We’ve taken out an old diesel engine and replaced it with a hydrogen fuel cell! We’re running this baby a whole new way! The 1Mandala’s new engine is CO-CREATION.

But just what is co-creation?

Co-creation is a playful and powerful way of realizing our dreams together.

Co-creation is a revolutionary way of sustainably, harmoniously and supportively coming together to manifest a shared intention. It is the conscious integration of our diverse creative energies to profoundly compliment one the other. It is the balanced integration of the circular ways of the feminine with the linear ways of the masculine to empower our complimentary diversity.

And it is about time. For too long the masculine over the feminine has plagued humanity’s creations with conflict and instability. For too long valued the gifts of one sex, one group, one person over another.

And so we evolve. Fundamentally, co-creation is a deep acknowledgment that the journey really is the destination, that for all our independence we are inextricably connected and that only together can we achieve our grandest visions. Working co-creatively becomes a magical creative process that not only empowers the group's intention but brings about the community, companionship, and belonging that vastly empower the journeys and dreams of each individual co-creator. The 1Mandala is a bold, shinning example of co-creation in action.

So how does it work? Let’s show you. These very words were written by the 1Mandala’s co-creative writing team (2 men, 2 women). Using an open google doc we’ve crafted these paragraphs. The process takes a life of its own, fusing the unique insights and styles of each.

And this is how we are building the Mandala. From our translations (a multi-lingual team), to this newsletter (revised and defined by our team each week) to the actual mandala (each of your portraits and smiles).

Stay tuned, more on our new foundation next week.
