We don't have a clear cut agenda for this online gathering on the night of November 5th, but if you feel that it might be valuable and/or fun to connect, join us! Robb Smith, CEO of Integral Life and Institute of Applied Metatheory will join us for sometime.

The View From Somewhere: A Conversational Introduction To Integrative Meta-Studies
This series of conversations between Mark Edwards, Bruce Alderman and audience participants will provide an introduction to the field of planetary meta-studies. Planetary meta-studies is a big picture field of social inquiry, a kind of Earth-system social science, that critically engages with and draws on integrative models and metatheoretical perspectives to study the Earth system in all its majesty, mystery and complexity. In particular, the series will consider the global metacrisis and will offer some avenues for working with the personal and societal challenges that the metacrisis presents. Click to learn more.

Uncertainment Lounge: Embracing the Unknown
Uncertainment Lounge is not a relativistic refuge from truth-seeking or certainty, nor a panacea, or a therapy, but rather a practice space for embodied participatory knowing.

Integral Jewish Meditation (FREE): Iyun Ayin, “Immersion Is Spaciousness”
Spiritual awakening is the realization that you are far more than your thoughts and feelings. Beneath your personality, there’s a radiant field of awareness, free from negativity and connected to the aliveness of the present moment. These sessions begin with learning a text from the traditional weekly Torah reading, followed by chanting and Integral Jewish Meditation. This is followed by Q&A, sharing, and dialogue.

Experiencias De Consciencia Integral
Imagina que tres personas ciegas encuentran un elefante y tocan distintas partes de su cuerpo. Uno recorre con sus manos la trompa, otro la cola y el tercero el torso. Si después tuvieras la oportunidad de pedirles a cada uno que describiera lo que es un elefante, ¿crees que sus descripciones se parecerían? Cada uno hablaría desde lo que conoce y es capaz de percibir, ya que no tienen forma de saber que todas son partes de una misma cosa. Usualmente así nos movemos por el mundo, partiendo de descripciones que solo tienen que ver con nuestra única perspectiva.
Integral Men’s Group
A monthly, 2-hour deep dive! PLEASE NOTE: This group requires on-time attendance, and will be closed after 10 minutes to maintain a smooth container. Join evolutionary men's guide Jason Lange for an experiential men's group. Get present with yourself, connect with other men, and come away with more clarity about what's ready to happen next in your life. The session will include some light embodiment practices, individual check-ins, breakout rooms to go deep with another man, and space for a few men to get deeper support from the entire group. This will not be a conceptual or teaching-oriented group - your lives will be the focus!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I join a session?
As long as you are a current member of Integral Life, simply login and visit the detail page of the session you’d like to join; you can access session detail pages on the home page or on the main Calendar (see top of the site navigation). You can quickly and easily add sessions to your personal calendar using the links provided inside each Practice Session (Google or iCal). A button to join that session will be live 15 minutes before the session begins inside the session details page. Also, be sure to set your time zone in your account settings so that you always see each session’s start time in your local time.
How are sessions organised? Do I need a camera and a microphone?
Practice Sessions are designed to be safe, confidential containers for practice and discussion led by Practice Leaders and amongst other members. Having your camera on and your microphone working is an important part of creating the right experience for everyone, though it may not be strictly mandatory in every case (it is left to the Practice Leader’s discretion).
Why don’t you record / make any of the session recordings public?
This format of ILP is designed to be a live, confidential container for practice with other people. Members rely on this policy to feel secure they can show up fully.
Can I participate in some practice if I missed the previous sessions?
Yes! All Practice Sessions are available to all members at all times.
Should I participate in the same practice session more than once?
Yes! Building new mental, emotional and behavioral habits takes time and repetition, so we highly encourage you to attend as many of the same Practice Sessions as you can until you feel like you’ve built the skills and the transformation within you has occurred.
Are there any guidelines or rules I should know before joining any of the sessions?
Over the years of our own practice we have collected a set of guiding principles that can help you get the most of the live sessions (click the image below):
What happens after my $1 trial expires?
You will be charged at the regular monthly membership rate. You can cancel or switch your membership at any time.
Can you organise more sessions for people outside of US/Europe timezones?
We are trying to schedule sessions to meet the needs of as many people as possible, but even in the United States, where a lot of our members reside, we have to cut back on Practice Sessions that are not well-attended. So we’re balancing a diversity of topics and times with the need to make sure each is well-attended enough to make the entire offering sustainable. We have consciously designed ILP’s timing to try to make some sessions available at convenient times from East Asia to London to Sydney.
