Triphora arose from deep conversations between three friends grappling with the meta-crisis of our time. We asked ourselves: What if the key pivot points in human development could be healed and strengthened in an aligned, integrative way? What if we could address the root causes of disconnection and fragmentation that manifest across families, education, and leadership?
Our work focuses on increasing the collaborative coherence of life-centering projects across these three domains, distributing resources into wisdom-generative programs, and creating a relationally-centered response to overwhelming complexity.
Triphora trianthophoros is a small, elusive orchid native to North America. As a semi-saprophytic organism, it transforms decaying organic material into nutrients that nourish the ecosystem.
Like our namesake, Triphora (the organization) arises to facilitate the networked redistribution of stored energy into accessible forms that serve Life. We transform capital and resources into wisdom and attuned relating. The orchid's pattern of three reflects our focus on three key developmental domains, and its coordinated, ephemeral blooming mirrors our approach to creating moments of transformation.
Person About
Is a practitioner in the realms of leadership development, human dynamics, and the art of becoming. His work is informed by influences ranging from interpersonal neurobiology, to depth and developmental psychology, to awareness-based systems change. Rob’s commitment to being an instrument for the deepening of connection is sourced from his own experiences of feeling deeply lost, alone, and burnt out from “succeeding” in the individual-first, achievement-centric culture of this time in history.
He has fostered a reverent love of and life-long commitment to practicing the art of human relating. His person has been shaped deeply by multiple formative decades in the martial arts, a love of music, and the gift of a diverse web of friends, colleagues and communities.
Our work is guided by:
Attuned relating as both means and end
The power of three in transformation
Ancient wisdom meeting emergent possibilities
Connection as the antidote to fragmentation
Maximum diversity without chaos, maximum coherence without homogeneity
Vision/Purpose Statement
We are living through a pandemic of disconnection, fragmented from any sense of shared reality that enables wise, coordinated human action. Yet we have experiences and evidence, both ancient and modern, that point to a better way: one where attuned relating regenerates greater well-being and the wisdom that both discloses a more inclusive, whole world, and offers us a compass for how to participate in the stewardship of it.
Triphora is one expression of life-force in an ecosystem of connection and wisdom in action. We practice communing, shared meaning-making, and meta-theoretical learning to offer more effective relational experiences within and between the critical developmental acupressure points across the human lifespan.
