Integral Life Institute
In contemplating contemporary society and the state of the world, integral adult education stands out as one of the most pertinent and practical means of creating positive change in oneself and the world.
Integral Life Institute (ILi) is a school designed to engage, empower, and transform body, mind, and spirit. We will offer educational programs ranging from one-week to three-month intensives in integral development, knowledge, and practice. As such, ILi joins in the emergence of a new frontier in education.
Alive at a providential time, poised between great challenges and opportunities, we will seek solutions and design practical plans that can effect change in an integral way–reaching from the personal to the planetary in scope and content. We will draw on the insight, information, and tools of such cutting-edge social and spiritual thinkers and activists, such as Brian Swimme and Susanne Cook-Greuter. Held in a community of learners, our students will not only attain a realistic grasp of contemporary issues, but they will also emerge into a sense of meaning and purpose.
Our experiential learning programs promote the ability to hold multiple perspectives, which develops more efficient and fruitful problem solving, leadership, and community building. They evoke multiple intelligences – intuitive, contemplative, and interpersonal skills, as well as creative, artistic, intellectual and spiritual faculties. Our programs take place in the classroom and the great outdoors, in community and self, in the interweaving of mastery and mystery.
