Penny you are spot on. I have been a spiritual teacher preparing for these times of change since 1987 and somehow a community began to form through the groups I ran. However in 2018 I started a Monday morning Breakfast group which brought together 3 people at first and slowly grew. During Covid I put it on zoom and it continued to grow. We are now a large Connect to Soul New Earth Community here in Australia, both online and in person as we have from 20 to 30 people at out breakfasts, collaborate, share and expand our consciousness to becoming the new humans. We have stepped out of the consciousness of the 3rd density and are transforming through the 4th into the 5th of harmony, peace and love, knowing that we are indeed the creators of our reality and doing it with conscious intent making this a better world. Anyone can do this, just begin. We are the people we have been waiting for and we are winning. We are now focused on creating a large property to house a Wellness Retreat, School of Ascension and 5th dimensional experience of land and people in harmony and alignment with nature and all that is. Love always in service I AM, 💞🙏
I live in Melbourne, where are you?
@@lidiamalkic are you in Frankston? 😅
@ in Armadale, but i use to live in Frankston
May I ask, do you ever find people who are actually very egocentric and unhealthy claiming higher dimensional thinking? How do you respond to that sort of verbal misappropriation? Thanks.
@ I accept that everyone is on their own journey of learning and respond only to frequencies that align with love, peace and harmony. i strive to be the person I want others to be in a peaceful loving New Earth. 🙏❤
Thank you all. I wish these discussions could be longer. I also hope you will address Penny and Gregg's list to discuss further in the near future. Peace and love to all.

This conversation, takes me intuitively to the community efforts around the ringing cedars / Anastasia concepts. Working with nature, and the development of 1 hectares individual efforts, while being surrounded by like minded individuals developing their own plots, and coming together communally, to share knowledge and trade for the health and wellness and the land, individuals, and community.
I would like to see and hear more about this type of communal effort, and how it can and does benefit the individuals and community involved.
Thank you John, and beloved team members, I feel that Frank really fills the position of a European individual perspective for the team.
Love you guys.
Keep up the great work, I have been encouraged to come to Berkeley Springs to explore your community. ❤️
Yes! The Ringing Cedars books! 💚🥰 That's a good model. Thank you
Penny said that there is a great benefit from sharing food at the gathering. I would add further, that there should be some form of meditation that EVERYONE does together. It could be as little as 15 minutes, as long as one hour, but if people go within before they start to spew out all the things that they have been holding in and want to Xpress in the group, then the outcome I feel will be much better. 😇
Can be framed as “Attunment” or Grounding Intention/Purpose
Couldn't hurt
@@jeffreebailey4464Indeed!
I would keep the Meditation to under 15 minutes. I guess that depends on what the explicit intention is for the group and the members level of consciousness.
And…keep a five min max on sharing? What about cross talk? Staying on point? Establish a topic for Meeting? Wow, many things to consider when forming a group to accomplish objectives.
Great talk! I appreciate this group (Welcome Frank!) and hearing about the different types of communities that could be developed - very thought provoking!! Penny you did a terrific job of "being John"! 😄
Great job everyone! Welcome Frank! Now I get to see you here and with Jean Nolan. ❤
Thank you so much for all of your views on community. I really think it's the way forward for humanity. ❤
Great conversation, enjoyed it very much!
I live in a commune in Aotearoa New Zealand that was established in 1971. We have a piece of land which was paid for by the founding members for an intentional community and have built our Community around protecting the land for regeneration and biodiversity, and also being open to welcoming new members who sign up to our community agreement. We have had troubles of all kinds, sexual as Gregg mentioned, financial, legal, personality clashes you name it. All has madè us stronger.
We celebrate our 54th anniversary on February 14th.
Oh it would be so nice to have you all in my community! Thank you for this discussion!
The best convo on Quartet: Purpose and Practical solutions .
Absolutely loved this Conscious Conversation. This is a Pillar of building any community, virtual of physical. Having a common goal and consciously conversing when together is Key! Thank you for all the insights!!
Love seeing Frank with you!
I love and am obsessed with your monthly talks with the 4 of you. Thank you so much. Would love them twice a month and a bit longer!? Like 1 hr & 30 mins - 2 hr? If possible? If not, all good. Thank you for to you all again! So grateful and very helpful each time. Always look forward to these. Everyone looks wonderful by the way
Good morning Wonderful leaders and followers. I do enjoy listening to the talks and reading the comments as it is very thought provoking. So thank you all........ Since I AM a being from a different dimension, so are you all, by the way, you are still tied to this earthly realm with your thoughts and ideas. Please, Please let GO of all earthly trappings and ties. There is an Ascension process going on for all of us here and now. Ascension for us is becoming the Spiritual Beings we are are. This also means moving to a higher dimension of existence. So whatever your thoughts/ego tell you it is designed to stop you waking up and reinforces the mental prison we have been brainwashed into. Come on People/Beings please let's wake up fully. This is not a group thing this is individual journey. A Path that we signed up for before we were born. God Bless you ALL 💜
Thank you. Hello from Holland-the Netherlands beautiful cold day blue skies and sun overhere too, today🌷🌷🌷
❤THANKYOU TO YOU 4 for the interesting ideas abot how to live in a diferentes World in Peace ,best wishes Mr Petersen. AMEN. ❤Blessings
Summertown Tennessee community started in the 70's and still goes on today.
Amazing energy and vibrations , thank you all for your dedication🙏
Great conversation 👌 🎉
When we start from fear and scarcity decisions almost always backfire. We can gather in love and curiosity first❤ sharing skills thru little projects in service. And insure we are aware and PREpared to deal with the controllers, agreements of accountability.
Here we go!
❤from Canada
It is amazing and frightening John. Penny nice observations ..my thanks to everyone on the panel. As scripture says. EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SHAKEN.
Thank you. Valuable.
Trust is established through complete acceptance.
Great. Need more of these kinds of discussion on various topics.
In creating a community, there needs to be a central spirit. Meetings centered around brainstorming need to have boundaries established through values. Native Americans use the talking circle principles. Individuals are free to come and go. Every circle begins with a prayer. Thoughts, feelings and emotions are honored, respected, and agreed to remain in the circle. Problems are discussed, solutions discussed, pathways forward envisioned and agreements forged. The agreements are honored. Trust is paramount. It is understood that every word uttered is a promise kept. Interrelatedness is based on how an individual shows up and carries themselves.
I've been thinking of building communities for over a decade.
Me too.
"Exit and Build" is a small group trying to help others ..
There are many intentional communities throughout the States and all thru Mexico & south america too..
Getting outside of the system as much as possible ensures that when the system collapses you won't even feel it.
Become Ungovernable
Be an Agorist
Food forests
Homestead
Etc....
There are Eco villages worldwide
I will want to be a part of this John. Physically designing and building.
What a great conversation bye 4 of my favorite there you can find on youtube ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I'm have this dream about a community there can work, where its possible to BE FREE 🕊️🙏✨❤️🔥🦋💞💫
Thanks & appreciation to your 4 points of view. Sooo valuable
I just want to highlight the “Vocational Wheel” Gregg mentioned. I don’t know Barbara’s work, but I definitely feel this Vocational Wheel is a cornerstone for bringing together a Community.
Specifically on having a group identify ready with their individual skills for emergencies and disasters in each Community.
And for a long term solution and survival.
I have been thinking along these lines.
I’ll look for Barbara’s work
Next set of questions. How do you defend that community from those still stuck in predatory modes? And what do you do when your community is overrun?
Many, many moving parts that all have to be worked out throughout the years or centuries. The Aquarian Age will roughly last 2,600 years. We are not all going to ascend at the same time. What is going on now is the shattering of the old bit by bit to make room for the new. but if this is done too rapid, too fast it can also backfire.
Drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals greedy money makers do not get converted over night and forcing them into a new set of rules can make them even more stubborn.
I had the same question and was able to find a reflective material that you can wrap your entire property in with inexpensive fencing. If you live in a densely wooded area then the only way people can even know you’re there is if they are right on top of this material. So that’s one idea you can check into.
Other than that, you have to have people on guard all the time taking shifts. We won’t have any infrastructure after 2040. If you follow Jason from ARCHAIX you will learn that quickly.
So whatever it is, we do we need to figure it out sooner than later.

My 'last resort' plan is maximum mobility minimum footprint. What I can carry in an expedition size backpack.
Great conversation
Thank you guys 🙏
Very much enjoyed the discussion.
I'm trying to get something of a small community going, here in Stanthorpe, QLD, Australia. I find it difficult and limit the people's to food exchange, organically grown..
See what the future will bring.
You probably feel the change more keenly in the US and Europe. I grew up in Germany and know its more intense there.
Welcome, Frank, love your input.
So happy to hear that you talked about Brighton ai. I was just about to mention it😊
This was one of my favorite discussions because it is on my mind every day! You all provided a great intro with info to a much needed conversation in our world right now. I kept thinking of Findhorn in Scotland 💚 I would love a part 2! Or a day of learning at Berkley springs...I will come from Indiana! Thank you John, Gregg, Penny & Frank. Blessings 💖✨
Thanks so much, again! A few years ago...prior to Covid I heard about a space that Bono opened in...I think Los Angeles. Individuals that were online entrepreneurs but really wanted the connection with community would pay a membership fee and work from there when it suited them. I loved the idea and the space looked really cool. It would be amazing to have spaces like that set up throughout the continent....and network, connect and share local news and ideas.
Thank you for doing this ❤
Your description of the structure of Transitions caught my discernment as spot on. It reminds me of my vision for my forthcoming book, (The Peace Above the Chaos) a book like The Artists Way (that is, it's like 9 consecutive weeks of spiritual growth exercises in addition to the narrative--not far from a 9 week workshop). My vision of many local groups gathering together; possibly having a shared meal before the reading group part; possibly adding a "needs and solutions" part (maybe someone saying, "I'll do home schooling for all your kids" etc.).
Thank You all so much love all of Yous
John- I would love the Damahur book to be online!!!
I like having Penny do the little JOhn closing statement that was cute
Thank you and much love to yuo! ❤✨
Well, here I am one more time … woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this episode. Although everybody has good intentions I still feel like too much of the old still ingrained in everyone’s mind
Maybe we could brainstorm on things that our harts really would like to see happening: Collaboration without external compensation…..How can it happen?…..what is it that man needs in order to feel worthy, loved and appreciated? How can we educate people and ourselves to be open and allow criticism and suggestions without feeling diminished, hurt or any other negative thoughts that can bring destructive impulses and feelings? We need to be aware of too much restrictions but implementing freedom with responsibility in a manner that works. Always keeping in minds the must needed balance between mind and hart All external problems will naturally dissipate when the internal needs are understood and taken care in a matter that’s it’s agreeable to all parties involved …… I am going back to sleep …. Remember win/win situations should be permeated in the walls of the new world we wanted
Enyone thought of contributiomism (Ubuntu /Michael Tellenger) ?
Hand-held radios and repeaters. Please describe what kind. I have looked at the differences between CB radios and hand-held walkie-talkies and their ranges. Thanks so much.
was greg referring to the community in sunshine valley? i am in the questa foothills not far from there:)
Communities and civilizations have a circle of life ( like everything else ) so we are just going through the normal cycle
Don't forget Finhorn, as been going for decades and is in Scotland...
A good resource for local Communities uniting and thriving…

Hi All !!! Has anyone been following ARCHAIX? We won’t have infrastructure anywhere in the world after 2040.
If this is correct which I believe 100% it is with all of the data Jason has to support this from antiquity all the way to 2106, we have no choice other than to form communities.
Yes have e vision
Thanks
Respekt
I would like to listen to what Gregg has to say. He came prepared but couldn’t not share or at least that’s the impression I got.
Also nobody really paying attention to starting a community we should pay attention to to why and what didn’t work with the system we are in
Every system has its good and bad side but regardless of the system humanity’s intention s is what ruins everything. Greed and corruption to start…
So the focus shouldn’t be on how to avoid what ruined our democracy in the first place???
I felt like Penny’s ideas was mostly about what we already have and it’s not working let’s fallow the natives way of management
That should work
learn from EL PARAISO VERDE in Paraguay
What kind of political system should be talked about next!
❤
I wish your guests would provide sources for all of the claims they make. Penny talking about the missing children? Where did she get that?
Also, in speaking about community, she says, "Trust requires truthfulness..." Yet she appears to be parroting disinformation in some of her claims. How is that serving humanity?
In my understanding, the US has to give a year's notice to leave the WHO.
We need huge changes to get to the new earth. Trump is the catalyst to that. I know god is working through the people who are being elevated in this time. Doesn’t mean there won’t be suffering, change usually brings some level of suffering.
Could DogMan be about transhumanism - making it a normal way to go for our young people
Penny, have you seen or experienced chemical fog in SW Michigan?
🙏🕊️💞🇸🇪
Has your Embassador of town learned how to finally use a knife? I really hope she sticks to your organic vegetables, Only.
Wait till AI is let loose! A night mare will ensue.
I was disappointed to see Frank in the group. Yet another producer, ACTOR, influencer. U have it covered from all angles. Religious, scientific, spiritual and political. My choice is not a or b, there is c, d, e.
I am not impressed with Trump. (Neither administrations for that matter)I didn't know you guys were such fans of his ?? I listen for the advice on building community. Trying to ignore the Trump praise.
I agree. I would appreciate their sticking to the subject and leaving their politics out of the discussion.
You lost me at blaming the Biden administration for not finding the children that were lost during the Trump administration….dah…Trump’s people found some of them suddenly?
Frank is totally wrong about the future. No capitalism is not good for anyone, its just like survival of the fittest, and relies on competition.
The future is cooperation based and collaboration too.
No we are not equal in gifts etc but we are equal in rights to happiness and ha
Ving needs met. Sorry this was dissapointing. Not much thought went into actually thinking this through
