Integral Journeys
Philosophy

Integral Journeys programs include workshops, retreats, keynotes, and classes that focus on conscious living. The programs encourage a culture of both inner and outer peace through the cultivation of a truly integral worldview; and an embrace of what George Leonard and Michael Murphy call Integral Transformative Practice™ (ITP); and what Ken Wilber and Integral Institute call Integral Life Practice™ (ILP). Integral—all-inclusive, or, more specifically, Ken Wilber's "all-quadrant, all-level, all-line, all-state, all-type" approach; transformative—fostering authentic growth to a new level of consciousness (as opposed to simply a new way to translate a given level); and practice—ongoing, intentional, committed behavior.

Whether offered as workshops, retreats, lectures, or full-semester courses, the programs have their foundations in aspects of both Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, contemporary studies across a broad range of disciplines, Don Beck's work with Spiral Dynamics Integral™ and Ken Wilber's integral vision. In varying degrees, and depending on the desires of participants and/or the sponsor, the programs incorporate a balance of dialogue, meditation, talking-piece council, writing, poetry and lecture/presentation activities. Whenever possible they take place in or with easy access to the natural world. Basic prerequisites are courage, openness, and a sense of humor.

While the specific details (see descriptions) vary according to focus and strategy, an opportunity for participants to look within, the tools for such looking, and resources for ongoing, committed, conscious living are at the core of each program. Please visit the links on this page and throughout the site for an abundance of such resources.
