A beautiful song and closing
Yesterday morning, we boarded the latest Ritz-Carlton cruise liner to join 300+ other change makers: activists, impact entrepreneurs, conscious financiers, indigenous elders, thought leaders for an 8-day cruise across to Atlantic.
Participants from more than 30 countries, diverse economic brackets, nationalities, ages are gathered in an elevated understanding and intention to actively co-create a better future for life on this earth.
We weren’t planning to join this luxurious voyage — a seeming contradiction to what this community wants to achieve — until we realised it’s exactly the place we are meant to be. These are neos·life’s people. These are our partners, our inspiration, our hope, our team, our allies.
Yet we were still sceptical even while boarding the boat. Did we make the right decision? Was it going to be another regenerative gathering that in the end isn’t very regenerative, but just a big ‘all talk no action’ party?
Is this worth our time, money and attention given the crucial moment we are at with neos·life (website) to close on the land by mid December? (See section below ‘How can you help?’)
By the end of Day 1, which was full of serendipitous and beautiful encounters contributing to a better tomorrow, we knew that our intuition was guiding us, as always, well.
The feeling of courageous unity in this ship is palpable — well known speakers like Zach Bush and Charles Eisenstein together with the beautiful indigenous wisdom keepers that bring their prayers, accompanied by ecovillage builders, peace leaders, and those fighting for the rights of nature — we all sing the same song, share the same heartbeat.
We are all people who essentially, refuse to let the darkness — of our traumas and old paradigm programming win, over our love for this planet, for humanity, for peace, justice, for a healthy tomorrow for seven generations.
We are people who will courageously continue to stand for what we believe in, in the hope of activating others so they may free themselves from the shackles of the fear and passivity that holds their hearts hostage, and likewise participate in the extraordinary actions required as stewards on this planet.
Here, fears, doubts, prejudices, limited beliefs, are all welcome into the safe space of the heart where love says, thank you, but you’re not needed here. Courage and faith are the leaders now.
Bear, Katiyana and their team have done an incredible job of curating this diverse spectrum of sisters and brothers now sailing over the deep Atlantic ocean. We are deeply grateful to be part of it.
A Snapshot of Day 1?
Though this was Day 4 for the cruise, it was our first Day on it — and Day 1 of the more serious work of this voyage:
Amelia, Cassia and the Fellowship stewards introduced us to the six themes of this journey — or as we call it at Earth One, the six Guilds, five of which are touched by neos·life directly:
Intelligences
Resilience
Biocultures
New economies
Governance
Oceans
A few snippets of what we explored (really just a glimpse!):
What does it take to create something profoundly new? What is uniquely possible here now? The way out is in. Earth law and Mycelial law (Josie Watson). Spirit aligned (indigenous) leadership program (Katsi Cook). We need wise rather than smart and hyper rational technology (Intelligences). We need to be better parents for AI (Raising AI by De Kai). Neg-information. You’re entitled to nothing and you’re entrusted with everything (Sufi saying). ‘Accidentally’ building the largest underwater robot firm (David Lang). The unique way the Taiwanese government responded to Covid. From dominant to emergent systems. It’s all about harmonising. Liberate one soul and the impact is manifold. The truth cannot be taught, it must be experienced.
It was a beautiful day of insights capturing neos·life’s mission, echoed by Earth One’s statement:
Everything the world needs is already here
We just have to integrate it into our lives, as a New Earth Operating System (neos) — and into places, created villages of dedicated practice, like neos·village will be, to show the world what is possible.
Raising planetary consciousness
Consciousness and culture are the heart of neos·life — born from the profound realisation that the root cause for all our problems and suffering is a limitation in consciousness.
neos·life’s — the new earth operating system’s primary objective is to raise planetary collective consciousness by creating a culture that supports it.
That is neos·life in a nutshell. Yes, we are building a village on a 1,000 acres for a 1,000 people with 200 homes, a transformation, well-being and holistic healing center, an academy, organic farm to feed everyone on the land, regeneration, autonomous housing, full energy, water and food self-sufficiency and all in harmony with nature each other and ourselves —
A model for a new way of being and the future of life on earth
See neos·life’s website and our visual investment deck.
And yet, the purpose of all of this is much greater than the sum of the parts. It is to model a new culture that anyone can adopt — a new way of being and living that is not a compromise, not a life downgrade, but rather that lifts us out of a world of fear, scarcity and victimhood into a world of heart-consciousness, abundance, empowerment, and responsible stewardship.
This is not a fantasy utopia but an emergent co-creation of what is truly possible — with everyone who resonates with this mission and is willing to do the inner work on this journey. That is really our invitation to you and the world: let’s all heal, integrate, rise and thrive together.
As is said at the end of one of our vision videos:
The world is such a beautiful place — why are we fighting?
See and experience neos·life in 3 mins:
A total game-changer opportunity
Research on brain function (e.g. Joe Dispenza, hypnotherapy) shows that our reality only shifts when we are able to expand our visionary and feeling realms to meet that vibration.
If we can’t see it, feel it, imagine it, experience it, it won’t shift. Sadly, most people haven’t even begun to imagine the kind of world that everyone on this ship believes in.
"Where there is no vision, there is no hope." — George Washington Carver
Yet what if everyone discovered neos·life and other new visionary eco-village projects springing up around the world? Places of beauty and harmony, health, wellbeing and community?
If people could actually witness and experience an entirely new way of living — one that makes total sense, is simple, wholistic, healthy, abundant, that provides all the solutions that you didn’t realise were at the core of all of your lifelong problems — it would be a total game-changer.
“If you combine a clear intention with an elevated emotion, you will likely experience a new state of being.” — Joe Dispenza
Intention plus elevated emotion facilitates an alchemical shift in one’s reality, catalysing a whole new way of being.
There are dozens of visions to bring about a new earth being imagined and planned around the world. Yet most of them are on pause or aborted as investment never rolls in — because the vast majority of investors are still playing Game A, the ‘good old’ scarcity and survival driven capital accumulation game of life.
Yet to create a new way of living is priceless. Imagine a global network — a grid of lighthouses — of stunning, biophilic villages designed for the maximum health, joy and wellbeing of its residents, network, and the natural environment.
All the ingredients required exist already. And all we need to do is to put them all together. That is what neos·life is. Conceptually simple yet incredibly powerful when executed from a place of consciousness rather than ego — in service of the greater good than any one person or group of people. Only when we transcend our own fears, we can truly serve humanity — and thereby create heaven on earth.
Ancient and indigenous wisdom, land regeneration and permaculture, empowered education instead of indoctrination, social and spiritual evolution, holistic and plant based healing, modern technologies.
We have a unique and massive opportunity to completely change humanity’s trajectory near instantly.
We have committed our lives to manifest this, and we invite you to help us — in the form of making neos·village happen.
neos·life is not our project. We are simply its stewards and we hope many of you, especially you at Earth One — committed to reimagining this new world — will join us on this land to co-create this new conscious world right here and now.
The land, 75 mins outside of Lisbon, comes with an existing hotel with 19 bedrooms, a river and lake, 200 cows and even an airstrip — ready to start building a new, regenerative, autonomous and self-sufficient civilisation.
How can you help?
This invitation comes with an urgent request for a vision-aligned investor(s) that want to bring neos·life to life. All we need is $4M by mid December to close on this beautiful land. This is less than $0.10/sq ft including all the infrastructure on the land. This really is a one-of-a-lifetime opportunity to restore heaven on earth.
You can find information about all of it at neos.life/links including our investment deck, 1-pager, newsletters, retreat programs and more. And if you are on the Atlantic Crossing with us, please connect with us.
neos·life’s first song
In one of the many of Earth One’s WhatsApp groups we shared neos·life’s vision video and an hour later Jack who we haven’t even met yet surprised us with this message:
I made you guys a song from this text: https://song.soundofmeme.com/neos-life-1
Click the above link or just listen here:
Here are the beautiful lyrics. That’s what neos·life is really about: Harmony! Thank you, Jack! We love your AI-generated song!
In a village so green and fair
Karen Vincent found their share
Harmony with nature's embrace
Raising consciousness with grace
Oceans wide and forests deep
In their hearts their dreams they keep
A thousand acres shining bright
Neos life in peaceful light
Raise your voice and sing along
In this village we belong
Harmony and nature's call
Together we will stand tall
Every stream and every tree
Tells a tale of what can be
With each step we learn to grow
In this world we come to know
Hand in hand we walk this path
Leave behind the pain and wrath
Karen Vincent lead the way
Toward a brighter
Peaceful day
Fields of flowers
Skies of blue
In their dreams
They make it true
Neo's life a guiding star
Spreading love both near and far
A beautiful closing
Day 1 of Earth One closed with an apt two hour Sacred Concert by Nākaloka — with Monica Dogra and Victorien Mulliez.
Nākaloka is an immersive sacred concert of the senses weaving world flute, sacred chant and recitation with community. This journey invites participants to disrupt the veil between human and divine embodiment through intentional and symbolic steps held in a potent sacred space.
With so much love, gratitude and excitement in what we all know is possible —
Karen & Vincent
