Meaning Conference 2010

The International Network on Personal Meaning (INPM) is pleased to announce the 6th Biennial International Meaning Conference to be held August 5-8, 2010 in Vancouver, Canada. The main conference theme this year is:

Creating a psychologically healthy workplace: Meaning, spirituality and engagement

INPM brings together a diverse group of the world’s leading thinkers, research scientists, and professionals to tackle the challenge of creating positive organizations that can flourish and thrive in a difficult and uncertain economic time. The 2010 meeting in Vancouver will adopt a strengths-based framework for understanding how to develop the full potential of people and the organizations in which they work. Examples of “psychological capital” to be examined include meaning, spirituality, creativity, trust and authentic leadership. Consistent with previous INPM meetings, the 2010 conference will place a premium on providing delegates with opportunities for active and extensive interactions with speakers and other delegates. Through the principle of collective strategic networking, we hope the conference will facilitate a new vision for the 21st Century and help define what it means to be a psychologically healthy workplace.

Through invited addresses, paper and poster presentations, workshops, case studies, and open sessions, a wide range of workplace issues will be explored. Submit a 300-word abstract to Dr. Paul T. P. Wong, Conference Chair (DrPaulWong@Gmail.com) before April 30th, 2010. Graduate student submissions are encouraged.

 

Spiral Dynamics Integral

Genes, Brain and Culture –
The Clare W. Graves Bio-Psycho-Social Connections

The Embassy Suites-Outdoor World, Grapevine, near the DFW Airport, Texas.

Graves was the first theoretician to really stress the impact of biological factors on human development – clearly designated by the bio (for the chemical, neurological, and organismic systems) in his term “bio-psycho-social.” This reflected his insistence on the importance of a multidisciplinary, multidimensional approach to understanding human nature. It was a bold approach for its time, and few paid attention back then or even understood what Graves was saying. Yet, of all the developmental models then and ever since, his work stands out as being the most predictive and comprehensive.

The 2010 SDi Level Two Confab certification event on “Genes, Brain and Culture” represents the first time in both the Spiral Dynamics and Integral worlds where the focus will be on the bio and how it connects to the Gravesian psycho and socio.

We warmly invite you to join us at this special event to…

• explore what is known about the genetic contributions to the formation of value systems as the environment and our DNA codes co-emerge
• track the work of current pioneers in the field of energy systems, and
• scan for developments in current mind-brain research and show the crucial connections.

don’t miss our week of dynamic and engaging learning, during which we offer these certification courses:

• SDi Level One Foundations: May 24-26, 2010
• 11th Annual SDi Level Two Confab: May 27-30, 2010

Berlin Healing Event – Truth Heals
65 years after the Second World War – from trauma to a new dynamism of responsibility with Thomas Hübl, Andrew Cohen, Ken Wilber*, Tom Steininger, etc.

Date: Healing Event, Saturday, 24th April, 10 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Place: FU Berlin, Max-Kade-Auditorium Henry-Ford-Bau, Gary-Str. 35, 14195 Berlin

Approximately 55 million dead people, in addition 6 million murdered Jews. The Second World War has left innumerable scars – also in the collective subconscious. Thomas Hübl is convinced that large groups can amplify the process of becoming more conscious with an unimagined effect of integration. Therefore, for the fourth time, a “Healing Event” will take place in Berlin over the weekend 24th – 25th April under the motto “Truth Heals”. A trauma does not just disappear when you want to get rid of it – no course can be taken without facing the facts and truly taking on the responsibility. Looking at the issue with dedication, we can integrate what needs to be learnt from the Second World War. Provided the emotional room is there, to be truly touched by people’s destinies. Leading representatives from the integral spirituality movement such as Andrew Cohen, Ken Wilber* and Tom Steininger will in Berlin show the potential that can unfold, when German Culture continues to confront its darkest parts. When collective shadows integrate by healing meditation, profound empathy can arise. A humanity, which has found its essence and can open up to realization and creativity. A sense of compassion, which can contribute to the questions of our global future. In the joint meditation the collective shadow becomes perceivable and the authentic power of the soul softens the pain. (* via skype)

 

Pacific Integral

We are now enrolling for our next GTC Cohort which begins April 15th, 2010.

If you (or someone you know) are interested in studying and participating in the leading edge of consciousness research, while expanding your own consciousness and learning how to apply integral theory in your own life and in your work in the world, then we invite you to contact us and join us on April 15 for our 8th GTC transformational leadership program.

We know of no other program that, over a sustained nine-month period, combines:

• deep experience in authentic relationship
• deep and expansive spiritual practices
• individual and group shadow work
• natural embodied stage development with proven results
• embodiment and integration of integral theory
• embodied action on real world situations.

For those who have studied integral theory, this program offers an opportunity to deeply embody and integrate the learnings in a way that is difficult to access without a container and curriculum such as GTC. Our more than 100 graduates from Kosovo, Mexico, Ethiopia, South Africa, Ireland, Jamaica, Palestine, Israel, India, Canada and throughout the U.S. have influenced the evolving design and development of our program. Participants report opening to a new reality, new ways of seeing and being, new ways to perceive and new places in themselves from which to act and transform.

If you teach, lead, manage, coach or inspire people in any way and/or if you are ready to take your life to a new level of awareness and exponential contribution, regardless of your age, experience or station in life, then we invite you (or someone you know) to join us this April.

For more information on our GTC program or to join our mailing list, see our website at www.pacificintegral.com or call 888.713.7773, extension 2.
