Book excerpt: In this inquiry, I use scholarly personal narrative (SPN) and contemplative generative listening to share my journey of awakening to, living in, and sustaining a transformative learning community (TLC), which I define as evoking a radical post-third-person integration of first-, second-, and third-person learning. Although there is dialogue in the educational literature that considers post-third-person learning, there is little in the area of collective learning systems-what I have termed transformative learning communities or TLCs-as well as the process of generative collective wisdom (GCW) where the theory, lived experience, and praxis of intersubjectivity (Gozawa, 2017; Gunnlaugson, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2015) and interbeing (Hanh, 2001) are privileged. This lack of language or conceptualization, as well as educator experience, challenges TLCs in the face of everyday practices that can too easily fall back to conventional ways of thinking about learning. Ultimately, I argue that a radical conceptualization of TLCs and GCW will support humans coming into relationship with both our human and more-than-human worlds to create a "more sustainable, regenerative and thriving future" (Wahl, 2016, p. 3) and propose a pedagogical manifesto to language this conceptualization.
