Meet the Expanding Consciousness Collective

Three alumni of the 2016 Shift Leadership Academy co-founded a virtual community called the Expanding Consciousness Collective, bringing people together to support one another in taking conscious action in the world. The Collective's purpose is to inspire, educate, motivate, facilitate, co-create and invite people of all ages, genders, and cultures who care about their families, their communities, their nation, and our world, and who want to contribute to a harmonious, sustainable planet.

Among the Collective’s values is to speak clearly, listen deeply, treat one another respectfully, and share our joy, ideas, hopes, concerns, sorrows, and celebrations.

Here are testimonials from a few of the community members:

I loved the focus on participation from the attendees. So many webinars are lecture style and that is not conducive for expanding one's consciousness. The model itself was an aha! I am going to be more aware in my own webinars and presentations to encourage the participation of the attendees.

Each person who shared had something really beautiful to bring us to our heart centers and connect with Gaia and All That Is, and I feel inspired to consider how I might contribute to the healing of the planet.

I enjoyed the heart breathing session and have adopted that practice into my daily meditation. I find that it deepens my concentration much more than simply following my breath. One of my favorite meditations is to shift my consciousness behind my heart into an imaginary place that is vast and open where nothing exists but space. I shrink myself into a very small being and visualize myself sitting in that space — sometimes I dance and spin like a ballerina in that space. I have found that the heart breathing is the perfect complement to my practice — I get there much faster.
