About Us

 What is Conscious Community-Reno?

Vision
Conscious Community is a bold vision, a universal ideal for the world.  It is a practical, community vision that brings people together to find common ground, and to realize that we are all in this together.  At its core, it is a “spiritual” vision, in that we embody universal principles and virtues in the way we choose to live.

Mission
We are creating a better world, starting with ourselves, then connecting with others, and local organizations to build a self-reliant community..

If you're new, please read the short CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY BROCHURE to give you an overview of why and what we are doing.

How Does Conscious Community-Reno (CC) Accomplish its Mission?
Launched in 2003, CC started by focusing on building a network of 300 locally-owned and independent businesses and community organizations to keep money in our local economy.  Later, we focused on being a catalyst for a local food system network whose purpose is to increase local production and consumption of food.  Then, in 2006 we convened a meeting of over 100 community, business, religious, political leaders and citizens to identify common principles and vision to take us forward.  Find out the whole story of our  History.

CC Focuses on 2 Areas:

1. Social Network (http://www.consciouscommunity-reno.org):

CC offers "basic training" sessions online to show new members how to maximize their connecting experience.  If you would like a lesson, please contact Richard Flyer at rflyer2@yahoo.com

What We Stand For
We all share a belief that virtues are important, but they may not be in the forefront of how we live our lives. Conscious Community encourages us to “walk our talk.”  We believe that the foundation to a sustainable society is in virtuous behavior towards ourselves and others, generating strong families, tight-knit neighborhoods, communities, and eventually the world.

The following list was the result of input from the community and from looking at the “core values” of many social institutions including service groups such as Rotary, business, the U.S. military and police departments, non-profit and civic organizations, religious groups, city governments, and more.
