The Death and Rebirth of Human Consciousness with Steve Gilligan

We are in the middle of the deepest human transformation in human history: the death of the isolated ego, and the birth of the interconnected eco-mind.
The ego-isolated mind was based on disconnection from body, nature, nonverbal intelligence, and all “otherness”. The eco-mind awakens via an interconnectedness to these very contexts of consciousness.
We explore Thich Nhat Han’s prediction that “the next Buddha (awakened being) will come not as an individual but as a community,” with special focus on how collective movements like Generative Citizen are essential to this awakening.
Steve Gilligan did his undergraduate work in psychology at UC Santa Cruz, (where I met Bateson, Bandler, Grinder, and Milton Erickson) and his Ph.D. in Psychology at Stanford University. He is one of the foremost exponents of Erickson’s work, author of numerous books and founded the Generative Change field with Robert Dilts. In 2023 he founded the Community of Integral Mind and Action to promote an eco-mind approach to psychotherapy and coaching in a way that values our place in the world community, in nature and as an expression of the ever-present-origin (spirit).
