Boomers built the system. Gen X hacked it. Millennials tried to fix it. And Gen Z? We’re rewriting the whole thing. But this isn’t just a generational cycle—it’s a shift in meaning-making, shaped by evolving worldviews, technology, and crises.

Each generations sees more, feels more than those who came before—yet burn out faster. If the world we grew up in isn’t sustainable, connected, or meaningful, how could we be? We’re not getting weaker; we’re simply experiencing the full weight of a system that no longer works. Our growing discomfort isn’t a flaw—it’s a signal for necessary change.

Like the chicken-and-egg, the world reflects us. A more connected future begins within, and lucky for us, in 2025, it’s easier than ever. Understanding these generational shifts isn’t optional—it’s the key to an integrated world, intergenerational connection, and real transformation.

Are you ready to bridge the gap, or just sit in silence during another family reunion? Let’s talk.

With more and more technological and cultural impacts of the online age taking place, we must not forget to transcend and include the youth who grew up in it. How do we relate to integral? How might you best assist us on our growth? How did the internet, social media, technologies impact us? While generationalism can be the source of further divide, just as with stages, mapping and understanding each generation in context adds to our journey into wholeness. Currently generation Z outnumbered the Baby Boomers, now being the largest generation alive, being one third of the current human population. Pretending to be the spokesperson for that many people is impossible (although I tried). What I will do instead is share some lessons from running a gen Z circling group, our sentiment, relationship to the past, present, future.

In this workshop, hosted by Laszlo Karafiath and Thomas Hermann, we will combine a timeless synthesis of memes, archetypes and Wilberian structure stages to explore our inner maps. With this simple, yet powerful combination, participants will easily recognise and gain control over the qualities of each stage of development. From magenta, red, amber, orange, green and teal, along with their pairs of archetypes from the collective unconscious. Accompanied by the minimal necessary theory, participants will do individual work as well as a shared constellation of this synthesis. By the end, they will have a clear set of embodied abstractions to efficiently continue their growth.
