Kosmos

“In addition to examining and changing our personal inner lives and our cultural values, the conscious activist is challenged to apply this wisdom to strategies that affect the manifest world. We balance action and reflection, working with a fierce heart at all scales from the personal, to local, to national, to global and even kosmic levels.”

— Nancy Roof, Founder of Kosmos

Our Mission

The Kosmos mission is to inform, inspire and engage individual and collective participation for global transformation in harmony with all Life. We do this by sharing transformational thinking and policy initiatives, aesthetic beauty and wisdom, local to global.

Our roots are at the United Nations, where a group of globally-conscious, spiritually-oriented people, including NGO staff and ambassadors, integral thinkers and peacebuilders began meeting in the year 2000. This was the beginning of what eventually became Kosmos.

Since that time, a growing community of noted authors, local and global activists, world spiritual figures, economists and ecologists have been speaking urgently of a world in crisis and of a simultaneous awakening across many fields of endeavor to an elevated consciousness, no longer based on greed, competition, and scarcity, but one informed by fresh expressions of cooperation, ancestral wisdom, community-building, sharing, and innovation at all scales from local to global.

In 2014, Kosmos conducted the first communication research study of the Global Transformation Movement, led by Rhonda Fabian and Dr. Jen Horner, both alumnae of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. The Shift, Great Turning, and Metamodern are words used to describe what many are experiencing as a growing ‘movement of movements’, an awareness worldwide of the need to examine and restructure political, economic, and social systems to align more closely with the needs of humanity and the Earth. Under the guidance of Nancy Roof, and since 2018 Rhonda Fabian, Kosmos has sought to encourage and amplify these movements and share their messages with policymakers and change-agents at many levels.

Kosmos is a mission-driven, evolving group of associates working together to widen our vision of the possible in these transformative times. A new human and a new world is being born and you can track this emergence through Kosmos.
