Corey deVos

Corey is the editor, designer, writer, and producer of IntegralLife.com. He is also a freelance writer, integral consultant, weekend woodworker, and full time father. Corey has been working with Integral Life and Ken Wilber since 2003, and is responsible for most of the writing, image, and media production you find on IntegralLife.com.

In recent years Corey has also become a prominent host of several content series, including The Ken Show with Ken Wilber, Witt and Wisdom with Dr. Keith Witt, and Integral Justice Warrior with Mark Fischler.

Corey lives in Longmont, Colorado with his wife Angie and daughter Evelyn.

I produce our ongoing content, I find all those just-right images that capture the essence of the practices, perspectives, and presentations we publish. I also edit our audio interviews from their raw state into what you hear on the site. I then wrap some pretty-but-maybe-sometimes-too-lyrical words around the whole ordeal. Then I deliver the week's offerings to your inbox, all in hopes that all of this has somehow made your day just a little bit brighter.

I also built the new IntegralLife.com website, and manage the the site technology behind the scenes.

Now you know who to blame.

What is art, at its most fundamental level? This is one of those perennial questions that we have been asking and re-asking at every stage of the human journey, from the first cave drawings all the way to the emergence of sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms like MidJourney that are once again blurring the lines between art, beauty, and perspective and forcing us to find new ways to answer this timeless question. Watch as Ken and Corey take a fun and fascinating look at the intersection between art, semiotics, and technology.

In Pursuit of Wholeness: Making Room for Everything

This notion of holons — the idea that the universe is fundamentally made of whole/parts within whole/parts within whole/parts, turtles all the way up and turtles all the way down — this isn’t just important in a theoretical or philosophical sense.

An Integral Understanding of Narcissism and Gaslighting

In this episode, Dr. Keith and Corey take a careful look at the strategies and intended results of gaslighting (the effort to make you question your very sanity by convincing you that your memories and perception of reality are somehow incorrect, inconsistent, or unreliable) in our personal and professional relationships, as well as in media, marketing, politics, and society at-large.
