Reclaiming the Future with Integral Consciousness

Where & when:

Reclaiming the Future with Integral Consciousness

This presentation explores how Jean Gebser (1905-1973), integral philosopher, provides critical insights for navigating the “meta-crisis” through a phenomenology of time. We will explore how the “structure of feeling” of a post-pandemic world invites us to interiorize a new consciousness of time, and how this new integral time is critical not only for the survival of our species but the flourishing of a regenerative, planetary culture. This presentation will conclude with a meditation on how integral temporics assists us in embodying and living the emergent integral ontology, a form of being present which dynamically opens time to the deep past and living future.
