Integral Life Institute – A Learning
Community
Our students will live and learn
together for the duration of our programs. They will live in residence–in
separate rooms to facilitate a healthy balance of individual and group time. We
are still in the process of seeking out appropriate facilities. Our criteria
include that the school grounds are calm, serene, and beautiful with easy
access to walking trails; and that there are places to sit, reflect, discuss,
meditate, sit, and meet that are located away from the bedrooms. Meals will be
enjoyed in common. The food will largely be vegetarian, but will be tailored to
accommodate varying students’ needs.
We recognize the importance of being enfolded in a supportive and inspirational environment. Living together in community throughout the courses will greatly inform and deepen the educational experience. It will provide a powerful catalyst for inner knowledge and transformation, as well as an opportunity for new levels of unity and integrity to arise, both for oneself and the collective. Integral Life Institute gives students the chance to become the change they wish to see in the world.
In a vital community of learners our students will look at the myriad questions, concerns, hopes and visions held individually and in common. We will be looking at subjects such as:
· integral mediation
· non-violent authentic communication
· conflict resolution
· collective intelligence
· embodied learning
· integral lifestyle
