Evolving Spirit: Form, Emptiness, and Everything in Between
Join us for Evolving Spirit, a new monthly series that takes us deep into the heart of Integral Spirituality, hosted by Kimberly Theresa Lafferty. Each month, Evolving Spirit will feature intimate and thought-provoking discussions with Kimberly and leading experts, exploring the intersection of integral ideas, personal lived experience, and transformative spiritual practices. From ethics in spiritual communities to psychedelics and stages of development, we will deeply explore the topics that shape our evolving spiritual lives.
Healing Trauma and Deepening Spirituality
Welcome to a monthly series that focuses on trauma and healing through its relationship to transcendent spirituality. Sessions will include silent meditation, journaling, peer-to-peer support, and ample time for questions and answers. Although these sessions will focus on important psychological and spiritual issues, and will allow for personal sharing, the sessions themselves are not intended as a form of psychotherapy and does not substitute for the importance of individual trauma therapy with a qualified professional.
In-Person Meetup: Integral Colorado

These sessions will be opportunities for us to get to know each other through creating a community of support, connection and healthy challenge by engaging in both theory and practice.

S’engager dans la théorie et la pratique intégrales
Venez rejoindre la communauté francophone pour un moment de partage et d’échange sur la théorie et les pratiques de Vie Intégrale à l’occasion de la sortie des nouvelles traductions des livres de Ken Wilber en français. Une rencontre qui s’appuie sur les principes de vie intégrale, permettant des échanges entre participants et un travail sur les pratiques en lien avec les chapitres des livres.
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. 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.
Drawn Into Integral Presence: The Right Brain Path
Inspired by Betty Edwards, Iain McGilchrist, John Vervaeke, and Ken Wilber, this series invites us into a creative flow that cultivates integral presence--and creativity as the erotic pull of emergence itself. This isn't an art class. It is an exploration of intuitive, embodied awareness—essential in times of digital overload, social complexity and every intellectual going on and on about everything that's "meta!" While the left hemisphere's analytical mind is well understood--especially in the Integral community--this journey explores the spacious, meditative realm of the right hemisphere. We’ll keep aside the maps (as much as we can and without denying their value), and venture more into direct presence, play, and the simple feeling of Being—the Territory itself.

Exploring The Embodiment of Turquoise
Join us for a practical, community oriented journey exploring the genuine embodiment of Turquoise in our daily living. What does it really mean to embody such views? Together we’ll take the map provided by the philosophical giants of our time and prior, and look to the territory itself. No matter your cosmic location in this very moment, we all have the capacity to see and share insights together on our unfolding wisdom, growing and evolving together toward the later stages of evolution. Come, join us!

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.

Integral Saging: Developing Personal & Collective Wisdom
In this Integral Life members' forum we begin each session with an objective topic & move into an internal, 1st person exploration to develop greater insights into our inner wisdom. Through meditation, guided reflection and personal sharing as a group, as well as in smaller breakouts, we explore our unique personal experiences that help us embody the Sage within each of us. We apply an Integral lens to investigate how wisdom evolves across our lifespan both individually and collectively.
Meeting The Shadow In Relationships, Aging & Spirituality
Dr. Connie Zweig, known as the Shadow Expert, will lead a transformative 3-part series that applies shadow-work to key arenas of life: relationships, aging, and religion/spirituality. Working with the shadow as a regular practice is an essential part of living an integral life, fostering deeper self-awareness, emotional resilience, and spiritual maturity. Bring your curiosity, an open heart, and an open mind to this enriching series designed to illuminate your path toward wholeness and integration.

Integral Sensemaking for Global & National Events
Sensemaking is how we interpret and give meaning to shared experiences, especially critical in today's complex media landscape shaped by social media and disinformation. The rise of sensationalized, polarized content has strained the socio-cultural fabric, both in the U.S. and globally. This event will explore frameworks for understanding current events through an integral lens, focusing on how individuals and groups can navigate political and economic issues and make rational, prosocial decisions. Facilitators Brandon Nørgaard and Marty Behrens will present key insights, followed by a participatory session for reflections, questions, and collective sensemaking.

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 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.

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.
