According to a recent survey by Pew Research Forum, over a quarter of Americans now consider themselves to be “spiritual but not religious,” which is an 8% increase from the last time the study was conducted 5 years ago. This data makes sense of what a lot of us are experiencing in our own lives. Traditional approaches to spirituality are less and less appealing, but the call of spirit is still active within us. Even as so much of the world seems to be trending toward the secular, spirituality just won’t seem to go away. In this episode of Evolutionary Collective Conversations, Patricia Albere will explore why spirituality is still relevant in today’s world, how it’s changing, and where the whole notion of spirituality is headed in the future.

Spirituality Matters

Katie Hendricks

When it comes to the increasingly popular field of “conscious” relationships, there may not be two more experienced individuals than Katie Hendricks and Patricia Albere. Hendricks has been a pioneer in the field of conscious loving for over 40 years and has published multiple bestsellers on the topic, including her latest Conscious Loving Ever After. Albere is a pioneering spiritual teacher who has developed a practice called “Mutual Awakening” in which individuals meet and relate from a place of non-separation. Two approaches to relationships, both conscious, both powerfully transformative.

In what promises to be a dynamic and fruitful dialogue between two relationship experts, Albere and Hendricks will explore what new possibilities each are discovering in the field of relatedness. Just like technology is evolving at rapid speeds, so are the ways in which we relate to each other and the foundational consciousness that we share. Albere and Hendricks will survey and our current landscape of relatedness and peer forward, exploring what might be the relationship designs of the future.

Katie Hendricks: What is a Conscious Relationship?

Whenever Jeff Salzman and Patricia Albere get together, spiritual and philosophical sparks fly. Drawing on Salzman’s penchant for applying integral consciousness to our modern social and political landscape and Albere’s profound transmission of the “higher we”, their dialogues have explored everything from the changing role of spiritual leadership in “intersubjective age” to how conscious people should respond to Trump’s presidency, never ceasing to push their way into new terrains of consciousness and insight.
On August 8th, these two evolutionary pioneers will turn their attention to Albere’s new book, EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS: Releasing the Power of Mutual Awakening, due out in September. As Salzman describes the book:
“Patricia Albere has been conducting basic research into what it is to evolve in mutuality other people. This book is a report from the frontiers of her explorations. What she has discovered is that love is not just an emotion but an evolutionary force, a force that drives all the fragments of the universe – including us – toward greater connection and wholeness.”
In this special dialogue, Salzman and Albere will take a deep dive into the consciousness that this book was born out of. . . exploring the new potentials for mutuality, wholeness, and evolutionary love.

Love Is An Evolutionary Force

At our moment in history it is becoming more and more apparent to many of us that we need a new understanding of who we are and what our role is in the universe—one that is informed by a deep sense of unity and connection to the evolutionary process that has brought us to this moment. As Duane Elgin writes in his latest book, “The most urgent challenge facing humanity is not climate change, or species extinction, or unsustainable population growth; rather, it is how we understand the Universe and our intimate relationship within it.”
In this conversation between two of today’s leading evolutionary thinkers, Elgin and Albere will explore this new sense of “Bio-Cosmic Identity”—what it is, how it manifests, and what are the obstacles to it’s further emergence in today’s world.

Our Bio-Cosmic Identity

Join Patricia Albere for an intimate exploration of her recent journey with cancer and the miracles that occurred as her individual journey was held inside the larger consciousness of the Evolutionary Collective. Discover what ‘issueless-ness’ is and how we as individuals can be profoundly affected by this greater shared field of awakening and connection.

During this interview, Albere will expose a new and powerful possibility for meeting life’s challenges. Please join for what promises to be a profound conversation on Tuesday, May 9th at 11 AM – 12 PM Pacific Time on http://evolutionarycollective.com/conversations/cancer-issuelessness/.

Cancer, 'Issueless-ness' & Bad Hair Days

Katherine Woodward Thomas

Patricia Albere and author Katherine Woodward Thomas, author of “Calling In The One” and “Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After”, bring their depth of relational experience and expertise into new perspectives about what allows for and inspires higher expressions of evolutionary love.

KATHERINE WOODWARD THOMAS – HIGHER LOVE

Join Patricia Albere and Daniel Schmactenberger, cofounder of the Neurohacker Collective as they explore how civilization is currently emerging. We know that what we call human civilization currently is radically unsustainable, exponentially accelerating, and unavoidably heading for some kind of fundamental shift. Shift to what, and how, are big questions.
What does a viable civilization with our current and future levels of technology look like? And how do we get there?

A WHOLE SYSTEMS PERSPECTIVE ON CIVILIZATION EMERGING

“Blessed are the weird people – poets, misfits, writers, heretics, painters and troubadours – for they teach us to see the world through different eyes.”  —Jacob Nordby
Join Patricia Albere and Jacob Nordby, author of Blessed Are the Weird – A Manifesto for Creatives, as they explore the completely unique, fascinating, and fraught era on Earth in which we are now living. For those with the eyes to see it, it’s clear that even in the midst of our current challenges and polarization, we are on the precipice of a world of incredible new possibilities.
Who are the outliers, the creatives, the ‘weird’ ones who are needed to usher in this new era? Is it possible that a new kind of ‘belonging’ is coming into existence where the visionary misfits who have always worked alone on the fringes are now being called upon to unite to create this new world?

“BLESSED ARE THE WEIRD” – VISIONARIES OF THE COMING REALITY

Join Patricia Albere and author Carl Johan Calleman, PhD as they discuss his latest book: “The Nine Waves of Creation – Quantum Physics, Holographic Evolution and the Destiny of Humanity”. They will explore how the evolution of the universe, including that of humanity and our own planet, is directly a function of the nine waves of creation described by the Mayan calendar. These waves determine the potentialities of the future as well as of the past and provide our main guide to the future.
For the first time in human history all nine waves of creation are active and can be downloaded by human beings. The ninth and highest of these waves is the one bringing unity consciousness to those in resonance with it.
How can we align with this wave and what spiritual practices are available to bring us into resonance with higher orders of unity?

The 9 Waves of Creation

In his most recently released book, “The Divine Dance: The Trinity and Your Transformation”, globally recognized ecumenical teacher Fr. Richard Rohr describes God as relationship itself, and shares the true roots of the early Christian trinity was an unending circle of giving and receiving between Father, Son and Spirit. 
In this Evolutionary Collective Conversation, Fr. Richard and Evolutionary Collective Founder Patricia Albere will explore the current spiritual paradigm shift through the lens of the Trinity, inquiring into how the Trinity illuminates the deeper nature of God and how we, as human beings, can enter into communion with the Divine and with each other. They will also discuss what the ‘Law of Three’ is, and how the three forces work. 
What is the rhythm of this New Creation, and how is it inviting us to join in the Divine Dance? Find out in what promises to be a rich conversation.

EXPLORING THE DIVINE DANCE – THE LAW OF THREE & A NEW SPIRITUAL PARADIGM

Evolutionary Collective Conversations is reaching an ever-growing audience of all ages, ready for what is emerging in collective consciousness, a new evolutionary wave helping us to discover & experience unity, creativity, and infinite possibilities for living from connectivity and oneness.
Our format is unique - we combine what is cutting-edge & inspiring for the featured guest with Patricia's expertise to create a co-creative dialogue.

A leader brings forth a future that wouldn’t have come into existence otherwise and inspires others to live into that vision. There is a new model of leadership, success, and power emerging on the planet – one more aligned with our deepest values and highest wisdom, and available for the evolutionary impulse to create and lead through.
In this conversation, transformational leader and co-creator of the Shift Network’s Leadership Academy Sherri Lassila will join with Evolutionary Collective Founder Patricia Albere to explore what leadership looks like from the new consciousness of “shared unity”. What would it mean to lead from a paradigm of non-separation and a deep knowing of our essential interconnectedness? And how can we each live and lead as an embodiment of the evolutionary impulse, or “optimizing force”, in service to and partnership with the creative forces of existence?
Join Patricia Albere and Sherri Lassila in what promises to be an exciting discussion of the key distinctions and core shifts to fully embody this new paradigm of evolutionary leadership.

EVOLUTIONARY LEADERSHIP IN THE NEW PARADIGM

DEMAND – a forceful statement in which you say that something must be done or given to you; a strong need for something; something claimed as due; a seeking or state of being sought after; urgent need.
CALLING FORTH – to call to someone to come out or come forward; to draw a particular quality or induce a particular behavior.
In the last several decades, many of us have worked hard (and are still working) to learn love unconditionally, without attachments or expectations. We’ve practiced acceptance, trying not to push others (or ourselves) not to be anywhere they’re not. And although these things are important and need to be included, is there a kind of love, a way of being together that WANTS and DEMANDS the fullest realization of the other? A love that calls forth their innate goodness, truth, and beauty to be unleashed into the world…
What is this kind love? How do we truly embody it without crossing over into selfishness or hidden egoic strategies? What possibility can this kind of love unleash for collectives, humanity, and the world? For insights into these questions and more, join Evolutionary Collective Founder, Patricia Albere on Valentine’s Day

Love as a Demand, As Calling Forth

More than half the country woke up shocked in November when Donald Trump won the election. How could this have happened? Shadow, unconscious forces deeper that rational analysis, acted collectively on enough Americans to create a choice that will probably be most disastrous to those who voted for the president elect.
Dr. Keith Witt, author of Shadow Light: Illuminations at the Edge of Darkness, will explore with Patricia how all of us are individually and collectively influenced by constructive and destructive Shadow material constantly being generated by our adaptive unconscious selves. To the extent we are not aware of these influences, we are vulnerable to turning away from constructive and indulging destructive Shadow impulses and beliefs.

Along those lines, to many shocked by the election and subsequent events, Shadow material has been activated, often generating anger, fear, depression , and confusion.

Dr. Keith and Patricia will discuss all these areas, and explore ways of metabolizing current events and using this moment in history as an opportunity to wake up to some of the Shadow forces that are affecting us in the United States and others elsewhere around the world.

REVEALING THE NATIONAL SHADOW or “DEMOCRAZY”

“Commitment is a kind of surrender.  We allow ourselves to be shaped by what we are committed to until we become one with it.” -Patricia Albere
Lynne Twist is author of the best-selling book “The Soul of Money” and co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance. In this conversation with Patricia Albere, Evolutionary Collective founder, Patricia and Lynne will explore the evolutionary force of commitment, and how true and lasting change can be created in the world and our personal lives through the seemingly simple act of taking a stand.
In this conversation, Lynne will share how commitment has shaped her life, her choices and her very understanding of the world. She and Patricia will explore how taking a stand is distinct from taking a position, and how the commitments they have made have freed them both to live an extraordinary lives. Join in to hear two revolutionary women share an inspiring stance on how to enact real transformation.

LYNNE TWIST: LIVING A COMMITTED LIFE – The Power of Taking A Stand

In April of this year, Patricia Albere and Jeff Salzman, Integral teacher, evolutionary, and founder of the Daily Evolver and Boulder Integral, discussed the American Political scene and “the craziest presidential election in memory” from an Integral perspective. In the wake of this election and what was, for the majority of us, it’s stunning outcome, Patricia and Jeff will look address these important and impactful perspectives:
Should we “give Trump a chance,” and what would that even mean?
Who are Trump’s supporters, and how do dissolve the divide?
What does the election tell us about the state of the national collective?
What is the evolutionary potency of Trump?
By taking a larger view on current political and global events, we can also start to understand what it might really mean to continue to stand for the values we hold dear as evolutionaries and bearers of a new paradigm.

Give Trump A Chance???

As we enter into Shared Unity within the Evolutionary Collective, we find ourselves inside of the post-instinctual enlightenment drive together, inside the evolutionary impulse itself.  
In Shared Unitive consciousness, we discover that power and love aren’t separate, and can never be separate.  Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”  Join Patricia Albere, founder of the Evolutionary Collective and Dr. Toni Monsey as they explore, from within unitive consciousness, how power and love are revealing themselves.

Power and Love from within Shared Unitive Consciousness

An electronic web now surrounds our planet. Our ideas travel instantaneously to all points of the globe on electromagnetic waves and pulses of light. Communications networks have advanced from wires to fiber optics, from interconnected radio and television grids to a world of billions of wirelessly communicating sensory devices. Emerging from what French philosopher-priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin called the shared “noosphere” of collective human thought, the Infosphere is now a field that engulfs our physical, mental, and etheric bodies.


As we are discovering, the electronic media amplify, distort and attenuate our senses, change our awareness, and “mediate” our experiences. But from an integral perspective, we know that the relationship between consciousness and media works in both directions: technology is not an external force that appear out of nowhere to affect our consciousness, it is also a product and reflection of our evolving consciousness. Evolutionary Collective Founder Patricia Albere and Steven Vedro, author of “Digital Dharma”, will discuss the developmental metaphors of light and shadow in our addiction to our smartphones and social networks, the impossibility of finding the truth over the internet, and the glimpses of “whole field awareness” that are inherent in our emerging “cloud consciousness.”

EVOLVING CONSCIOUSNESS MEETS THE INFOSPHERE

The consciousness of evolutionary unity develops through a dynamic, emergent system of shared symmetry. The logos of the consciousness embodied in the Evolutionary Collective is revealing itself through what Patricia Albere, founder of the Evolutionary Collective, describes as the “Geometry of Unity.” In this conversation between Patricia Albere and Dr. Genét Simone, they will discuss the elements that activate this consciousness and allow it to grow and develop.
During this series, we will inquire into and reveal different facets of the Geometry of Unity. Topics will include: alignment, resonance, sensitivity to entropic or synergistic energies, exploration of the Omega and Origination Points, multi-dimensional consciousness, and more…
Discover the crucial elements that activate and sustain this flourishing Evolutionary Consciousness…

Geometry of Unity Part II – Activation

Shared Unity is a dynamic, emergent system that has an expanding and evolving symmetry. This consciousness continues to reveal itself as a Geometry of Unity through our work in the Evolutionary Collective. The logos of the consciousness embodied in the Evolutionary Collective is revealing itself through what Patricia Albere, founder of the Evolutionary Collective, is describing as the “Geometry of Unity.” In this conversation between Patricia Albere and Evolutionary Collective Programs Manager Kyle Buckley, Patricia will share in depth about the formation of this work, and the emergence that is a central component of its original and unique design.
 
In this series, we will be inquiring into and revealing different facets of the Geometry of Unity. Topics will include: alignment, resonance, sensitivity to entropic or synergistic energies, exploration of the Omega and Origination Points, multi-dimensional consciousness, and more…
 
Come discover the crucial elements of this flourishing Evolutionary Consciousness…

Geometry of Unity Part I - The Design of Emergence

Reverend Jim Lee and Lisa Lee have been holding an evolutionary vision for the Renaissance Unity Church in Detroit, MI. In this conversation with Evolutionary Collective founder Patricia Albere, they will explore the “reality of oneness” and how to gain direct access to the mystical dimensions of consciousness — not just as a solo practitioner, but as a group or congregation.
Together, the three will inquire into the trajectory and future of the New Thought Movement — its mission and greater alignment with the awakening of a new paradigm of unity.
