<strong>I am Tom Morgan—</strong>

For the last few years I've been exploring the idea of a phase shift in consciousness. Trends in storytelling, culture, healing and business seem to confirm this shift. I have argued that the increasing prevalence of Hero's Journey narratives in popular culture reflect an unconscious desire for an evolution in consciosness. I see corresponding support from interest in embodiment, mindfulness, yoga and psychedelic treatment.

I want to create a salon where we can discuss, share and challenge this evolution. <strong>We will gather somewhere in Manhattan—precise location TBD. Location will be shared with RSVPs 48 hours via email, and updates will be posted in the <a href="https://discord.com/channels/771204239015936031/771214709080195072">New York Discord channel</a>.</strong>

I'll present a (brief!) thesis based on the work of Joseph Campbell, Iain McGilchrist, Daniel Schmachtenberger and John Vervaeke. Then I'd like to go straight into discussion on the following questions or anything you'd like to bring to the table.
<ul>
 	<li>How do you think culture is evolving?</li>
 	<li>What might happen next?</li>
 	<li>What is a model for culture that can start with the individual?</li>
 	<li>What practices can you implement in your life to facilitate this transition?</li>
 	<li>How can you help others?</li>
</ul>
<h4>Some pieces I'd recommend:</h4>
<ul>
 	<li>Tarnas on the nature and evidence for a long-term phase transition: <a href="https://www.gaiamind.com/Tarnas.html">https://www.gaiamind.com/Tarnas.html</a></li>
 	<li>The structure and phenomenon of the new post-competition dynamic <a href="https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/05/12/studies-on-slack/">https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/05/12/studies-on-slack/</a></li>
 	<li>The diagnosis and prescription from Daniel Schmachtenberger. <a href="https://civilizationemerging.com/the-dance-of-the-tao-and-the-ten-thousand-things/">https://civilizationemerging.com/the-dance-of-the-tao-and-the-ten-thousand-things/</a></li>
</ul>
