This talk brings attention to a set of important issues in the Integral Community’s discourse and practice surrounding human development. Broad concerns about quality control motivate a critical discussion about the myths we circulate and the models we hold. Arguments suggest that the Basic Moral Imperative entails the adoption of psychometrically rigorous standards for evaluating people. This frames the introduction of a powerful new approach to researching and assessing development, grounded by a look at levels in the development of understanding Integral Theory itself. When all is said and done it will be clear that there are major problems with the current discourse and practices surrounding development. But there are alternatives! A vision is presented about the possibilities of an organization designed to oversee the construction and dissemination of usable knowledge about human development and to facilitate the emergence of radically new forms of education, work, and life.

Zak is student of philosophy and developmental psychology pursuing a doctorate at Harvard. He is also the Senior Analyst for the Developmental Testing Service, where he works with one of the most sophisticated developmental assessment systems around—a system Wilber has said is “the closest thing we have to a general measure of altitude.” Zak works closely with Howard Gardner, Kurt Fischer, and Theo Dawson, among others at Harvard. He has been called a gifted and entertaining speaker and a talented educator. And has won several awards for his research, including an Intellectual Contribution Award in 2006 from the Harvard University Graduate School of Education and the Best Overall Research Contribution at the 2008 Integral Theory Conference.

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!
