Urbanism & the Integral Lens of Patrick Geddes
Urbanization is one of the great trends in the history of homo-sapiens and planet Earth itself, and by the end of this century some three-quarters of all people are expected to be living in cities. This has potentially profound implications for the evolution of humans and the biosphere. As such, urbanization is a rich topic […]
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. Although his first book was published in the 80’s, Wilber himself has largely remained a recluse over the years. The only time during which he was most active in public was around the late 90’s – 2006, after […]
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. One of the ways that I have […]

Integral’s Technology Problem: How Do We Grow Next
Integral’s Technology Problem: How Do We Grow Next The modern integral movement has been marked by late-adoption tendencies and the inability to innovate from the same ‘leading-edges’ of consciousness which we ostensibly espouse when it comes to technology. This tendency has endemic properties and must be addressed formally in order to support the involution necessary […]
Summary of research studies on the STAGES model
STAGES is a relatively new developmental model created by Terri O’Fallon, which extends Loevinger’s ego development model and assessment framework. It adds additional stage levels and includes theory of four foundational parameters underpinning all stage transitions, which was inspired by Wilber’s quadrant model. In this presentation we will summarize a number of research studies of, […]
Memes Of Growth
In this workshop, hosted by Laszlo Karafiath and Thomas Hermann, we will combine a timeless synthesis of memes, archetypes and Wilberian structure stages to explore our inner maps. With this simple, yet powerful combination, participants will easily recognise and gain control over the qualities of each stage of development. From magenta, red, amber, orange, green […]
Integrating Slow – the door of transitions
The spirit moves on the ladder. We move quickly in the world from one state to another, from role to role. The world demands fast, quick, or at least dynamic actions, and thoughts; feelings also seem to come and go at the speed of light. In my personal and professional experience, we live deeper in […]
The Future, AI and Consciousness
Only the future will show how humanity will make the transformation to sustainable global civilizations possible, rooted in a mindset of later stages of consciousness, which is the premise for the great transition. In this presentation, I show why current AIs are operating mostly from ego-centric or ethnocentric levels of consciousness and argue why AI […]
