Comprehensive, inclusive, non-marginalizing, embracing—Integral. A surprisingly simple and profoundly useful theory of everything!
Flow and ease in stressful times. How can we better manage difficult circumstances and importantly quickly learn to react more positively?
Try Leadership Embodiment with Anouk in this video. A bit of training 🙂
You are alive at the most important moment in history. In this interview, Karen O’Brien and Terry Patten explore what it takes to overcome collective trauma and usher in climate solutions. How might our hearts break open and not breakdown? What does it look like when we widen the solution space?
The word integral means comprehensive, inclusive, non-marginalizing, embracing. Integral approaches to any field attempt to be exactly that: to include as many perspectives, styles, and methodologies as possible within a coherent view of the topic—Ken Wilber Integral...
Something woke up within me this last year. Others see it too. A harp in a burnt out bus, a huddle in a Hong Kong street, animal rescue in Australia—many voices speaking of tolerance and hope that will not be silenced by the rowdy few.
Our world is changing. Our thinking patterns are shifting. To answer our pressing emergencies and, fortuitously, engaging in this brings an aliveness like nothing else.
We’re a worldwide civilisation now and can consciously engage in creating thriving, just, sustainable futures for everyone. Yet, sometimes, this seems like a very lonely path…
We hope this site helps us all accelerate positive shifts. Amplification, re-storying and sharing awe…
Our future, ourselves, our planet and our stories, it’s all entangled ― Festina LentÍvaldi*
Hyper-polarized world? No thanks! John Kessler and YOUNIFY are harnessing consciousness development, up-skilling us, for our better angels to emerge.
Our thinking patterns change markedly. We can make mental leaps, hold and synthesise many more perspectives—adult development. This is also known as vertical development.
It matches how our world consistently changes in markedly different step shifts—human development creating benevoultion.
We can forecast a more beautiful future and catalyze it. We’re, universally, selecting emerging synergy; elegantly attracted order; new beneficial properties.
This is a beautiful talk on emergence, its significance and fundamental importance for humanity. Emergence, its connections and underlying science are laid out clearly.
Read on for a life-giving, fount of energy. Love if you like to think about this in terms of what is being created.
Over the past 5 years I've been involved with a delightful group diving into traditionally stuck health system problems. This work is creating holistic positive change assisting individual developmental grown and answering organisational financial and care...
Anyone and everyone connected with sustainability dives straight into a dizzying array of frameworks. If you spend even a short time in this space (or for some like me, a career!) you’ll be swimming through terms, measures and concepts such as: Corporate social...
When we first play with integral quadrants many, I certainly was, are thrilled by integral's explanatory power. We start analysing the world and phenomena. It is exciting -as we do this we can bring great insight onto traditionally stuck and intransigent...
In business, organisations and societies opposites are everywhere. These seemingly incompatible situations are often where we can’t solve a problem without creating another one. That is, there are contrairities to manage rather than problems to solve. There is...
Using subjective feelings while you are investigating and empirically analysing at the same time? Surely that's bad science. Or is it? This blog series is exploring integral quadrants - how these open a world of opportunity on complex issues, as well as ourselves,...
One of the compelling beauties of Integral Theory are repeating patterns, the fractal nature of quadrants, repeating patterns are observable at every scale. This is fundamental and creates a wonderful window onto ourselves, our biases and preferences. It is...
“Hasten slowly” said Augustus. Oh, this is hard. To imagine what can be created, to hold back, to act; to engage means delving into both despair and hope. That’s where we’re challenged to see the powerful in what we do which is always minimal and micro. Feeling adequate in the face of manifest inadequacy. Weaving together the pieces that hasten, slowly and steadily, benevolution.
