INTEGRATION: A NEW VISION FOR HEALING
The Koan of Illness 6
Learn to develop your unique personal plan for growth and development, while envisioning a new way for society to hold and support chronic illness.
This online course begins April 27th, 2021.
In the first 5 courses of the Koan of Illness, we focused on the different areas of your life that needed attention so that you could more easily walk the path of chronic illness or caregiving.
In this course, we weave all of these parts together into an integrated whole because they are truly not separate. Coming to understand how they work together leads to a deeper experience of each piece, and out of them a new you can emerge, greater than the sum of all of these parts.
Integration – A New Vision of Healing, our 6-week live, virtual course, focuses on creating a comprehensive individual map for your growth across the Integral models. We zoom out to look at the big picture while anchoring in the details and practicalities. But we don’t stop there: we also envision and take steps to enact a new collective vision for chronic illness in our society.
We recommend that you do at least one of our other courses before this one, or that you have a good grasp of Ken Wilber’s Integral Model before enrolling in this course.
This Course Will Help You to:
-
Create a growth plan for yourself that integrates all of the Integral models
-
Discover new practices and ways to apply them for transformation
-
Understand how the different parts of your experience can work together for your growth and transformation, and see where your blind spots and deficiencies are
-

This Course Is For:
-
People who are invested in their own growth and development

People who are interested in developing a personal plan for growth that incorporates the experience of chronic illness and/or caregiving

Integration – A New Vision of Healing is part 6 of our 6-part Koan of Illness series.
Each of our live, 6-week, stand-alone courses addresses a part of the illness experience and is designed both for people suffering from chronic illness and caregivers. You can begin with any of the courses, pick and choose, or do them all.
Empowering Yourself: Begins each July
Discover ways to take back some of the power that illness has taken from you. Learn to map the complex world of illness and mine its treasures.
Healing the Trauma: Begins each September
The wounds of chronic illness are more than physical. Part of the path of illness is acknowledging and working with the emotional and psychological layers of trauma.
Healing Your Relationships: Begins each November
Chronic illness brings changes and challenges to every relationship – your partner, children, parents, employer, friends, and even yourself. Your relationships can fracture or deepen depending on how you integrate illness into them.
Using Illness as a Springboard to Personal Growth: Begins each January
Illness is a path to deep personal growth. Understanding how this growth occurs can offer a direct route to a better, more mature, and more sane experience of being human, even in the midst of tragedy.
Illness as an Accelerator of Spiritual Intelligence and Awakening. Begins each March.
Illness or caregiving can be part of your spiritual practice and path. Using the Integral map, we’ll use the very difficulties that illness magnifies as the place to bring our attention and our practice.
Integration: Begins each May
It’s time to take all that you’ve learned and apply it to your life, implementing your own integral life practice that includes all the dimensions of your own being as well as the collective experience. It is recommended that you be well versed in integral philosophy or have taken at least one of the other courses before taking this one.
