3T Collective — The Movement behind Enhancing the Human Condition
When we first started 3T, I understood a simple set of truths. For any human to have a decent, meaningful and fulfilling quality of life, there need to be 3 distinct aspects of their life where they felt empowered and equipped.
Health
Wealth
Love
Each of these areas have a diverse array of facets but these simple fundamental concepts are pertinent to improving the human condition regardless of where you live and what you do.
3T Collective is where community and personal responsibility meets these three areas. The philosophy of the movement is that lifelong learning, self-awareness and community together can bring about massive transformational change that can impact society as a whole.
The discovery of these truths came from my own personal experience in prison where all the luxuries one could imagine had been taken away and each of us were only left with the bare necessities. It was through this deprivation, I learnt there wasn’t alot required to keep a human happy and positive. It was a mix of these three concepts provided in a range of different ways. To help provide clarity, each of these concepts will be broken down into their constituent parts:
Health
Mental health- To improve one’s mindset, cognitions and to ensure a healthy functioning mental state is essential to ensuring a positive quality of life.
Physical health- The physical health of an individual can be measured by looking at vital signs, bloods and other health measurements but active management through exercise and diet leads to ideal outcomes.
Wealth
Spiritual wealth- Our ability to connect to something greater than ourselves. This can be the universe, God, religion or spirituality. Our spiritual wealth is connected to the actions, thoughts and words we partake in.
Material wealth- The financial resilience, capability and literacy of an individual and their ability to navigate the financial system with a net gain according to their own long-term ideas.
Love
Love of oneself- To love yourself unconditionally and be compassionate with yourself is key to developing a high quality of life.
Love of others- Compassionate, unconditional and meaningful relationships of friends, family and loved ones to help provide a strong support network in life.
Love of community- To nurture and develop one’s community through a relationship to the location, the people, the history and the roots. To understand responsibility for one’s community lies within individuals and the collective.
Each of these areas are nurtured through 3T, through interventions, group sessions, 1–2–1 mentoring and the ability to self-organise and deploy projects as a collective. The aim is to empower people to change their own quality of life without waiting on organisations, NGOs or governments to intervene. Through developing autonomous communities and individuals who are able to share power and knowledge, there can be real transformational change in the way society is laid out and organised.
