The Meta-Practice: An Embodied Approach to Cultivating Authentic Interaction through Perspective Training
The crucial challenge in cultivating truly authentic interactions with others is our under-exercised and sometimes underdeveloped ability to fluidly and accurately take perspectives in the moment-to-moment flux of relationships.  The Meta-Practice seamlessly weaves three hours of skillfully moderated interpersonal engagement with periods of precisely guided perspective training that focuses on the specific moments generated between individuals.  It draws on engagement techniques ranging from method acting to gestalt, and is grounded on cutting-edge Integral theory including the most sophisticated perspective-mapping currently available.

And, best of all, every aspect of this theoretical grounding remains where it best serves this work: in the background. The work is focused exclusively on embodied practice and meaningful interaction, so anyone can benefit from The Meta-Practice’s ability to help them: understand the dynamics of complex perspective taking, deepen their awareness of the perspectives taken by self and others, foster an accuracy of perspective, and cultivate an embodied integral skillful means. If you are interested in developing the ability to cultivate authentic interactions through enhanced perspective-taking ability, join us for this incredible workshop!

Awakening the Evolutionary Impulse
Join What Is Enlightenment? magazine's Executive Editor Carter Phipps and EnlightenNext Education Director Jeff Carreira for an illuminating journey into the development of a new integral spirituality. In this day seminar participants will have a chance to gain a rare 360 degree view of a new integral, evolutionary spirituality. The day will unfold in three parts. In the beginning session, Phipps will guide participants through the spiritual and philosophical context of evolutionary spirituality, bringing alive in simple and accessible terms the powerful teachings and perspectives of great integral pioneers, from Sri Aurobindo to Teilhard de Chardin to Ken Wilber, setting the table for the session to follow.

In the second part of the day, Carreira will bring his inspirational teaching style to the personal and practical sides of evolutionary spirituality, sharing his unique distillation of Andrew Cohen’s teachings of “evolutionary enlightenment”.  This session will highlight the transformative power of a genuine integral, evolutionary spirituality and give participants a chance to bridge the gap between powerful theory and personal transformation.
 
In the third and final session, Phipps and Carreira will lead an experiential collective discussion. This session is designed to give participants a chance to experience for themselves the power of the evolutionary impulse, and the unique intersubjective or collective nature of 21st century spiritual practice.
