How Victim Roles Affect Your Life
Victim roles are patterns of subconscious programming that sabotage our sovereignty and freedom and keep us locked in a fear-based, scarcity, 1st Tier consciousness. There are 3 victim roles the majority of humans play: victim, savior, and villain. This presentation will experientially lead you through all three roles with an emphasis on a moment where […]
Entrepreneurship & The Oncoming Triple Singularity
A singularity describes a threshold point from which there is sufficient environmental change resulting in radically different outcomes from prior states. This is what happens in black holes, and this is certainly what is happening in multiple aspects of our reality on earth as we speak. We are observing Kurzweil’s singularity where technology innovations like […]
Updating, Widening & Transcending our “Reality Box”
Our “conveyor belt,” hopefully, is gently pulling us to our next developmental level or reality box. However, it can sometimes slow down or even freeze. To counter this, Dr. Carr facilitates focusing on developing new ways of cognizing, accessing different areas of the brain, integrating the primitive & involuntary, sensing the future & one’s future […]
Integral! Let’s Not Vanish Into Thin Air
Integral Theory, as most of us know it, is a valuable meaning-making tool born of Ken Wilber.

Understanding the World Soul with Integral Theory
I have been pursuing a triple epistemological path during the last 20 years: the first path relates to Rudolf Steiner’s Anthroposophy; the second path has been to renew my understanding of Anthroposophy through Integral Theory; the third one has to do with the epistemology of qualitative research methods.

Transcending Purpose: Purposeless Meaning in Life

The study suggests that adults at postconventional stages of ego development experience and conceive of meaning-in-life in a […]
