The power of culture over our lives is pervasive.
It influences practically everything we do - from the trivialities
of what we eat and how we dress, to the profundities of how we
try to achieve meaning and purpose in our lives.
In our culture, the prevai1ing attitudes, values
and beliefs that guide our collective behavior - from unbridled
materialism to rampant individualism - are devastating the life
systems and human communities of the planet. The American Dream
has become a global nightmare.
But with this crisis comes profound opportunity.
A whole new population - more idealistic and globally
oriented - has
emerged in the United States in the last decade. These people
share a number of attitudes and
beliefs: an interest in self-actualization and spirituality;
a desire to live a simpler lifestyle; a need for society to rebuild
communities; a sense of nature as sacred; recognizing the feminine
as sacred; and a concern for the global environment. Attitudes
and beliefs like these form the basis of what is called integral
culture. A leading study suggests there are about 25 million Americans
who think this way, presenting a real possibility for positive
cultural change. Our mission is to make this possibility a reality.
All culture is ultimately rooted in our understanding
of who we are, where we have come from, and where we are going.
We believe the root of our cultural crises is that our current
answers to these age-old questions are obsolete. What information
- from science, the wisdom traditions, and contemporary thought
- can help us discover more adequate answers?
Join us for Living
on the Edge of Evolution, a participative exploration of how we
can evolve an integral culture.
Living on the Edge of Evolution Program
SERIES - nine weekly meetings and a weekend seminar
devoted to an
introductory look at the significance of the
times in which we live, explored within the context of our evolutionary
story. We will begin an exploration of what it would mean to create
an integral culture.
The program consists of a variety of experiences
and approaches, including lectures, small and large group discussions,
individual and group exercises, reading, daily practices and meditation.
