Free to Members

Thank you to all of you who attended the first salon. It was an enriching experience in both community and inquiry. Our exploration continues. The next one is about Integral Livelihood and what is the interplay between living an integral life and taking care of everyday business and long-range personal finances. The specific discussion topics will arise from the interests of those of you who attend and participate. You and your interests and insights are very much appreciated and welcome. Topics of this salon’s inquiry are to include:

• What is an “integral livelihood”?
• How does living authentically, consciously, ethically, and integrally get challenged during hard times, particularly when one is self-employed?
• How about when one is “employed” in a highly amber/orange field and subject to unethical stereotypical behaviors of bosses, peers, and the system itself?
• How does one honorably swim in the amber/orange/green waters without feeling lost?
• How is the economic crisis effecting people’s livelihood?
• How does the integral map help with pressures of being the sole breadwinner? How about pressures of living integrally in partnership with a breadwinner?
• What do the “locks and levies” look like from green to teal and how might that play out in the livelihood arena?

No RSVP necessary this time, we are going to let it flow. Due to our two hour window, we will break into smaller groups as is appropriate and utilize the Open Space Technology’s “Law of Two Feet”. Welcome and please note the date change.
