The Center for Conscious Evolution (CCE) is currently being developed as an overall Strategic Vision of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. In the full realization of this vision the CCE will be cooperatively conceived, designed, and brought into being by a variety of collaborative partners with shared direction and purpose towards a comprehensively livable world.

The Center for Conscious Evolution will serve to:

  1. Identify, connect, and communicate who and what is actively working on behalf of comprehensive livability.
  2. Provide educational resources for personal, social, & global physical and metaphysical evolutionary learning.
  3. Create systems of coherence & evolutionary tools at a 'doable' scale (e.g. the city of Santa Barbara) as a living demonstration of processes of peace & comprehensive livability.
  4. Inventory human trends, resources and needs (in all areas of natural, human, financial, and technological capital), and research, develop, and apply Design Science problem solving methodologies as appropriate.

 

Primary components of the Center include:

Peace Room: The Peace Room is as a new social tool that facilitates the conscious participation of individuals, communities, and the global community at large in self and social evolution. As a complementary and necessary balance to our "War Rooms", the Peace Room serves to engage the best technologies of scanning, mapping, tracking, and communicating to identify, connect, and make known what's working, and what needs work, towards a comprehensively livable world. It also serves a much needed community function for matching of needs and resources (see Cocreative Community Network idea.) more on the Peace Room...

Education: A primary step in assisting a community of people, whether locally or globally, in coming into a common understanding and sense of shared purpose is to provide educational resources for learning about both self and social conscious evolution. There are many new approaches to education being developed and tested, as well as overall curricula frameworks, that support a comprehensive perspective as the foundation for learning. more on Education...

Broadcast and Communication: It is of great importance that the perils and opportunities, successes and lessons of this critical time for humankind be clearly and widely broadcast and communicated in a manner that is easily accessible to anyone middle-school age and older. Only an informed world society can make informed choices. More on Broadcast and Communication...

Design Science Research and Application: This component serves as the hub of Design Science research, planning, and application, integrating the worlds of academic and scientific research, social and environmental architecture, and the humanities into a more comprehensive and creative approach to local and global problem solving. More on Design Science Research and Application...

Community Application: Community-scale application of the principles and practices of Conscious Evolution is where humanity can begin to actively participate in choosing and implementing its own best options for a comprehensively livable future. Whether geographically united or by organizational affiliation, there are already numerous communities of people exploring new systems of self-organizing and governing, and alternative forms of community planning and infrastructure design.
