I have been enamored of Genpo Roshi’s “Big Mind” (http://www.genpo.org/Big%20Mind/) process since I first encountered it on Integral Naked (http://in.integralinstitute.org/) several years ago. I taught myself how to facilitate it long before Roshi began to lay down guidelines regarding who could and who could not facilitate the process. As a result of my ignorance of these guidelines, I have had the good fortune of facilitating the process a...

The seminar will be held here in late October 2007, and will bring healthcare providers, nurses, and administrators for the purpose of learning how Integral Theory can improve the delivery of healthcare. This will be no theoretical fantasy, but a hard-nosed, practical...

My friend and former pastor, Robert Close, sends out a nearly daily e-pistle to his congregation and friends. This morning's derailed a perfectly good idea for a blog about another reading for this weekend's training. His call to seeking the wisdom within is not new, either to him or to me, but something about this Stephen Mitchell translation of the 121st Psalm, which he included in his email, stopped me in my tracks.[img_assist|nid=...
