GlobalGEA.net is the web-home for GlobalGEA, an emerging global network of evolutionary architects committed to developing themselves and their work in a way that maximizes their collective contribution to reinventing our social systems and pioneering societal metamorphosis worldwide.
The website contains an extensive collection of “gear” – seed ideas, lenses, tools, strategies, resources, stories, theory, and more – all highly relevant to the formidable challenge (and incredible opportunity) of promoting and supporting the metamorphosis of social systems throughout our extraordinary planet. This gear is drawn from an extraordinary breadth and depth of experience with transformational work on the part of a wide range of practitioners, thought leaders, transformational leaders and teachers from throughout our planet.
We invite you to explore this wealth of material at your own pace and in a sequence of your choosing; follow your intuition and see what draws you in most. If you sense a “pull” that is stronger than curiosity – when your urge to act becomes irresistible, we invite you to study GlobalGEA’s Offer, Request and Promise for ways to engage with us.
A brief overview of the site content:
What is GlobalGEA? — describes this emerging global network at a high level and provides rationale for its launch.
GlobalGEA Manifesto is our “stake in the ground” – our deep beliefs and unwavering commitments that inform our work.

Gear for the Journey includes an extensive collection of lenses, frameworks and models designed to support our transformational challenge as a species. They provide new ways of seeing as well as boundary-bridging and innovation-evoking language. Each of the images in the “Carousel” at the top of the home page can help you in growing your systems’ capacity for self-evolving.
GlobalGEA’s Offer, Request and Promise sketches out the intended relationship between GlobalGEA and an individual ally or a system, and provides clear ways to engage with us.
