Our Lives hold many tales. Whether they are eagerly unconventional or relatively normal, like hidden gems, these tales provide profound insights into growth and intimacy. Is it a short piece about a walk with a special friend, a secret to reveal, searching for our identity, or making sense of your past, present and future of through an Integral lens? Join this series of memoir writing workshops with Shabnam Curtis, author of My Persian Paradox: Memories of an Iranian Girl.

This group is run by women of Integral Life to gather, connect consciously and support each other around a specific topic, informal spontaneous open discussions, meditations, reflection questions or anything else that feels alive and meaningful. We welcome a generous serving of loving kindness, integral curiosity, your talents, laughter, tears and the potential of sisterhood. Don't forget your tea or coffee!

Join us for a look into the world of chronic illness from the personal trauma and disempowerment of being a patient to the systemic inequities, shadows, and complications of the health care system. We’ll consider how the integral models and an integral consciousness can radically alter the experience of illness and also discover how illness can be a path to personal and spiritual growth.

Integral theory gives us enormous insight into the issues of the day, such as Russia/Ukraine, the culture war, race, politics, the environment, poverty/development, art and spirituality. For over a decade with his popular podcast, The Daily Evolver, Jeff Salzman has sought to bring an integral sensibility to current events, pointing out the updraft of Emergence and how it animates our evolving world and selves. While evolution is beautiful, however, it is not pretty and life provides us (individually and collectively) with plenty of challenges. In these sessions, Jeff will offer commentary and invite questions from participants.
