blindspots, build community, and learn new skills.

Together with the experiential components, your own enquiry & journaling practice are key to your transformation. We will email additional journaling prompts to support you in the unfoldment of your evolutionary pathway.
