ABOUT KABIR MACDOW
My journey began with a quiet inner call.
At age 20, I stepped into my first intentional community in upstate New York. It was a short stay, but it awakened something in me—a glimpse of what life could be when people live with shared intention.
Soon after, I followed an inner prompting that led me across the country to California, where I discovered the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and found a living community based on the principle of Simple living and high thinking. That was Ananda Village, and it became the foundation for the life path I continue to walk.
Since then, I’ve lived and served in communities across the United States, Italy, India, and the Middle East—gathering wisdom and witnessing firsthand what it truly takes to build conscious, thriving communities.
Over the past 30+ years, I’ve also worked extensively in holistic education—founding Living Wisdom High School near Stanford University, and co-creating a technical training institute for the Abu Dhabi government. These experiences, whether in classrooms or meditation halls, have always been guided by the same purpose: to awaken consciousness and cultivate community.
Today, through this project—along with my forthcoming book The Conscious Community Solution, and the online Conscious Community Solution Network—I continue to serve this global wave of transformation, offering what I can to a world in transition.
At its highest level, conscious community is not just a social model—it is a pathway through life–A way of remembering that we are not here to walk alone, but to reflect the higher Self that lives within each of us.
