Starting a triad

How do you set yourself up as a triad of pioneers on a timeless quest for the true, the good and beautiful?

  • Find two other people with a shared urge. You will know them when you meet them.
  • Start a conversation somewhere where you can speak freely and openly
  • Set up a way to share messages
  • Share things that have already found
  • Share things you have created
  • Give yourselves a few simple rules to commit to which will ensure that the triad continues for a long time
  • Get a regular meet up in your calendars
  • Share thoughts in an open dialogue
  • Support each other with overcoming any fears that holding you back from further creativity or exploration
  • Do a full day working session together on something that interests you all
  • Plan an initial retreat and define your intentions
  • Do an initiation
  • Find out more about the urges that moved you all
  • Convert those urges into values that will guide your endeavour
  • Define what’s meaningful for you as a triad which will become the purpose of what you want to discover or offer to the world
  • Continue to share anything that is interesting and novel
  • Write up what you learn along the way
  • Write a manifesto if helps your define your cause
  • Support each other in personal mini-projects as well
  • Create a space to come together and experiment and create
  • Create something beautiful together
  • Sustain the triad. This might not be a viable business, so you may need to get either a patron or become your own patron through another job
  • Stay frugal
  • Support and challenge each other
  • Get yourselves out there, meet other groups, and share with them

And then look back after a few years and realise that the most interesting learned and the most meaningful moments you had came through this collective search for the good, true and beautiful.
