Ken Wilber once said, “It is lonely at the top”. By “top,” he meant the higher reaches of the developmental stages where there are fewer and fewer self-identified integral folks…like us! He encouraged embracing this evolutionary space with both pride and humility. Let’s face it… the integral community is tiny. We aren’t always surrounded by a like-minded and like-hearted integral ...
Join this session to meet the maker of the movie, Grace and Grit, Sebastian Siegel, in Q&A with Nomali Perera, followed by a session of Integral Life Practice. Inspired by one of Ken Wilber's most beloved and acclaimed books, Sebastian Siegel set out on a decade-long journey of dedication and commitment, ultimately, to Love. Let's hear directly from Sebastian about ...
Feelings are the communication of life. They make us feel alive. When feelings can communicate their messages, we can act accordingly, but we lose their wisdom when they are blocked and suppressed. In the interactive Unity Within practice, we let feelings speak in the first person to distill their data to us using the Big Mind Method. In each session ...

“We are leading in uncertain times:” it’s become a meme. And it has become our reality. A reality that, as leaders, is our responsibility to help our associates navigate. How do we do that? How, in the time of COVID and intense political unrest, do we keep our workplace culture from devolving into a morass of drama and victimhood? Join ...

This session has been cancelled. Stay tuned for rescheduling! If you are an Enneagram 3, you likely see yourself as incredibly self-sufficient. In fact the idea of being “needy” may feel abhorrent. Let’s explore how this pattern keeps us stuck in overdrive, overwhelm and overcommitment. Join Lisa for a monthly facilitated practice group designed specifically for Enneagram 3’s, where we ...
In our previous session, we explored the Karpman Drama Triangle roles of the victim, rescuer and persecutor and David Emerald's Empowerment Dynamic Roles of the creator, coach and challenger. In this session, we'll put our focus on practicing the move from Victim to Creator, a shift that transforms one’s full playing field. You do not need to have attended last ...
The Ladder doesn’t go anywhere. The race isn’t real. The things we have are not as important as the grooves we carve. Deep down, we know this. Yet, we do nothing. We’re called to something more in our life, yet we’re anchored to the life we have. Most of us would prefer to have a calling, but we’re unwilling to ...
In this session we will explore a profoundly integral and embodied approach to the sign of the cross through both lifting up to evolution and plunging into the depths of involution bridged by Sacred Love. We will be joined by Rollie Stanich, long-time Integral practitioner and author of the recently published book, “Integral Christianity: The Way of Embodied Love.” Meet ...
A revolution in the understanding of the 3 centers: A slow, fine-tuned way of being with self and others. We are deeply conditioned by the environment in which we live which is filtered through the 3 centers of our human organism: Mental, Emotional and Feeling/Physical. Given our Enneagram patterns of attention, emotion and behavior, we overuse one of these centers, ...

THIS LIVE EVENT HAS PASSED. VIEW THE REPLAY BELOW. What do you really want? Is there any part of you that answered: “I don’t know”? How could that be?

Last month we explored abortion. This month let us dip our toes into Critical Race Theory (CRT), yet another hot button issue in the US. Across cultures, this theme could be a close cousin of the over-all topics of race, immigration, feminism, etc. So, let’s jump right in, shall we? These topics can contain a lot of heat. Our time ...
There are several triads imbedded in the Enneagram. The triads are important for transformational work as they specify where our chief imbalance lies. The triads represent three main clusters of issues & defenses of the ego-self, and they reveal the principal ways in which we contact our awareness & limit ourselves. In this session we will explore the most basic ...
“The Harmonic Triads tell us how we cope with conflict and difficulty: how we respond when we do not get what we want, and they reveal the fundamental way that our personality defends against loss and disappointment.” – The Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso & Hudson In this session, I will provide a short introduction to how each of ...
