Integral Community

” Evolving the We “

Join us in exploring and experiencing what integral community feels like, looks like, and what it takes to evolve the collective, both within ourselves and amongst us all. Most of all, to see what potential next steps emerge from evolving the WE.

August 13 – 19, 2012 at the gorgeous Sunrise Ranch in Colorado!

Since its inception as an organization in 2003, Next Step Integral’s vision and mission has been to take that “next step” toward integral consciousness, and then to apply, embody, and fully live it – in all facets and areas of life. We are committed to the work of taking the step, bringing vision into action, moving beyond ideas and discussions and theorizing to actually doing and being this emerging consciousness. Our overarching and central vision is to co-create Integral Community – where integral being and doing happen within an evolutionary context 24/7 — whether while parenting, at work, in relationship, during personal practice, or any activity and situation we may find ourselves in.

Stephan Martineau shares the first glimpse he encountered of what the emergent next level of togetherness might look and feel like.

January 1991. It was around 4 o’clock in the afternoon on day seven of a Vipassana retreat when something happened that would alter my life forever:

A moment, a few moments stringed together, appearing in what seemed to be a gap in time. Moments that changed the course of my life; direction and purpose are clarified and reconfigured. Emerging from stillness, a stillness so deep… I kneel down and drink it; a thirst that has till now not found rest is quenched. Soul cries out a vital yes. Mind discovers peace, finally. Energy tingles in every cell, Light made almost tangible. In these moments Grace offers a glimpse, and a possibility, a possible future, shows itself.

Here are some reflections, images and glimpses of our incredibly rich and heartening seminar where we gathered together this past summer to explore and experience integral community (August 9-14, 2011 at Whidbey Institute, WA). :

* Slide show of our time together (Thanks to Thomas Arthur!)

* Reflections on the seminar by Miriam Mason Martineau

* A segment of Thomas Huebl’s skype talk from Tel Aviv straight to our group on Whidbey Island

Join us this summer 2012 as we deepen and expand this experience!
