The Space Between Us
Discover the book born out of shared presence—a narrative of awakening together, and an invitation into the living field of being that reveals itself when we meet beyond identity.
The Devastating Myth of Separation (working title)
A follow-up to The Space Between Us, co-authored with Anne Sweet. Drawing on the experience of the Between-Us Groups™, it explores the conditions that allow relational intelligence to emerge, and what this might mean for how human beings learn, collaborate and evolve together.
In the Pipeline
Ideas rarely arrive fully formed. Some begin as a single question, others as a conversation, an unexpected insight, or a pattern that refuses to go away. Here are a few of the whispers that may yet become books.
Essays
A selection of essays exploring variations on the themes that run through the books.
Originally published in the Spring 2026 print editions of Quest Magazine “The grace that is being given at this time is not interested in personal development. It is not concerned with individual well-being. Its purpose is to open up the energy channels that exist within our collective psyche and collective consciousness and help the heart of the world awaken...
Many of the crises defining our time—climate disruption, ecological strain, institutional fragility, political polarization, technological acceleration, and widespread psychological stress—are usually discussed as separate problems. Each has its own field of expertise and its own set of proposed solutions.Yet when we step back, these challenges appear less like isolated failures and more like ...
An Interview for Emergent Education's online magazine: The Artist of PossibilityIn this interview Chandra Luzi Edwards speaks with Peter Mitchell about his experience of being part of a small group of friends who found individual transformation and awakening occurring when their focus was not on the individuals, but on the invitational, alive, “always-on-the-edge of discovering something new” ...
In many conversations there is a brief moment just before something becomes clear.A thought is sensed but not yet fully articulated. Someone searches for words. The group leans in. Several interpretations hover in the air at once.This brief space — where meaning is present but not yet defined — is what we call the threshold.In our Between-Us groups we have begun to notice how often the most si...
“Where you stumble and fall, there you will find gold.”— Joseph CampbellI recently came across an article about Moltbook, a new social network populated entirely by autonomous AI agents “conversing” with one another. Humans can observe but not participate. The agents exchange ideas, develop shared rituals, speculate about consciousness, draft manifestos, experiment with digital religion,...
In two days, Anne and I will launch our Between-Us Groups initiative — the first in a series of online meetings designed as a continuation of the work described in The Space Between Us.It feels like a suitable moment to pause, and to reflect.A central thread in my recent writing has been a discovery that arrived only after what I call the initial radical shift in perspective — waking up — an...
We are not suffering from a lack of information, attention, or intelligence. We are suffering from a failure of shared meaning — not as belief, but as infrastructure.Meaning is not something we add to reality through stories, values, or explanations. It is the compression that allows reality to be inhabitable together. When it works, it largely disappears from awareness. Life feels oriented. Sit...
1. A New Kind of ConversationLast Saturday was the largest Between-Us gathering since the project began more than three years ago. Eighteen faces appeared in their small Zoom windows, waiting for the meeting to find its rhythm. Some were long-time participants; others had drifted away and now felt called back after reading the book. There were smiles, warmth, a quiet anticipation — and, at the ...
A Vision UnfoldingThe vision I’m articulating here has not arrived as an idea or a proposal. It is something that has been forming over time. I first noticed it while writing my book, as I found myself wondering how the work of a small, intimate group might expand beyond its initial container and enter the wider world without losing its integrity. Even then, Indra’s Net offered itself as ...
It’s been less than a month since Peter Mitchell and I joined Jeff Carreira for the online launch of Peter’s book The Space Between Us. That conversation opened doors we didn’t expect.What we spoke about — the three years of steady, field-based group work we’ve been in that the book emerged from — clearly landed with people. And from that moment, the pace of this whole thing has taken ...

“The deepest need of the human heart is to be seen.” — Desmond TutuFrom Solitude to CommunionWhat does it mean to go from being an individual alone in the world—to the recognition that you are the world, seen from a particular time and place?It is not a small shift. The moment of awakening to one’s true nature is both vast and intimate. Vast, because the b...
1. A Crisis of Coherence We are living through a time of unravelling. Institutions are faltering, trust is eroding, and even our shared language for making sense of the world seems to be slipping away. Beneath the noise and conflict lies something more subtle: a deep longing to rediscover how to meet one another truthfully.
Have you ever had a conversation where you suddenly felt more yourself? Where you weren’t performing, explaining, adjusting, or negotiating—but simply being—and something in the space between you and the other person came alive? In moments like these, something sacred stirs. Not in some grand spiritual breakthrough, but in the quiet recognition of what’s real.
