Seven Foundational Qualities Community

The Seven Foundational Qualities Community is a nine-month formation community focused on exploring recent insights into the nature of the New Story—insights that point toward a different way of being with one another, the Earth, and the Sacred.

These qualities emerged through the broader work of the New Story Community and are offered here as a space for reflection, practice, and shared inquiry. Rather than asking how these qualities might be implemented within existing systems, the community invites participants to attend carefully to how they may begin to take root in lived experience.

This is a contemplative and communal inquiry, held within a shared rhythm of practice, accountability, and presence.

Overview

Who This Program Is For

This community is for people who feel drawn toward a way of being that runs counter to many dominant patterns of the present era.

Participants are often those willing to enter unfamiliar territory without clear signposts, to live with questions that do not yield immediate clarity or resolution, and to remain present within paradox. What matters most is not background, role, or certainty, but a willingness to practice attentiveness, patience, and honest engagement over time.

This program is not intended for those seeking step-by-step guidance, leadership tools, or practical strategies for change.

The Seven Foundational Qualities

The qualities explored in this community point toward:

  • A renewed respect for the feminine and feminine principles

  • A sacred relationship with the Earth

  • A return to cyclical rhythms of time

  • Non-hierarchical ways of being

  • Interconnected forms of community

  • Oneness as a foundational principle

  • Love as the central spiritual ground

These qualities are engaged as living realities rather than abstract ideals. The work does not assume understanding in advance, but unfolds gradually through sustained reflection, practice, and shared attention.

The community gathers once a month online over the course of nine months, beginning in October and concluding in June. Each gathering follows a consistent rhythm of silence, grounding, teaching, reflection, and shared conversation focused on one or more of the Seven Foundational Qualities.

Between gatherings, participants are invited to live with the material in simple, structured ways. This includes maintaining a daily spiritual practice, engaging in brief weekly check-ins with an accountability partner, and working with monthly practices designed to support attentiveness in ordinary life. Participants prepare a short report on practice each month—not as an evaluation, but as a way of noticing what is emerging.

The work unfolds slowly. Understanding is not rushed or forced, but allowed to take shape through repetition, presence, and relationship over time.

Rhythm of Participation

Time Commitment

  • Nine monthly online gatherings (1.5 hours each)

  • Daily spiritual practice of the participant’s choosing

What This Program Is Not

This community is not a leadership training, organizational change initiative, or community-building workshop.

It does not offer methods, strategies, or predictions about the future, nor does it claim to know how or when a New Story will arrive. It is not therapy, coaching, or self-improvement, and it does not promise outcomes, results, or transformation.

The work offers no guarantees—only a way of practicing presence within a time of transition.

Gift Economy

There is no fee to participate.

The Seven Foundational Qualities Community is offered within a gift economy and supported by those who choose to give.

Some people come to this work not because they are ready for deep integration, but because they sense a need to reorient—to listen more closely to what kind of world is being asked for, and how they might begin to live differently within it.

If you feel drawn to explore how a different way of being might take shape through practice, reflection, and shared inquiry, you are welcome to inquire further.

Discernment unfolds through attention, not persuasion.
