It is with deep sadness we announce the recent passing of Rev. Paul Smith who has been leading monthly practice sessions on Integral Life. His sessions were much loved for his profound integral wisdom, his humanity and love. May he rest in God's Deepest Embrace.

Join this session to explore how Integral and integrative perspectives shows up in literature throughout history. We will explore the mapping of Integral Theory onto the art form of the written (and spoken) word--something that Ken Wilber proposed long ago. This group meets every third Tuesday of every month.
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. Practicing together in/as the polarity of knowing and not-knowing builds capacity to turn toward the unknowable, the uncontrollable, and the mysterious as they emerge within and between us in real time.
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.
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.
What is the inner process that moves with us from birth until its culmination with our final breath, and perhaps beyond? Let's embark on a path of meaning, purpose, vitality, and connection as we boldly go from aging to Saging with the wisdom and compassion of Integral Multiperspectivalism.
Have you heard of “Metamodernism” and/or “Metamodern Spirituality“? Do you know what that means? Join this free, 90-minute session to learn about this topic from one of the leading voices of the Metamodern spaces, Brendan Graham Dempsey. Brendan will offer a presentation followed by an open Q&A. We hope you can join!
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!

In this talk, Jeremy Johnson, author of Seeing Through the World: Jean Gebser and Integral Consciousness, provides a nuanced and clarifying deep-dive into the major differences between Gebser’s and Wilber’s respective approaches to integral philosophy.

Integral consciousness leads us into a turquoise psychology, a psychology that includes and transcends previous systems and practices. This is a next level of complexity in psychology—a meta-psychology. A turquoise psychology is fundamentally a form of dialectical discourse—two or more people, stable in Integral consciousness, enjoying the dialectic. Join Dr. Keith Witt to learn more at this Integral Life event for members.
Greg Dember is an author who has been writing and presenting on metamodernism since 2013. But wait — wasn’t metamodernism invented by a guy named “Hanzi Freinacht” in 2017? In this presentation Greg will introduce and elaborate on a broader understanding of metamodernism, commonly used in the academic humanities and in arts journalism, that differs from the Integral-adjacent project you may be more familiar with. This is a free session open to all!

Learning about the stages of development human beings go through as they navigate life conditions and their own emergence, spurs development in the learners and those they touch. How can we do this with a greater degree of compassion, care and discernment? Join Beena Sharma, a long time partner of the integral project, to learn about exciting ways to go deeper into the study and practice of vertical development.
