Lynn Fuentes

Lynn is a college instructor, educational course designer, and a mediator with a BA, MA, JD, and PhD. An experienced classroom and online instructor, she has designed and taught courses in transpersonal psychology, writing, planning, chronic illness, and conflict management at DePaul University, where she also founded and directed the Chronic Illness Initiative, a program to help students with chronic illness obtain a degree.

A devoted student of Ken Wilber and integral philosophy, she has published integrally oriented essays and articles on conflict resolution and illness management and weaves integral ideas into her course design and teaching. Like Jose, she follows an integral life practice of physical, psychological, meditative, and cognitive development.

Lynn is a trained mediator and has skill with several methods of personal growth including various forms of shadow work, personal inquiry, life planning, and meditation. She has published personal essays, academic articles, and a children’s book.

Lynn has also volunteered in many capacities – with battered women, people in the recovery community, and people with chronic illness – and currently serves on the board of the CFIDS Association of America. Despite her study of many disciplines, Lynn regards her greatest learning as long-term caregiver for severely ill family members.
