Gathering Soulful Community for Personal and Planetary Transformation
Welcome to Magnificent Being, the meeting place for people who are living their highest potential by creating a soulful life and a soulful world.

Can you feel a new consciousness flowing through you and the world, transforming everything in its path?

Even though you know in your heart these changes are potentially very positive, you’re aware the world as we have known it is melting and collapsing all around and inside us, and it’s challenging to ride the rollercoaster of change at times.

Like me, I’m sure your heart has been broken over the years, as you’ve watched the destruction of the natural world and the loss of life in wars that don’t make any sense to you. You may have felt you were trudging through a desert with no kindred souls in view. But somehow you’ve managed to keep the flame of possibility for a better world alive inside you; even when others turned away, you never let that flame be extinguished. Thank you, I love you for that!

Perhaps, you’ve carried a dream in your heart of the way we could live together in harmony with all beings on Earth. You may have already had a taste of peaceful and loving community and know how beautiful, and alive with meaning, life can be.

You may have found meaning in learning itself, as the understanding grew in you that we are changing the world from the inside out. Perhaps right now, you’re experiencing  a compelling need to free yourself to express and create more authentically and passionately.  Or, like me, you’re weaving a creative enterprise from your soul work, using your passion, experience, wisdom and longing.

Now, finally, after all this time, we change-makers and transformational catalysts are finding each other, and coming together in soulful communities. We are starting to understand that, what from one perspective appears to be a profound crisis in the world is the chance we’ve been waiting for our entire lives. As things fall apart there is a Great Awakening of consciousness spreading throughout the planet and it is time to co-create the kind of Whole New World we really want.

Imagine a world full of beauty in which every single person is respected for their unique gifts.

A world in which creativity and self expression are cherished.

A world where everyone feels at home, and has a home, nourishing food to eat, educational opportunities and valued work.

A world in which we live in harmony with all living creatures.

Where people aren’t judged for their color, accent, age or gender but diversity is highly valued.

A simplified world, without all the stress of industrialized living, yet with all the advances of science and technology.

A world where wealth is shared and everyone has enough.

A world without war in which all the money now spent on killing and destruction is used to support people to live their highest potential.

I’m sure you can imagine this and more, because somewhere in our cells we know what is possible and why we’re here now, gathering together, each one of us getting ready to play our unique part in the conscious co-creation of a New Story and a New Culture.

Staying awake and conscious means opening our hearts to the suffering on Earth, whilst at the same time staying empowered. When we know what we can do to make a difference and do it, no matter what, this sacred calling draws out and ignites all of who we are and can be.

Join us in spreading seeds of possibility, as we grow our soulful global community.

Magnificent Being is the companion site for A Whole New World,  a growing   global community for sharing the journey towards global unity and a world which is peaceful, harmonious, life giving, life renewing, co-operative, generous and abundant with possibilities and brilliance.

We are the co-creators of the New.

If you have found your way to this site, like us, you probably have a vision for a new world built from different values?  You’ve woken up to the fact that the world as we have known it is crumbling and it’s WE: YOU and ME, and ALL OF US TOGETHER, who are the co-creators of the new?

Perhaps you already have a sacred calling, a clear path as to who you need to be and what you can do to make a difference? Maybe you are part of a thriving grassroots project or just starting one? Or, perhaps like us, your work is global and mainly on the Internet, connecting the dots so that we can all see more clearly the bigger picture of what’s emerging?

As massive paradigm shifts rock the world, humanity is in a process of deathing and birthing, and the old culture based on the values of war, dominance, competition, greed, social injustice and destruction of Nature, is being deconstructed inside each conscious individual. More and more of us are unplugging our energy and attention from the bad news, to embrace instead the sense of emancipation, responsibility and challenge of evolving a way of living far more sustainable, co-operative, brilliant and healthy. As we release old patterns from our being so that we can connect more fully with the creative power of Source energy, we become channels for evolutionary intelligence to move through us and take form in a New Story for humanity.

One Global Community

A Whole New World is part of a growing global movement based on the realization of the essential interconnectedness of all Life and the potential for humanity to live in peace and harmony as One Global Community. It has been part of our own soul weaving for many years; we both opted to escape from mainstream society as much as we could back in the 80’s and set off on our soul journeys. For Rose, the seed for evolving transformational learning communities was received as a vision in 1995 and grew through hundreds of hours of creative work, until in 2006 it became a transformational learning community in New Zealand. In 2007 it evolved into “Living your Passion: How Love-in-action is seeding a Whole New World”, a book combining interviews with grassroots community leaders and transformational philosophy. Following this we felt called to build a global project and after many more hours of creative conversation and preparatory work, by the end of 2009 we had the website up. Now in May 2010, with a range of products and innovative programs under or belt, we’ve laid the foundations and we’re ready to start raising our global barn! And as you know a barn raising needs many hands!

A Resource for the Transition

A Whole New World is a resource for the transition towards a more peaceful, sustainable world. We are committed to:

Clarifying values and practices and living an inquiry into what it means to be models for conscious evolution and servant leadership.

The 8 Pillars of Transformation

INNER WORK /CONSCIOUSNESS PRACTICE

THE CREATIVE PROCESS

LIVING YOUR PASSION

CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIP

A LIVING INQUIRY

Through writing for this blog we are living an inquiry into how to invite and nurture a soulful life and how, by doing so we en-soul and re-enchant the world. We are excited at the prospect of connecting with you through our writings as we face common dilemmas and live our joys, passions and deepest longings.  We will do our best to write from a state of presence, listen and feel deeply and express truly, knowing we can reach beyond the little self into the collective consciousness and evolutionary intelligence, and become poets of the tribe.

Stay connected: We have new resources and programs coming on-line frequently, as well as regular blog posts, for news and updates, sign up to the A Whole New World mailing list in the box above.
