About the call

In this Community Call Richard Flyer reflected on the principles, learnings, and insights five decades of experiments and explorations across different nations, wisdom traditions, and organizational structures in his search to understand how to create a Symbiotic Culture, a Culture of Connection.

What is Symbiotic Culture?

Symbiotic Culture refers to a community and society where mutually beneficial relationships and collaborations amongst diverse groups of people, from family to neighborhood to community, nation, and planet, become the norm. Symbiotic cultures are not about fighting, reforming, or replacing the current system. They are about activating and connecting the healthy, functional forces inside the system to emerge above and beyond their silos to cooperate and collaborate to “connect the good” in their community — a new Network Commons.

About Richard

Richard has spent the last fifty years as a pioneer in the area of embodied, community engaged spirituality - integrating one's spiritual life AND building community-based ecosystem networks. His recent book release, Birthing the Symbiotic Age: an Ancient Blueprint for a New Creation shares his decades of on-the- ground experience building what he calls Symbiotic Culture – from the villages in Sri Lanka to low-income and middle class communities in the United States.

You can read more of Richard’s work via his Substack account. Or read about Sarvodaya here.
