I came across a listing of cultural practices that contribute to collective consciousness. I will credit the source when/if I figure it out.
1.) Sankofa (learn from the past);
2.) I to We (from individualism/me to collective/we)
3.) Mi Casa es Su Casa (a spirit of generosity)
4.) Leader among equals (dignity culture)
5.) Leaders as guardians of public values (leadership as public benefit not private property)
6.) Leaders as community stewards (Role of leaders is to represent interests of community)
7.) All my realities (we are multidimensional but we are one)
8.) Gratitude/Hope/Forgiveness (gratitude for the now, hope for the future, forgiveness for the past)
