This brief document summarizes how the quadrants of Integral Theory and other elements have been applied at the Permaforest Trust. Using the AQAL framework has resulted in increasing the awareness and effectiveness of Permaforest participants, enhancing group dynamics, and creating both the space and language to reflect on self, community, and nature.
