An Invitation for any integral practitioners amongst us...

Sat Feb 25 18:34:50 PST 2006

Karen,

Please don't apologize for your email to Allison, it got my attention
and I too am interested in creating some virtual space for all the
emerging Circles to connect and cross-pollinate. A group of us from the
Recent Changes Open Space in Portland are actively working on this now.
You can join us online at:

Workspace:
http://www.omidyar.net/group/foodchain/ws/emergingfuturesfoundation/
Discussion Group: http://www.omidyar.net/user/u284289309/news/16/

Right now it looks messy, however because we are organizing very
quickly.  Michael Hermann has been a part of our uplift (not so much
online) but has worked with us now through 3 open space events since
July 2004.  Ted Ernst is one of our initiative organizers.  

How about a phone connect to meet.  You can reach me in Nevada at
775.753.8572

Anyone else who is interested please in too!

Sincerely,

Julie Caldwell

Emerging Futures Network

Hi Allison,

Thanks for your message-so sorry that the distance prevents a your
participation, but I really appreciate your interest and would be
delighted to connect virtually.  Also, if you have an interest in
hosting a Circle there (assuming that others there might have an
interest), do let me know-I'm envisioning eventually creating some
virtual space for all the emerging Circles to connect and
cross-pollinate, but it's still embryonic at this stage. 

Your thesis sounds fascinating.and Ortho-Bionomy, I have heard is sort
of like the Aikido of bodywork (haven't experienced it myself, but I
trained in acupressure for two years, and met some folks who had
benefited from this work) .would love to learn more about both as you
are inspired to share.  You can reach me at: Karen at luminacoaching.com. 

Warm regards,

Karen

Dear Karen,

What a wonderful invitation! Thank you for extending it.

The theoretical underpinning of my PhD thesis (presently entitled:
'Embodied Relativity') relates to integral consciousness.

I am especially interested in Jean Gebser's writing as it relates to my
gentle bodywork practice of Ortho-Bionomy.

So I would love to join your group, except for the issue of distance - I
live in South Eastern Australia - and I rarely travel.

If I can 'virtually' meet with you in some way, that will  be great for
me.

Warm regards,

Allison.

Greetings All,

I am writing to invite you those of you who may have an interest to join
an iPraxis Practitioners' Circle, a series of monthly gatherings of and
for integral practitioners to awaken, cultivate and contribute to
individual and collective integral practice (please visit
<http://www.luminacoaching.com/iPraxis.htm>
http://www.luminacoaching.com/iPraxis.htm for more details).  Integral
practice as I am defining it is a practice that is essential for
wholeness for ourselves, our organizations, our communities, our
ecologies, and our world.  This may be informed by the work of
theorists/practitioners such as Sri Aurobindo, Jean Gebser, Georg
Feuerstein, Ken Wilber, William James, Robert Kegan, Jenny Wade, Michael
Murphy, etc., or simply grounded in your own experience of what it is to
be an integral being in the world. 

What is most essential to me in extending this invitation is that those
of you who choose to come have a genuine commitment to awakening,
cultivating and contributing your knowledge, experience, and resources
to grow within an emerging community of practice-that you want to
broaden and deepen who and how you are in your integral practice-and
that you are willing to offer yourself and your own practice in service
of broadening and deepening the larger community of practice in service
of broadening and deepening our world...

I realize that some of you may not be interested in integral practice.
Others of you are far from Bainbridge Island and cannot commit to such a
local endeavor, and that still others of you are already participating
in other groups that may fulfill this purpose for you and that you may
not feel called to join this particular manifestation of the larger
field of integral practice in the world.  However, I invite those of you
for whom this is true to participate in Spirit, to hold the space for
another group to form, and hope to find ways to cross-pollinate the
fields within the Field as we are mutually moved to do so. 

This current Circle is limited to 12 participants.  Please let me know
if this is of interest to you.or if you have an interest in hosting a
Circle in your area.  I would love to continue learning with you in this
latest context and would be happy to provide any additional information
if you're interested.

With love and light,

Karen
