The Integral wave is vast and diverse, though it is mostly associated with the Northern American community, as well as some integral salons scattered around the world. While it is true that almost all of the juicy integral stuff is going on in the West, it seems important to recognize the trans-cultural nature of the integral worldview, and be regularly updated on the major integral events …

It is not necessary to change. Survival is not mandatory. —W. Edwards Deming
