Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory has created a road map. Now Terry Patten, Adam Leonard, and Marco Morelli have added a GPS (Global Practicing System) with Integral Life Practice. Travelers on the spiritual path will find this book indispensable.—Brother David Steindl-Rast, Benedictine monk, author of Listening Heart

What if we could draw from the best of the world’s ancient contemplative traditions as well as contemporary psychological and somatic therapies, and weld them into a powerful program for transforming our lives? Now we can, and Integral Life Practice is a happy result of this possibility.—Roger Walsh MD, PhD, University of California, author of Essential Spirituality: The Seven Central Practices

Making Sense of Progressive Politics

Saturday, August 30, 2008
10 AM – 12:30 PM
Suggested Donation: $10 – $20

Anticipating a convention hangover?
Boulder Integral has the cure!

A Conversation with Steve McIntosh and Special Guest Drexel Sprecher

In order to define an authentic progressive politics you must integrate the opposites that define contemporary political debate in a way that is consistent with universal developmental principles. Political theories and causes that claim to be “progressive” or even “transformational” without this integration often prevent realization of the human ends to which their proponents are committed.

In this off-the-record session, author Steve McIntosh will host political philosopher and leadership educator Drexel Sprecher in a conversation about the relationship between developmental theory and practical politics. This conversation will explore the tensions between left and right in the context of universal stages of human development. The conversation will enable you to recognize some of the limitations of the orthodoxies of left and right and identify new and more revealing ways to view current issues.

Drexel will also present highlights of the Common Destiny™ political and policy framework and explain why it is the most promising social contract for the digital age.
