We are approaching a point in human history where the heritage of human wisdom at the core of the world’s great spiritual, philosophical and ethical traditions will either coalesce into a rich, multi-textured resource for our species’ further evolution, or become a stumbling block that causes conflict, chaos and perhaps extinction. This course integrates the teachings from Ken Wilber’s Integral Spirituality with Wayne Teasdale’s The Mystic Heart, and other contemporary theories to provide a clear picture of what it means to be fully human. The course presents a map organized into a coherent system for study, providing individuals a method for living into the deeper questions and paradoxes of life, and facilitates the emergence of new wisdom.

Some questions for exploration:

How can I apply the Integral Model in my personal life and my role as a leader?

How do I address my assumptions, beliefs, and challenges to my  mental, emotional and conscious growth?

How do I identify and develop multiple intelligences (i.e., cognitive, emotional, kinesthetic, moral, interpersonal, aesthetic, etc). necessary for leadership?

How do I build a larger container within myself to hold ambiguity, anxiety and paradox?

This course can be taken independently or applied to the Conscious Leadership Institute Certificate Program.
