Why is The Experience of We?

We’ve all felt it—a quiet ache, an underlying sense that something’s not quite right. Maybe it’s the heaviness in our chest when we see a forest torn down, the unease about where this world is headed, the indignation as we watch the human and non-human suffering, or the disorientation as the stories we once trusted unravel.

This is the Polycrisis touching us—not just one problem, but a tangle of them: ecosystems crumbling, wealth gaps widening, communities fraying, politics faltering. These crises don’t sit alone; they amplify each other, pushing our collective systems to their limits.

Within the context of The Experience of We, the Polycrisis isn’t just a series of external problems; it’s also a deeply felt internal state of overwhelm, fragmentation, and relational disconnect. At first glance, the root cause might seem to be inequality, political dysfunction, or environmental mismanagement. But if we dig deeper, we discover the Metacrisis lurking beneath the surface.

Technically, the Metacrisis is a crisis of meaning-making—a loss of trust in the stories and frameworks we've relied on to make sense of life. But emotionally, it’s the existential ache, the isolation, confusion, or despair we experience when the world no longer makes sense. The Polycrisis and Metacrisis are intimately connected, and together they reveal something deeper: The Experience of Separation.

Long ago, we walked gently with the Sacred Foundation, our lives entwined with Momma Earth’s rhythms. But there came a time when we reached beyond her gifts, taking more than she could renew. This ecological overshoot stirred a quiet fear—scarcity whispered, and we listened. From tribal wanderers, we turned to fields and fences, then to empires and machines, each step driven by a need to control what we feared we’d lose. That fear birthed domination within our cultures, a turning away from the circle of We to the fortress of me. Survival, once held in community, became a solitary burden.

And so, a cycle took root. We began to draw harshly from Momma Earth—tearing at her soil, her waters—because we’d lost the deeper nourishment of each other. Our relationships grew thin, fragile, shaped by need rather than reverence. Even now, as technology empowers us to create this very thought system, it also amplifies the rift, offering hollow echoes of connection while we pull ever more from the Sacred Foundation to soothe our longing.

The cost? Fragmented bonds, a hunger in our bones for what we’ve forgotten—love, resonance, belonging. It’s a self-reinforcing feedback loop: the more disconnected we become, the more we rely on extractive coping mechanisms just to keep calm, and the less able we are to sense and respond to the consequences of our actions —  which further intensifies our crises.

This Separation is not just theoretical—it’s a deeply embodied reality, passed down through generation upon generation of dysregulated nervous systems and behavioral patterns of extraction — from each other, and from the Sacred Foundation.

To break free from this loop, we must intentionally shift our consciousness towards syntropy—a state characterized by dynamic coherence, meaningful connection, and regeneration.

That’s why The Experience of We exists.

The Experience of We offers a stabilizing reference point—a coherent relational framework designed to recalibrate our consciousness. It contains embodied practices, relational rituals, cognitive tools, and experiential processes that guide us away from Separation and towards an embodied state of interconnection we call We Consciousness.

Within this framework, our relationships with ourselves, each other, and the living world around us become increasingly attuned, regenerative, and life-affirming. But let’s be clear: shifting from Separation to We Consciousness requires devotion. It's not always easy; it often goes against the grain of our local culture, conditioning, and environment. It’s an upfront energetic investment, asking us to choose consciously, repeatedly, and relationally. Yet, once integrated, it becomes profoundly energy-efficient, grounding us deeply in relationships that sustain us, nourish us, and reconnect us to our larger ecological family.

Central to this framework is the wisdom of the 7 Generations Principle, which invites us to consider the long-term impact of our choices. Imagine the possibilities: groups of people who share The Experience of We, consciously weaving a collective field of dynamic relational coherence, regenerating our ecosystems, restoring trust, and fostering deep resilience for generations yet unborn.

What could we co-create from a place of genuine interconnectedness? Let’s find out together.
