Find your TRUENORTH.
Become Highly Effective.
Create your own reality. Live your ideal life.
TRUENORTH Conscious Collective exists to make that possible — through connection, conversation, and conscious growth across every part of your life.
ConnectionSpiritMindBodyA collective of like-minded people deliberately growing themselves.
We bring together people who are ready to become Highly Effective and live their best life, through real human connection, shared experiences, and conscious conversations that activate real growth.
There is a regulatory gene in the human brain called FoxP2 that sits dormant until one thing activates it: conversation.
When you engage in real dialogue, your brain physically grows. Neurons fire, connections form, curiosity expands. This science is known as Conversational Intelligence. It is what separates Highly Effective people from the rest. And it is what the Conscious Collective is built on.
Knowledge is free. You can find anything online. What you cannot find online is the conversation and connections that change your thinking at the right moment.
The compass represents your direction in life. TRUENORTH Conscious Collective uses the cardinal points — Connection, Mind, Body and Spirit. A balance across these points optimises your effectiveness.
North
First, you connect. With yourself, with others, and with the possibilities you have not yet seen. Something shifts when you show up to an experience with people who are on the same kind of journey.
West
Our conscious direction is where we make decisions, shape who we are and where we are going. It is about being intentional about becoming Highly Effective.
East
Intentionally challenging ourselves to connect with the physical world, through adventure, experience and exploration. We focus on energy, wellness and nutrition.
South
Developing our awareness of a deeper unconscious connection to ourselves, others and the world around us.
