Perhaps the most exciting emergence this year at Integral Life is the new Ken Show series, where every month Ken Wilber and Corey deVos dive deeply into some of the most pressing issues of our time — politics, culture, technology, spirituality, etc. You can find all episodes of the Ken Show here, and this episode about social media, polarization, and political extremism is a wonderful place to begin. Or if you would like to start with a crash course in what it means to think integrally, maybe give this episode a look.

What is the integral community’s unique role in the world right now? Each of us are called to bring “kosmic integrity” into the world, a uniting of integrating perspective and loving presence that can foster horizontal and vertical enlightenment in every person we touch. Listen as Robb describes the three unique capabilities of the very mature human mind that, when combined with integral philosophy’s story of wholeness and its powerful set of distinctions, have the power to liberate those around us.

Gail presents the contours of the challenge that is climate change — namely how to grasp in meaning or action such a wicked problem and hyperobject: something not directly seen and experienced, so radically nonlocal and involving of multiple disciplines, that exists on timeline we can’t easily conceive of, and regarding a future we can only approximate. Making sense of an issue this complex is slippery and plastic, and how we then engage it even more so.

All of us possess these four patterns, and though most of us have our favorites, all four are available to us at all times. Each is good at different things, and here you will learn what each one is good for, which ones you might use or overuse, and how you can tap into any of them at the right time in order to lead with your fullest and most authentic purpose.

Have you ever tried a mindfulness practice, but found you couldn’t stick with it? Maybe you used an app or took a course, but don’t know where to take it next. Perhaps you’ve been meditating for a while, but feel you’ve plateaued, or your practice isn’t addressing real life challenges. Mindfulness can feel like swimming upstream against your own mind. Yet the benefits are clear: enhanced attention, empathy, and resilience, and reduced anxiety, stress, and even insomnia. Unfortunately, too many people don’t find a practice that works for them and their daily lives. This one will.
