Integral Education Seminar: From Cradle to Kosmos August 2, 2009

Integral education stands out as one of the most pertinent and practical means of creating positive change in ourselves and the world. This seminar will bring educators together from around the globe, educators who are seeking the necessary vision, skills, and processes to fully serve students. Integral education is an emerging field, propelled by people who seek to push the envelope of what education can be. The seminar will provide an inspiring environment to meet with colleagues and to network with a growing community that clearly understands that addressing a more complete spectrum of personal, cultural, and systemic realities at play in education is one of the most powerful ways to begin effecting the changes we hope to see in the world.

Some of the core questions we will be working with:
-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 in increasing consciousness and complexity, how can we work to develop current capacities and to create the conditions for the emergence of more complex perspectives in the future?
