11/02/2010: Koan and Mantra: Jun Po Roshi at Boulder Integral

What is the Relationship between Mantra and Koan on the Spiritual Path? Kōans reflect an Enlightened State designed to shock the mind into sudden Awareness.  ["What is Buddha?" a monk asked. "Three pounds of flax!", Master Dongshan replied.]

Mantras are sounds or groups of words that can create transformation.  How can contemplating koans or reciting mantras relate to realizing your true nature?  How do they differ?  What does it feel like to gain insight from one versus the other?  Read more here.

11/04/2010: Why We Disagree about Climate Change: An Evening with Prof. M. Hulme & Prof. M. Zimmerman

Join us for an evening with Mike Hulme, an important voice in the too often overheated debate about climate change. He will be joined by Boulder Integral member, Michael Zimmerman, co-author (with Sean Esbjorn-Hargens) of Integral Ecology.

Hulme is professor of climate change in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, academic home of many leading scientists implicated in the Climategate affair last December. Hulme has publicly criticized his colleagues not only for sopmetimes engaging in unprofessional practices, but also for overemphasizing the importance of the natural science perspective in regard to thinking about climate change.

Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30, Oct 6 & 20, Nov 3 & 17, Dec 1, 2010.: The Evolutionary Enneagram, with Renee Rosario of EnneaSight.

This event is held at Boulder Integral.
In this class we will apply the framework of the Enneagram to the principles of Evolutionary Spirituality. When we view the evolution of individual and collective consciousness over time, we see circles of connectedness and caring expanding. The Enneagram is a powerful tool to navigate this expansion of heart and relatedness, and will be our guide as we explore the territory of our type or survival strategies, the Ground of Being, and their interface. How does the impulse to evolve relate to your type? Does it elucidate the potential obstacles to your evolving consciousness? This class is offered in the Narrative Tradition, where class participants share about their experiences, participating as both teachers and students to each other.  Click here for more details.

11/12 – 14: The Enneagram Relationships Workshop, Keys to Understanding Intimate, Familial, Friendship, and Professional Relationships, with Gayle Scott.

Relationships are one of the most rewarding – as well as the most frustrating – aspects of our existence. Whether in intimate or work settings, the quality of our relationships has an enormous impact on the quality of our lives, our livelihood, and even our health. Read more here.

Beyond Awakening: The Future of Spiritual Practice
Free Teleseminar Series
What is emerging today at the leading edge of human transformation? How can our spiritual practice help us evolve toward planetary citizenship? Join 27 of the world’s most dynamic spiritual teachers for a groundbreaking series of dialogues.

The standard view of spiritual practice is that it involves meditating, praying, loving your neighbor, and so on. And that’s all absolutely true… and always will be. But spirituality must mean even more than that now. Albert Einstein famously said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.” Read more and register here.

2/26/09
Christine Brautigam and Jeff Salzman
Doors open at 6:30 pm
Event from 7:00pm – 9pm

As part of Boulder Integral’s continuing experimentation in community, we are  offering a monthly members-only event on how to live a good, true and beautiful life in a crazy, mixed up world.  Our goal is to “keep the faith”,  to respond less out of fear and more out of conscious intention, and to enjoy the ride as the next horizons emerge  into view.  Above all, to leave stronger and more heartened than when we arrived.

This coming Thursday, 2/26, we will look at what an Integral View shows us about how to navigate today’s  stormy economic and political waters.

We will use an augmented version of the Conversation Café Method (see: http://www.thataway.org/exchange/resources.php?action=view&rid=1583).

Please RSVP as we would like an understanding of your interest and want to ensure that the group is not too big or too small.  Please RSVP to Nomali@boulderintegral.org

Come join in the first couple and let’s see if we can create a repeatable structure that will be used to relate and explore integral topics on a monthly basis.  You/we are the featured speaker/listener and have this opportunity to share your fine self with your integral community.
