Jean-Claude Pierre

On November 25/26 2014, the 3^rd international Taoist Forum, held in Longhu mountains, Jiangxi province, China, gathered some 600 participants from 27 countries. After a bit of history about this forum, its aim and a few words about the choice of this holy place and breathtaking surroundings, I will discuss the key themes of this event and share with you some personal …

So it’s over now. We did it. What a blast, what a joy, what an amazing conference experience this has been! What a ride!

Let’s rewind the tape right back to the beginning. Where is the beginning anyway? It seems arbitrary for me to pick up the story at any point since this event felt so much like a culmination of …

A Personal Review

Donald Clark

Over the weekend of September 12th to 14th, I attended an Alethic Living retreat run by Gary Hawke. This is the third year I have attend a weekend retreat run by Gary, each year he offers a deeper exploration of how a metatheory that links Wilber, Bhaskar, Laske, and Levinas can help expanded the connection to our pulse of freedom.

Each year, scholars from business schools around the world gather to share our research and explore new ideas and approaches in management, leadership, entrepreneurship, strategy, ethics, organizational change, and more. This year the conference hosted over 10,000 academics who attended over 2000 different sessions, representing up to 100 different presentation sessions at each time slot(!). Although such a convocation is impossible to summarize, my particular focus—emergence and leadership—led me to a half dozen panels that were very intriguing. …

He was the main organizer of the first Integral Europe conference in May, which drew over 500 people, and has for some years been leading the Integral Academy in Hungary, his homeland.

Bence also lives part time in the Bay Area. Some of you may remember that he gave …

For the sphere of integral leadership, it was certainly is the season for international conferences to be jolly at in France– generally listed as the world’s top vacation destination, with more that 32 million people visiting the capital last year.

I’ve attended four unusual conferences in the past two months that demonstrate the wide range of sophistication, currency and effectiveness of the …

Huntington’s Disease Survivor Millis Mershon and Caregiver Robert Wayne Johnston

By Way of Introduction

This sketch is intended as an introduction to the new therapy my wife Millis and I developed to treat her gene-driven Huntington’s Disease (HD). It is based mainly on Bruce Lipton’s pioneering epigenetic research; we call it Integral Epigenetic Love Therapy 24/7. After two and a half years of intensive application 24/7 we report that our therapy has reduced her heretofore thought incurable HD, inherited from …

I had the opportunity to spend two days in Phoenix, Arizona at an exciting event introducing the first nine University of Phoenix Research Centers. I thought I’d share what I thought were the most relevant highlights with you. My focus will be on the intended contributions the research centers will make to the growth of scholarship within University of Phoenix.  Before starting my review of the event, however, I’m going to introduce why I was there and what …
