A Sky Map For Conscious Integral Organizations

IEC Conference: 2025

To heal our world, we need to shift the paradigm of how and why we work together to something that is more human and whole.

How do we develop new models of working together to meet the challenges of our time? How do spiritual groups and nonprofits get more functional? How do businesses get more heart and soul?

We explore the organizational case study of Clear Sky Retreat Center – a “living lab”, conscious awakening community and non-profit organization.We contrast this with 25 years executive experience and experiments bringing global mindfulness programs to IBM and SS&C Technologies to see if traditional business can grow “soul”.

Using these real-life case studies at IBM, SS&C and Clear Sky we propose a “sky map” for the integral organization of the future. Healthy, human and integral organizations that combine the depth and awareness of wisdom traditions, the passion and engagement of non-profits and the efficiency and innovation of business.
