In Community

World Lights

The new dream is being born in community.

The old dream is rooted in separation, telling us it is “every person for themselves,” and we’ve become isolated from each other.

Now there is a resurgence of community, like-minded people banding together to find a voice together as the movement for a new future.

Community – coming together in unity – nourishes each of us in the work we take on ourselves.  It also allows us to work together to tackle projects we couldn’t do alone.  Together we are a powerful force for change, calling forth from our elected representatives, from our corporations and institutions the responses which build a future worth choosing.  We are the voice of this future.


Join a Community

There are a host of community groups already active in every corner of the world.  You will find these examples and more wherever you live.

  • Local chapters of charities and NGOs
  • Spiritual, religious and faith groups
  • Alliance for New Humanity

Form a Community

If there is no group in your area or if you are minded to start one yourself we are delighted to point you at the work of the Be the Change Earth Alliance.  With their simple template you can start a group and enjoy all of the benefits of community.

International Community

The Awakening the Dreamer program has spread internationally through a partnership with the Be The Change organization.

Awakening the Dreamer Community Groups

Community Groups are an ever-expanding network of global citizens whoare inspired, supported, and committed to environmental sustainability,social justice and spiritual fulfillment. These self-generating groups allow people to connect locally and expand each individual’s impact by getting into action with others, focusing primarily on bringing the Symposium to their locales. The groups foster a place for new conversations and for groundbreaking ideas to germinate that not only empower us individually but also empower our communities. Community Groups cultivate a sense of joy and belonging that follows when we comeinto alignment with each other and the Earth.

The Pachamama Alliance provides some guidance to support these Community Groups while encouraging the freedom to express how best to take action in your own communities. These groups are available to anyone interested, whether or not you’ve attended an Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium.

If you would like to participate in an existing Community Group, please see the list below for location and email contact information.

If you have attended an Awakening the Dreamer symposium and do not see a Community Group listed in your area, we invite you to create one. Email Emily Smith at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it for information on getting started.Please include your city and state, and which symposium you attended.
