Exploring the Common Core of Human Wisdom
Spring 2009 dates to be announced, $995

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 clearer picture of what it means to be fully human. The map is organized into a coherent system for study and provides individuals a method for living into the deeper questions and paradoxes of life and facilitating new wisdom to emerge.

Some questions that are addressed in the course:
• How do we apply the Integral Model into our personal lives and leadership roles?
• How do we address our assumptions, beliefs, and challenges to our mental, emotional and spiritual growth?
• How do we identify and develop multiple intelligences, i.e., cognitive, emotional, kinesthetic, moral, interpersonal, aesthetic, etc. necessary for leadership?
• How do we build a larger container within ourselves to hold ambiguity, anxiety and paradox?
