Stage Green, the sixth awakening on the spiral, emerges as people begin to see the lack of depth and meaning within Stage Orange. This level of consciousness longs to associate with the human spirit and nature.
Green is the first level on the spiral to view spirituality as non-sectarian and understand its role and deep connection to nature, without doctrine.
Green is devoted to community and wants to bring the world together; placing equal value on all with a need for peaceful co-existence. Green generally feels anger at the way Blue and Green has abused nature. They do not resonate with the way the prior stages have strived for power and material gain and longs for a way of living sustainably.
It is common to see extremists within Green, such as mass protestors participating in “Anti” behaviours. This can be a big problem in itself; we see a lot of it in the world today.
You will see Greens performing sustainable actions, such as recycling, using public transport and purchasing second-hand clothes to reduce their ‘carbon footprint’.
There are many examples of Green in today’s society. Some of those include The ‘Me-Too’ Movement, Green Peace, Climate Change Activists, Black Lives Matter Activists, Veganism and more.
In 2020, Stage Green represents 10% of the global adult population; however, in America and Western Europe, this could reach 30%. Green represents about 15% of the influence, mainly through NGOs such as Greenpeace and Green politics.
The Origin Of Stage Green
Stage Green appeared approximately 200 years ago, in France and Germany. It emerged as a development (and rejection) of the capitalist and materialistic world that Orange created; with little regard for nature, sustainability or equality. There was a need for a deeper connection and emotional well-being, as well as a belief of shared abundance.
Point of Gravity
The essence of Stage Green is to find peace with the inner self and explore the compassionate and caring dimensions of the community. It is feminine and serves the collective.

Moving from Stage Green to Stage Yellow
Stage Green transcends into Stage Yellow. This transcendence usually comes from a place of frustration towards Greens radicalisation, flawed rationality, potential ‘anti’ actions and lack of problem-solving. As the individual moves into Green, they begin to live more from a place of love, as opposed to a place of fear. This is their first step into the Second-Tier of the spiral, and the individual begins to search for systems to solve a lot of the issues Green recognises.
