Dearest Friends,
This Saturday come and join us for Creating Connections In Integral Community with long time Matrix Leadership trainer, Jack Spivak. This event came about as a result of the great teaching that Amina Knowlan, co-founder and director of the Matrix Leadership Institute and Dr Elizabeth Smith, long-time integral scholar, teacher, and psychotherapist introduced us to at BCIL this week.We learned that Matrix is a pioneer in what may be an important evolutionary emergent in how to create new kinds of open, interconnected human systems where people tune into others' and their own perspectives in a whole and rich way. Thank you, Amina and Elizabeth, for sharing your wisdom with us, and please come back!
So, if you'd like fuller relationships with others in the local integral community, join us this Saturday, 6/21, for a morning workshop.
From MatrixLeadership.org: As human beings we radically redefine ourselves when we awaken from our trance of separateness. When we live and work in interconnected networks or matrices, we harvest our collective intelligence and realize our full potential. Each member becomes a leader and leadership occurs through the relationships between people. Communities and organizations become highly creative, effective and sustainable.
Sounds interesting? Then come and help us try it out! The workshop will be mostly experiential, with a little theory thrown in (we can't help ourselves!).
As a facilitator and trainer Jack brings 25+ years perspective from teaching, living systems research, and bioengineering. With an academic background in aerospace and bioengineering, Jack has led diverse groups since 1975 as a project engineer, an internationally certified technical trainer, and an environmental activist. He is passionately inspired by the realization that creative, loving, effective, and satisfying groups are actually possible. He is dedicated to their emergence in our day to day lives. Living an intimate and comfortable dance with Chaos, Jack describes himself as "a surprisingly human engineer whose best and worst qualities are probably the same." He practices what he preaches daily as a loving partner and father of his son.

Hello Boulder Center. I am from San Diego and this year joined the conference calls about Integral Leadership with friends here and abroad. I will be attending the Third Integral Leadership in Action conference in your lovely city in October. As I'm new to both the Integral concepts and to the GAIA site, perhaps you could tell me if it's possible to post a notice about that event on this site. (October 9-12, 2008). I'm looking forward to expanding my consiousness and going into a deeper understanding of the work of Wilbur and others in October. Many thanks for your response and assistance. Barbara/San Diego
