Karma and the Quadrants:
Reflections on a Presentation to iNYC
by Jordan Schachter

I have been attempting to share for this publication a summary of my PowerPoint presentation. The presentation is designed to move Integral people beyond Yellow to Turquoise. The challenge is that Yellow is about rational. My re-telling of Turquoise is post-rational.

Higher Education and Bad Practice
by José van den Akker

Abstract

Universities. And What about Miscommunication and Accountability?

In 2009 at the Integral Leadership in Action conference, I was a panel member on the pre-conference discussion “The Frothy Edge of Integral Leadership”. The consensus of the panel was that we have made the 50,000-foot altitude now we need to begin the work of actualising an Integral World.

Some Questions About Europe
by Dorothea F. Zimmer

Thinking about how best to express the multitude of my thoughts on the topic of the future of Europe in a short article, I frequently step outside into the sunshine to pick the old leaves and blossoms from my plants on the terrace. As often, I am amused by the symbolic nature of my actions: removing the old that wants to die, this way making space for the new. My body carries …
