What is conscious collective action? It is inspired by team dynamics that are rooted in integration, emergence and abundance. It's beautiful to see Ecovilla bringing these principles to life as a regenerative, purpose-inspired community takes form in San Mateo, Costa Rica. Marcelo Valansi Juan Barberis Integration: Can we see tension as an opportunity to integrate our shadows? When we do, then it becomes natural to fully welcome the diversity of personalities needed for any team to thrive. Emergence: Can we release centralized control? When we do, decentralized governance allows innovation to emerge from co-creation on the edges. Abundance: Can I contribute in a spirit of gift, in a way that vitalizes me, nourishes others and benefits the whole? When we do, we crowd in abundance in situations that might otherwise feel stuck in scarcity. Are you ready to activate the potential of conscious collective action?
