Catalyzing Coherence as a Movement of Movements

IEC Conference: 2023

As thousands of societal movements around the world increasingly recognize their interdependence and attempt to cooperate, how can Integral consciousness become a force of coherence and collaborative, movement-based action?

Let’s explore how large societal movements like the environmental movement, the human rights movement, the social justice movement, economic reform movements, and the international peace movement are currently tending toward fragmentation and beginning to realize their interdependence, transcend their differences, and cohere into collaborative action. Then, let’s consider how their sub-movements (e.g., climate action, regenerative agriculture, refugee rights, racial justice, alternative currencies) express similar tendencies and opportunities.

Are second-tier leadership capacities and movements like the Integral community especially capable of catalyzing more coherence across and within our movements? How can each of our movements consciously participate as co-creative holons in a unified expression of planetary awakening — a movement of movements?
