Steve Farrell is the co-founder, Chairman, and Worldwide Executive Director of Humanity's Team, a global nonprofit organization he co-founded in 2003 with Neale Donald Walsch. Humanity's Team works to help people awaken to their interconnectedness and live as one human family, fostering conscious evolution and spiritual awareness worldwide.

Heal Yourself
"There were real challenges with our beautiful home. There were toxins. Her health was severely affected for a while, as was my son Dylan's, because of a DNA body type that could not rid itself of toxins easily. They were both incredibly challenged for a period of years. That led us to therapists who were conscious and guided us in discussion. In therapy, as we talked about conscious living, the therapist asked how often love is expressed between us. That triggered action in terms of sharing love and doing things, not just saying it, but planning nice things."

Community & Connection
"If you were to sit down with my colleagues and partners, they would share what I am sharing, which is it is just a beautiful place to be. People do not have sharp elbows. It is a caring environment, a thoughtful environment, an environment where people really are grateful for each other's contributions. It is truly a conscious workplace. These things can take time to really create and gain momentum, but as they come into their fullness, it is a beautiful thing. You never want to go back to those old fear-based environments that all of us are probably familiar with."

Surrender
"There were 18 months between the time I closed everything in the technology world and the launch of Humanity's Team with Neale Donald Walsch. During those 18 months, I stayed true to the calling. There was uncertainty. I did not even know we were going to launch Humanity's Team for a year and a half. I only knew there was a spiritual calling I was meant to serve. That time allowed me to relax, find balance, and become completely empty so I could fill up with what I would need to do when we launched Humanity's Team."

Books
"I experienced things in Silicon Valley, which is why I wrote a book called A New Universal Dream to bring it all together."

Mentors & Teachers
"We launched in Wilsonville, Oregon in June 2003 with Neale Donald Walsch, the other primary co-founder. The co-founder of Humanity's Team, Neale Donald Walsch, who wrote the Conversations with God books, explains that life is a turning stone. Neil Donald Walsh and I created the master class The Art and Science of Living Consciously. There was about six months of research."
Follow Your Joy
"We want to do what feels good, from the time we were kids. What really feels good is an enduring good, not a sugar high good. In Silicon Valley, I was in sugar high good land, where all of the private jet world and stuff is a sugar high good, not an enduring good. An enduring good is where you can see a smile on people's faces, awareness created through the work you are doing, impact, and support that people feel. That feels really good."

Follow The Synchronicities
"The synchronicities happened, the miracles came, the resources showed up. When we do that, it is not a magic carpet ride. There are challenges. But you will go to your destiny. The resources will show up, the people, the financial resources, and other things that make life good for your family. There are miracles. For example, the home my family has lived in for sixteen years in Boulder showed up at a price we could afford. There have been many miracles like that."

Own Your Path
"I had to trust the process. In those moments in Silicon Valley, I was losing my strong desire to be only a business person, and the desire to follow my spiritual calling, this bigger self calling, was rising. The steps were leaving all the things that had served me. I sold the businesses, left the business associations I was part of, left Silicon Valley and the venture world, and opened myself to what would come. There were 18 months between the time I closed everything in the technology world and the launch of Humanity's Team with Neale Donald Walsch. During those 18 months, I stayed true to the calling. There was uncertainty. I did not even know we were going to launch Humanity's Team for a year and a half. I only knew there was a spiritual calling I was meant to serve. That time allowed me to relax, find balance, and become comple

Be Courageous
"When I left Silicon Valley, sold everything, and moved to Boulder, people really thought I had lost my mind. I lost most of the friends I had because this notion of non separation, oneness, diversity, and unity seemed very far out for people in the early 2000s. It requires real discipline. I have had lots of friends all of my life. It was always easy for me to make friends. I went through more than ten years where I did not have many friends because of the spiritual calling I was following. In that same time frame, we did not have a business model that was working. We had people who needed income, and I was the executive director and co-founder. I needed to find a way to get income to these people, so it was very challenging in many ways in the early years of Humanity's Team."

Ask For Higher Guidance
"The calling is something you feel. It's like knowing a partner is right for you, or a home is right for you, or a place you move to feels right. It comes back to the still small voice. There is a feeling, a sense, a trust, a clarity. I don't have to think hard about it. It's more a feeling than a thought. This is right. This is what I'm supposed to do. These are the people I'm supposed to work with. The still small voice brings clarity in the form of a feeling for me. It is like driving a car with guard rails on both sides. I can feel when I am getting off base or when I am on target. There was a still small voice that guided me my whole life, and that still small voice has been critical all along."

Life-Changing Event
"When I was in the Silicon Valley world, on a private jet and in a private ski area, especially the private ski area where Bill Gates and others belong, gated and off the charts luxury, I was there with my wife Stephanie. The cognitive dissonance was extreme. Incredible luxury, but what am I doing here with everything going on in the world? That was the experience, cognitive dissonance. I was not doing what I am doing now. It was a strong tap on the shoulder that there was another vision to serve and another journey to take. Cognitive dissonance comes in as a tap on the shoulder. Some say it turns into being hit by a two by four if you don't follow it. I believe that's true. I always followed the tap, so I never got hit by the two by four."

Focus On Something Bigger Than Yourself
"My calling is the big agenda, I'll call it, which is my true self, which is the world around me. There is no such thing as a separated self. Once I started tuning into the big agenda, which is the world around me, and really felt it was coming from a place of connection with the divine, which is the one that animates all of life and is omnipresent, meaning the planet, eight billion people, animal life, and plant life are part of this oneness too, once I started tuning into that and putting my energy into creating health and wellbeing for that, that's where the wind was at my back. The synchronicities happened, the miracles came, the resources showed up. Our true self is this whole world around us, this big agenda, this bigger self, not the little self I grew up with that was Steve Farrell just as this body. Once I made the decision that this was not who I was, that the bigger self is who I am serving, I did my best to serve that bigger self by creating educational programs through Humanity's Team. All we have to do is serve the big agenda, not the little agendas, the wants for little things, and it all happens."
