NSi presents: Third Annual Integral Education Seminar
August 2-7, Whidbey Institute, WA

A 5-day seminar in an incredibly beautiful setting with educators from around the globe–teachers, coaches, workshop leaders, parents and professors who are seeking the necessary vision, skills, and processes to fully serve their students, children, and the world we inhabit.

Featured presenters:

Susanne R. Cook-Greuter is an authority on Mature Adult Development with a doctorate in Human Development and Psychology.
John T. Kesler is a founding teacher of the Integral Spiritual Center and a founding member of the Politics branch of the Integral Institute, certified by Genpo Roshi to facilitate the Big Mind Process.
Miriam Mason Martineau works in private practice as an integral therapeutic counselor.
Terry Patten has worked with Ken Wilber and a core team at Integral Institute to develop Integral Life Practice and has recently finished co-writing a book with Ken Wilber, Marco Morelli, and Adam Leonard: Integral Life Practice.
Craig Hamilton is a pioneer in the emerging field of evolutionary spirituality. Craig is a founding member of Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute, and a participant in the Synthesis Dialogues.
Terri O’Fallon is presently one of three principals for Pacific Integral, an LLC that uses and teaches this framework.

Some of the core questions we will be asking ourselves are

• How can education coherently address the whole human being, a being of body, mind, and spirit, immersed in cultural meaning making, social structures, and natural systems?
• How can we embody an integral perspective in all aspects of curriculum, teaching stances, activities, and assessment?
• In a universe unfolding into increasing consciousness and complexity, how can we work not only to develop current capacities, but also to create the conditions for the emergence of more complex perspectives in the future?
