• Heard about the Theory of Everything?
• Or evolutionary enlightenment?
• Tired of the same old left vs right, good vs bad, yes vs no arguments we hear all around us?
• If you are considering attending the Integral Incubator, this might be a great way to kick off the five-day intensive…

The Intro to Integral Theory and Practice is a class for people who want a quick, efficient download on the emerging worldview that seeks to integrate 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 gifts from Ken Wilber’s Integral Philosophy

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. Through the Integral Incubator and other programs, 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 four-hour class focuses on the key element of Integral theory: evolution and Ken Wilber’s five main aspects of reality, commonly taught as “AQAL.” 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!

Intro to Integral Theory and Practice is taught by Jeff Salzman, co-founder of Boulder Integral and leader of the Integral Incubator, and Nomali Perera, longtime integral life practitioner, and certified Integral Coach.

Joyful, peaceful, serene, transparent, interdependent, fully present, timeless, aware … feeling loved, lovable and loving.

Author and dear friend of Boulder Integral, Jim Warner, will guide us on the journey to this Holy Grail state of conscious, full-out loving. Jim will both share his own story and draw from the stories of the thousands of leaders he has guided at retreats and in transition seminars.

Drawing from his recent book, Facing Pain – Embracing Love: The Map to Authentic Living, Jim will present the difficult tradeoffs we face as we strive for both worldly success and intimate connection. These include: success vs. significance; accumulation vs. stewardship; competition vs. compassion; guardedness vs. forgiveness, and control vs. surrender.
