If you
would like to participate in the ground-breaking work being
pioneered by Integral Institute, there are several ways you can
become involved.
Training
One is
to enter any of the training programs available and thus begin to
practice an Integral approach in your own life and work. Those who
graduate from various training programs are eligible to become part
of the core team network and thus contribute directly to the
creation and dissemination of integral theory and practice. Please
see
Integral Training for more
details. The number and types of Integral Training will increase
significantly with the launch of the
Multiplex,
so please stay tuned to this site for news of these developments.
Volunteers
If you
would like to volunteer time and services to Integral Institute,
please email us at
volunteer@integralinstitute.org
with any
suggestions about how you would like to help. Although we cannot
answer these emails at this time, we will keep your name on file and
contact you as soon as openings become available.
Multiplex
Paul Tillich once
commented, “What we call the ‘Renaissance’ was participated in by
about one thousand people.”
That is a jolting
thought, but revolutionary endeavors often start in exactly that
fashion, with a small number of evolved souls exploring new
territories of culture and consciousness. The
Multiplex, a multidimensional
matrix of integral learning, is such an endeavor, grounded in
knowledge and compassion, theory and practice, care and justice,
consciousness and culture.
Want to participate
in history? At this time, the Multiplex
itself—the world’s first Integral Learning Community—is under
construction, due to launch in summer/fall 2003. In essence, the
Multiplex is an online geodesic
Dome with some 30 individual websites linked through the Integral
Commons, allowing thousands of individuals from around the world to
participate in a Rising Culture of Consciousness. (Please see
Multiplex for the details of this pioneering development.)
Such an endeavor is
obviously an enormous undertaking. You can wait until fall 2003 to
become a partner in this adventure, or you can begin to help right
now. We can particularly use volunteers (see above); and, needless
to say, financial contributions are always needed and welcomed.
Here’s how to help with that if you wish:
Donations and
Contributions
People
are often uncomfortable with talk of donations. Not us. You can
put your money where your vision is right now. Contributions from
like-spirited pioneers of this emergent Integral Vision support the
various activities described on this site, and most especially, your
contributions support the construction and launch of the Multiplex,
which will be, if you want, the place where you yourself can
directly participate in this great adventure.
So
here’s the details. All deductions are of course tax deductible.
Although we can do no more than acknowledge your contributions at
this time, your name is entered in our files as a Friend of Integral
Institute, and as we near the launch of the Multiplex, you will be
the first to be notified. At this time, your generosity of spirit
will directly contribute to the creation of the world’s first
Integral Learning Community—and we hope to see you there when it
launches…..

The New
Medici
If the
Renaissance was participated in by about a thousand people, it seems
to have been financed by about a dozen.
If you
would like to be a member of the President's Circle ($10,000
up)—please contact
Colin Bigelow
at
Colin@integralinstitute.org. We
make no bones about this, either. Members of the President's Circle
have access to intimate gatherings of the senior members of I-I and
the world's leading integral theorists and practitioners. We work
closely with such contributors in designing areas of research and
application that advance the cause of integral understanding. We
particularly appreciate partners in the President’s Circle for the
significant help that it provides in the construction of the
Multiplex. Ken and other associates of I-I will be glad to talk
with you about this or any other ways that you might wish to help
with the creation of history’s first Integral Learning Community.
Integral Naked
Another way you can help with the construction of the Multiplex is
to join Integral Naked, whose proceeds go toward this endeavor.
Integral Naked is a preview of the types of discussions and
adventures that the Multiplex will offer on a larger scale, with
even more participation by members. Until the Multiplex goes live,
Integral Naked is
virtually the only source of integral conversations available
anywhere, and we hope you will join us in these exciting dialogues.
IntegralNEXT
Integral
Institute has already drawn a large number of rather extraordinary
young men and women—integral youth, if you will—and the future of
I-I lies in their hands. Various Integral Salons are in the
planning, and Integral Discussion Groups are springing up around the
world. The Integral Institute Youth Team, "IntegralNEXT," is
currently planning ways to coordinate and serve these emerging
communities. An iNEXT website is in the works. In the
meantime, if you would like to get involved or simply share any
ideas, please email us at
youth@integralinstitute.org. Although we cannot answer your
emails at this time, they will be carefully read and kept on file.
When IntegralNEXT goes live, you'll be among the first to know.
