John Kesler has created the richest matrix that covers development through the whole spectrum of consciousness from birth through personal individuation into the heart of Big Mind. Kesler provides exquisite detail within an elegant and comprehensive structure. His polarity map illuminates the still points between polar opposites at 20 or so junctures along the way. By clarifying just what the fundamental tensions are he has deepened our understanding of human development and experience in a profound way. Read more here.

Summer Discussion Series: Current World Events Through the Lenses of Integral Theory & Spiral Dynamics

*Please note: Last two sessions of this series are on Sep. 7 and 28.
If you’ve been wondering about how to put recent world events, such as the current oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, into a broader and deeper perspective, so have we!

Let’s really get into the difficult discussions! Let’s really dive deep! Through a summer discussion series beginning Tuesday, July 13th, we’ll attempt to do just that.  Rather than trying to “fix” the world’s problems or react against them, a broader, integral perspective can help identify their deeper causes and cultures on a systemic level. Potential evolutionary solutions may then emerge from that point of view. Read more here.

About half the time is dedicated to silent meditation; and half is dedicated to various integral teachings and practices. Read more here.
