Integral Education/Integral Ecology-Sustainability Seminar August 3, 2010

Tue-Sun, August 3 - 8, 2010 (3pm Tuesday to 1:30pm Sunday)

Deepening our Practice Through Integral Awareness

August 3rd to the 8th, 2010 at Mount Madonna Retreat Center, Watsonville, CA

Integral education stands out as one of the most pertinent and practical means of creating positive change in ourselves and in the world. As educators we will explore how we can deepen the necessary vision, skills, and processes to fully serve students and the world that we inhabit.

Integral ecology provides a multifaceted framework for engaging fully with our human surroundings and the natural world in a way that allows both to flourish and shine. As ecologists, we will work with our ability to identify and use understanding of multiple perspectives across many levels, bringing energy and vision together to make a real difference in the world we inhabit.
The integral framework offers profound tools for evolving our practice in all fields, allowing us to step into a larger universe of awareness in our work in the world. This seminar offers an opportunity to both experience and learn about embodying an integral perspective through a deeper understanding of integral theory and its application in the areas of ecology and education.
