Creating
the
Future: Our Kosmic Responsibility
"I believe that if we want the world to change in a significant way,
and if we're serious about creating a better future for us all, then
the only way it's going to happen is the only way it's ever happened:
through the evolution of consciousness and culture. For the universe to
evolve at this level, those of us at the leading edge-that fortunate
minority of us who have been blessed with wealth, education, and the
time to consider these higher matters-have to make sure it happens. We
have to be the ones to create the future."

Steve McIntosh
Beauty,
Truth, and Goodness: the Eros of Evolution
According to integral philosophy, evolution progresses as the result of
both “a push” and “a pull.” We can all see how cultural evolution is
being pushed by the pressing need to ameliorate the problematic life
conditions that we face here at the beginning of the 21st century. But
it is also important to recognize how our evolution is being pulled
forward by the “attractors of perfection” we experience through the
values of the beautiful, the true and the good. Indeed, it is the
reclamation of the central importance of these “primary values” that is
at the very heart of the philosophical revival of the integral
movement. This presentation will focus on the theme of the conference
by exploring how the values of beauty, truth, and goodness actually
serve to draw us forward into increasingly more evolved states and
stages.

Diane Hamilton & Jeff Salzman
will co-facilitate two distinct yet
inter-related sessions:
Integral
Leading Through Integral Living
Integral living is an opportunity to nudge any given moment toward
goodness, truth and beauty. In this session, we’ll have a look and
taste of the life we are called to usher in as we ever more stably
inhabit integral consciousness.
Encountering
the Good, True and Beautiful in Community
“We” space is the new frontier of emerging integral functioning. But
what is integral community and how does one create it? What are its
gifts and what are its shadows?

The
Myth of
the Feminine—An Integral and Evolutionary Approach to Gender
Current wisdom tells us that the cure for our out-of-balance
hypermasculine culture is through a resurgence of the feminine.
However, the whole way that we think about gender has been conditioned
by modern structures in consciousness that polarize masculine and
feminine. What would it mean to move beyond that duality? How can a
higher integral perspective enable us to evolve our very experience of
self?

Terry Patton
Integral
Life Practice—A Deeper Cut
Integral Life Practice utilizes Integral cross-training, simultaneous
practices in the Body, Mind, Spirit, and Shadow modules (and other
important modules, as well.) As practice deepens and matures across a
lifetime, two merit special attention—the Ethics and Soul modules. Both
will be illuminated, in a way that reflects on the practice of Integral
Politics. Experiential exercises will help bring it alive.

Integral
Leadership Olympiad
Business simulations and games are used to teach us about various
aspects of leadership (and followership). What happens, however,
when you bring integral consciousness to these learning
experiences? What emerges and what carnage is unleashed?
This session will invite our integral community to tackle challenges
related to decision-making, group process, emotional intelligence,
hidden agendas, etc. In these mini-simulations, people will apply their
integral consciousness to various leadership challenges; using planned,
stop-action reflection and "map" application moments, we will help
people and groups objectify their thinking, emotions, behavior and
group process. Come for the learning. Go for gold!!!

Carter Phipps & Jeff Carreira
What
Does It
Mean to Be Integral?
In this unique exploration of integral consciousness, What Is
Enlightenment? Executive Editor Carter Phipps and EnlightenNext
Education Director, Jeff Carreira, will explore what it means to be
integral from the inside-out. Drawing on a decade of intensive,
intersubjective spiritual practice and exploration, they will share the
ways in which their own experiential discoveries have led them to
integral philosophy, and explain how integral philosophy has, in turn,
enriched their spiritual lives. So what is the ultimate relationship
between theory and practice, between embracing integral philosophy and
living an integral life? This session will give participants new
insight into that all-important question, shining a light on the deeper
layers of the term “integral.”

Creativity
and Integrating Your Shadow
One of the most challenging areas of an individual's journey is how to
open too and integrate their own shadow. Not only our disowned negative
side...but our disowned radiance as well. In this module we will
explore how to use creative awareness and heart centered focus to
explore that which the ego is afraid of. Bring your journal and a
desire to become more skillful. No previous creative experience
required.

Cindy Wigglesworth
Spiritual
Intelligence and its relationship to higher stages of ego
development: a study of possible correlations between the Spiritual
Intelligence Assessment and the Maturity Assessment Profile
This segment will review the model of Spiritual Intelligence and the
assessment (SQi) created by Cindy Wigglesworth, and the correlations
between scores on the SQi and scores on the LDP/MAP created by Susanne
Cook-Greuter.

Optional
Integral Life Practice
Integral life Practice Morning Salutation - Start the day the Integral
way. You are invited to participant in a morning salutation each day
which will follow an Integral Life Practice Framework. The session will
support you in centering your Gross, Subtle and Causal bodies allowing
you to create an energized self. By engaging with the Integral Life
Practice framework the Morning Salutation will invite you to create a
We space that will help deepen involvement within the day’s activities.
Within the Morning Salutation you will be invited to engage with
centering exercises, the Integral Kata, and integrally informed
meditation. Finally the session will close with an invitation to create
a daily personal intention. You are welcome to attend as much or as
little of the morning practice as you like. The Practice space will be
free, open and safe. The practice aims to help you welcome the day
through an integral lens.

Discovering
the AQAL meta-principles of Integral Leadership
Rather than lecturing about the research I have recently conducted on
an integral framework for leadership, I will instead direct
participants in a series of facilitated group activities aimed at
uncovering the guiding principles of a truly AQAL approach to
leadership. The intended result: evoke an emergent understanding of the
theoretical frame upon which the future of leadership will rest through
a process of intentional and exciting group exploration.

Your
World
Changing Idea
One of the markers of Integral Consciousness is the desire to create.
If you’ve signed up for this conference, chances are high that you’ve
brought a world-changing project or idea along with you. This is a
precious, precious gift- yet how do we liberate our path of service and
take our work to the next level? A group of high-level peers who have
“been there” will spend a couple of hours offering each other deep
listening, intuition, analysis, and advice in a structured format. Be
the instrument by which another will receive the one thing they need to
hear. Requirements: A Project, a Presenting Issue, and the willingness
to be open to a new way of being and acting in service of your hearts
desire and the world’s deep need.

Formalizing
the ILiA Collaborative: Collaborate in Manifesting Your
Evolving Vision for Leadership Excellence and Support
Since the first "Integral Leadership Seminar" (sponsored by Integral
Institute and lead by Fred Kofman, Ken Wilber and others, in 2004),
ILiA grew out of a desire on the part of some of those participants to
keep and expand on integral leadership in the lives of those of us who
are practicing leaders of small to large organizations. If you are
endeavoring to continue to learn and deepen our practice and experience
of integral leadership, come to this collaborative workshop on defining
what the ILiA can become for you and the world.

Shift
Happens... in the Territory: Enhancing Integral Awareness with
Gestalt Theory and Practice
As integral practitioners, we love our models and maps. They help
us to find our way, and each other, in this vast Kosmos -- and to
appreciate the view from multiple perspectives. Yet
transformation happens in the territory, not on the map. We are
changed when our experience leads to contact, here and now, with self
and others. In this workshop, we'll explore how a Gestalt approach can
enhance our integral awareness and increase our capacity to meet others
where they are, in the territory of experience. Grounded in
field-theory, phenomenology and the paradoxical theory of change,
Gestalt theory and practice offers a broadly interdisciplinary
framework which can be used to heighten awareness, increase choice, and
support change at every level of human system, from individual to
societal.

Integral
Politics Panel Discussion
"Integral politics" can be defined as the political platform or agenda
of those who share the values and perspectives of the integral stage of
consciousness. This integral politics panel discussion will examine how
these integral values and perspectives can be applied to the political
arena. The panelists will include Steve McIntosh, Terry Patten, Carter
Phipps, and several other leading thinkers on the subject of integral
politics. The session will also provide ample opportunity for audience
participation. With the national election three weeks away, our
discussion is bound to be rich and provocative.

An
Advanced
Experiential-learning Laboratory Adventure in Integral
Intersubjective Exploration: A Realtime Concurrent Inquiry into and
Enactment of "Integral Leadership In Action"
Consider that our
Integral-sourced Light shining
through the "prism" of our integral-sourced Love manifests as
Goodness/Truth/Beauty in an infinite array of displays;
including in the practicalities of Integral leadership-in-action. As we gradually learn to lead more from 2nd
tier's Integral perspectives of consciousness we are nearer to
fulfilling these
burgeoning higher appetites in us for manifesting Goodness/Truth/Beauty. On the practical side, imagine getting meta
to and transcending conventional 1st tier command-and-control
leadership
protocol and decorum for meetings, seminars, or even experiential
laboratories,
and opening into our group's intersubjective 2nd tier/Integral
intention to
co-emerge and co-enact a co-leadership dynamic in our 90 minute session. We can be empowered for this by opening to a
higher/deeper state in our Authentic self, into an ever-emerging
seminal
state of nascent awareness, as a
continuous "becoming-in-the-now". For an
extensive description and preparation for attending
this session,
