Welcome -- We hope to create meaningful relationships & Community- through on-line meetings 

With a quickly unfolding Meta-Crisis/Opportunity upon us ..Our Goal is to build, support and sustain an on-line community of Integral Thinkers & practioners to discuss, work out remotely then implement where we live and work  -- Mirco-Local to Local innitatives -- to first meet our geographical communities's Primary Basic Needs (eg Food, Shelter, medicine, etc), then a Sense of community/Safety to reweave Relationships ..... to build new systems and paradigms. Some working proven ideas --- establishing Time Banks, Tool Banks, Freecycle, Local Community Currencies, etc  -- We are Open to Any and all ideas.... Think of each of us indivually a "White Blood" cell .. mobiziling together we are Gaia's "Immune System" 

 

Introduction to the Integral Theory
The Integral Theory is a comprehensive theory designed by the American philosopher Ken Wilber and which is based on the elementary insights of several major philosophical traditions in the world. The basic framework for the Integral Theory is the Four Quadrant model, or AQAL (an acronym for All Quadrants, All Levels) (see image above). The model describes that we can look at our reality through an individual, a collective, a subjective and/or through an objective lens. These four quadrants all reflect reality in their own unique and valuable way. What is very powerful about the model is that all quadrants must be considered and studied in order to have a complete view on reality.  When we consider the reality from just one quadrant, our view will be incomplete. Often, an issue or a problem in one quadrant is a result or reason of a problem or solution in another quadrant, which had not been considered until that moment.  It is valuable to understand that all quadrants are equally important to fully grasp change and development processes and implement appropriate interventions to reach the desired outcomes. The Integral Theory shows us maps of which aspects are given attention to and which are not within an individual and an organization. It clarifies why things can only be successful when everything and everyone is included.

For Newbies== here is a Short PDF on Integral Theory (which dovetails nicely with Theory U & work of Otto Schamer)
