Integral Politics Workshop

How to engage in Politics in an Integral way?

Integral Politics favours a holistic approach. It is able to hold polarizing topics, integrating many perspectives, seeking higher ground.

In line with Dr. Elke Fein’s and Prof. Dr. Karen O’Brien’s work on Integral and Quantum Politics, the Integralisation Method, developed by Integral Politics Switzerland, is a structured collective approach to move forward together. It inspects political topics drawing on the wisdom of body, mind, spirit and soul. It values expert knowledge as well as intuition.

In this workshop, we will practice the Integralisation Method by exploring a carefully selected political topic. Together, we will experience the steps of the method and apply it in a collective process. From this may emerge a surprising, original and creative “third way” beyond polarized forces, leading to the recommendation of some political first step.

Personal political implication may thus become empowering, deeply meaningful and impacting.

Born in Barcelona, Maths and Philosophy studies at York University. Management positions at International Red Cross, Geneva Council and Deutsche Bank. Co-founder of Swiss Alternative Bank.

Naturopath, De-armouring Mind-Body Work practitioner, Jungian therapist, Tantra Teacher and trainer of teachers at SkyDancing Tantra International Institute. Member of Integral Politics Movement in Switzerland.

Currently researching the links between C.G. Jung’s Depth Psychology and Quantum Physics. This is pointing towards a new global Paradigm where Psyche and Matter form a Continuum, where the barrier between “Inner” and “Outer” collapses, where binary thinking becomes multidimensional, thus generating a major human quantum evolutionary leap, underlying the new level announced by Clare Graves and Ken Wilber’s views of evolution.

SUTER, François

Switzerland

Spiral Dynamics was a revolution to me. I used to despair about the state of the world, finding only errors in our past. Suddenly there was this model that showed stages of evolution, with a meaning, with their lights and their shadows, suggesting hope of surmounting our current sufferings and continuing onwards. The Integral Theory also played well with my curiosity, my appetite for enlarging my horizon and my ability at combining seemingly distant fields. The discovery of Jung’s thought several years later gave even more sense to this willingness to connect various fields and topics together, along the path to individuation.

This taste for seeming opposites manifests in my professional life, starting out as an engineer and moving on to being a graphic designer, IT developer and conflict mediator.

After years of inner work and profound transformation, I have found in the Swiss Integral Politics movement a home where I can manifest this back in the outer world.
