Mondo Zen with JunPo Roshi

Thursday, November 13th, 7-9pm
Suggested Donation: $10

Revealing the True Nature of Mind through Integral Zen Dialogue

Rinzai Zen is known for its rigorous practice in attaining penetrating insights into our own True Nature. Even for those who live in monasteries, it can take years to integrate these insights. Come experience a taste of the True Nature of Mind in a single evening! Enter into a group Zen dialogue with Jun Po Roshi and experience Ego Deconstruction which opens you to more creative and fearless perspectives. Taste what Ken Wilber in Integral Spirituality calls Turiya — the Freedom of Radical Emptiness. Learn how “your angst is your liberation” — and embody in your life what Ken calls Turiyatita and Radical Fullness.

The penetrating and enlightening protocols of Mondo Zen will be demonstrated by Jun Po Denis Kelly, Roshi, first dharma heir of Eido Shimano Roshi. Jun Po is Abbot of Hollow Bones Zen. He has returned to the roots of Rinzai Zen and revitalized the Koan practice in a way that is truly Integral, unique and graspable for western minds like ours. Spend a fruitful and humorous evening with Jun Po Roshi and experience Mondo Zen. Join us to learn more about Jun Po’s innovative, Integrally Informed and Integrally Embodied approach to Zen that enriches and deepens any spiritual practice. Come — and One Taste for yourself!

Intro to Integral Theory and Practice

3 Hour Presentation
Thursday, November 6th, 7 – 10pm

  • Heard about the Theory of Everything?
  • Or evolutionary spirituality?
  • Married to a someone who talks about Ken Wilber and the AQAL models?
  • Or are you just bored to tears with the same old left vs right, good vs bad, yes vs no arguments we hear all around us?

Then check out Intro to Integral Theory and Practice, the class for people who want a quick, efficient download on the coolest new worldview in town.

Integral describes a philosophical system that seeks to include the gifts of all other worldviews:

  • The gifts of science and religion
  • The gifts of the East and the West,
  • The gifts of the Ancients, the Moderns, the Post-Moderns

The goal — and indeed the result — of this integration, is a view and a way of living that is larger, deeper, more flexible and wise. At Boulder Integral we recognize this as a new stage in the on-going evolution of consciousness and human culture, and seek to explore and enact it in our lives. We are pioneering the development of various kinds of integral practices, designed to help people become more aware, in touch, and capable of skillful action.

This three hour class focuses on the key element of Integral theory: evolution. We will show patterns of history that make sense of our human heritage, and also deeply inform and inspire smarter solutions to today’s global challenges. We will also map the stages of personal evolution that starts with each of us at birth, revealing insights, and indeed energetics, that accelerate our personal evolution in real time. Soon we’re surfing the rising wave of Emergence itself!

The Presidential Election Support Group

Friday, October 3rd, 7-9pm
Also on 10/30

How can integralists make more sense of the upcoming election? Can we harmonize the conflicting perspectives that are struggling for dominance? Can we passionately take a side without vilifying the opposition (or are they really villains)? Can we see the piece of the truth that each side holds? Let’s give it a whirl!
