Call it reality testing, the search for truth, or an empirical paradigm; we build internal maps when we’re looking for understanding of the universe and our place in it.In one way, the Integral theory of everything is a simply elegant map of reality.In another, this narrative can evoke a deepened perspective that lays nascent in our “emergent unconscious”.
New York Integral (NYi) is a non-profit (501)(c)(3) organization dedicated to furthering the work begun by philosopher of consciousness, Ken Wilber. Our vision is to support personal, relationship, and professional growth, through workshops, classes, and consultations. Our goal is to provide direct Integral experiences by which to teach and embody the Integral model, so that you can apply it to any area of your life.
Integral theory provides a dynamic map of lifelong human development that fosters personal, cultural, social, and global evolution.It’s a map that addresses each of us where we are, moment to moment, in a deeper, larger context. The practices that we provide are more than intellectual exercises. They serve to enrich and illuminate the often-complex Integral theoretical underpinnings in ways that can be applied to every career field, to our relationships both public and private, and to ourselves as conscious human beings.

The Introductory Course consists of 4 weekends monthly beginning Oct. 16 and 17, 2010 All those interested in either Program begin with this core course entitled THE APPLICATION OF STATES AND STAGES TO EVOLUTIONARY SPIRITUALITY.
This course highlights the use of the Wilber-Combs Lattice in illustrating the development of two types of consciousness: that which develops in steps or stages, and that which is aware of what always-already exists.
We next explore the significance of the various vertical fulcrum changes that mark each stage shift, and identify their specific resistances and opportunities for spiritual transformation.
