Are you a leader? That was a trick question, because we already know the answer. You are. Every one of us is a leader. We may not have the title on our business card, but that doesn't change the fact. Leadership is about influence and we're all in the influence business. If you've been stifling your leadership energy or if ...

“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 ...

Sometimes it feels as if there is no end to the polarization we keep encountering around us. These divisive forces can easily infiltrate and complicate our personal lives and relationships as well. So, what should/could we do as Integralists? In this session we'll explore various tools such as Bubble-Hopping, Inquiry, Polarity Management and Randomization to move toward (hopefully) more critical ...

Warrior Yoga is a dynamic and vigorous form of Yoga that integrates the power and teachings of the martial way into an inspiring movement meditation. It’s a bit like training the martial way without having to get punched, thrown, or arm-barred. The “Warrior” archetype seeks to highlight how the greatest battles we fight are on the inside, while the “Yoga” ...

Any aspect of our past that we haven’t come to terms with affects our ability to see the present moment clearly and to respond in a grounded way. It is like we are looking through a pair of colored glasses that distort reality. It may feel like things look fine, but once you take the glasses off, the world looks ...

In this session, we'll put our focus on practicing the move from Rescuer to Coach. You do not need to have attended last month's session to attend this session. All are ...

Spiritual development is often seen as a solitary affair. Yet we live in community. When we practice together, we open up and focus on the space between us. We will practice a Sufi form of awakening called Sohbet, where we come together and slow down—to what integral teacher Terry Patten calls “super slow motion” — where we notice each sensation, ...

So, you’ve woken up! Congratulations!….Now what? If you’ve had an enlightenment experience, the world may look pretty different to you now than it did before. What does 'being in the world, but not of the world’ look like? How do you live “awake?” Four surprisingly simple instructions offer beginning touchstones for navigating your everyday “post-awakening” life with wisdom and grace. ...

This session is to re-ignite and reset ourselves as the world clunkily attempts to stumble its way back into some amount of "new normalcy." As many of us will agree, what a time this has been. Using the Four Quadrants, let's get together and inquire deeper into what really are our responsibilities and accountabilities as integralists: How has this pandemic ...

The research has made increasingly clear the importance of fathers -- or the masculine role -- in children’s life. But walking the talk of being a good father can look easier than it actually is.
