Integral Thinking: Three-Day Explorer

"It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new man, it’s a new woman. If you want to stand at the leading edge, and push into territories of your own deepest and highest possibilities, changing the world as you do...”
— Ken Wilber 2006

Integral Thinking as applied to Values, Leadership and Change

Overview
This 21-hour/3-day integral experience is designed as a deep exploration of the core theory of integral thinking, its origins, and application to individuals, organizations, cultures and communities. You can expect:
  • An enhanced ability to deal with complexity at every level of business
  • A greater appreciation for whole-systems thinking and how it applies to intuitive and integral leadership
  • An overview of global challenges facing businesses today and how you are part the solution for a sustainable world
  • A 30-minute coaching session with a master practitioner in integral application
  • Learning instruments include onlinePeopleScan and onlineCultureScan
Curriculum
This special Three-Day Explorer program is designed for individuals who wish to live their lives to the fullest potential. The three day program will delve deeply into a comprehensive and practical ‘Integral Template’ that is built upon the work of:
  • Clare W. Graves (the Graves Technology)
  • Dr. Don Beck and Chris Cowan (Spiral Dynamics)
  • Ken Wilber (Integral Psychology)
  • Dr. Don Beck (Spiral Dynamics Integral)
  • Christopher Cooke, Integral Thinking program leader


This program offers a comprehensive appreciation of an ‘Integral Approach’ in a manner that has immediate impact. Using personal data gathered with web-based instruments, the program offers a personal exploration of yourself and the society in which you operate.

The Three-Day Explorer program demonstrates that an ‘Integral Perspective,’ and the associated body of wisdom, is crucial in understanding how we think about, and respond to, the increasing intricacy of life in all contexts. The framework offers a fresh, powerful, verticality and holographic approach to problem solving, change, and transformations.

Participants will explore the lineage, core principles, ‘value-systems’ and other ‘psychological capacities’ that influence all that we do. Working with the rich awareness of deep human change characteristics, this program offers new guidance to personal, organizational, societal, cultural and systemic change. The program is designed to allow each participant time and space for personal integration and their consideration of how ‘Integral Thinking’ can be applied in their lives. Expect insights, inspiration, and many new ways of looking at the world.

Ken Wilber offers an invitation to all who wish to engage Integral Thinking: “It’s a new day, it’s a new dawn, it’s a new man, it’s a new woman. If you want to stand at the leading edge, and push into territories of your own deepest and highest possibilities, changing the world as you do...”

— Ken Wilber 2006
