COWAN, Jim

United Kingdom

I`ve been at the centre of social and political development in the UK for several decades. In this last decade I have been investigating that past through a growing integral awareness and practice. I published an integral look at Britain`s potential in 2019 (thebritainpotential.co.uk).
I`ve been hosting a UK integrals monthly meeting for 2 years which has been growing integral as I and we.
A major strand for me is where politics has come from and why it isn’t changing fast or well enough. This is being worked on by a small group in the UK with the potential to grow. IEC 2023 is an opportunity to share some of that.
I`ve also practiced Buddhism in the Nichiren tradition, within the SGI (Soka Gakkai International) movement for 46 years. I chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo every morning to ground the entire day.
