10,000 Peaceful Warriors
As integral practitioners, we know that who we are is every bit as important as what we do and how we do it. For this reason, integrating embodied presence within our professional practice is vital. Yet how much of our awareness is encoded into our physical being? Are we fully ready to put ourselves on […]
Essentials of Integral Politics
This presentation makes the point for a paradigm shift in politics based on an integral consciousness. Why? Politics as we know it is outdated. It lacks the tools, the operating system and the vision to address the challenges humanity is facing at the necessary speed and with the right priorities today. Its very “operating system”, […]
Exploring Integral Coherence

RecognizIng the neurotic mix of angst and ambition inherent in the proclivity to understand and address the meta-crisis humanity faces, I invite us to let go of the sometimes self-sacrificing and sometimes self-aggrandizing aspects of this endeavor and simply […]
Acting out of spiritual identities’ abundance
Spiritual, spiritual but not religious, multi-religious, trans-religious. What does the increasing abundance of identities demand from individuals, teachers, facilitators and settings to invite awakening?
