Core Integral sponsors all seminar participants: ENJOY Essential Integral Course 01

Core Integral has generously decided to support our efforts of bringing you the greatest value possible by offering their Course 01: Essential Integral as a sponsorship for all participants of the seminar. This is a great added value indeed: a $189 course developed by Ken Wilber and Clint Fuhs that will take your understanding of integral theory to a new level!

It's been said that Ken Wilber's Integral approach is elitist. But, it's an elitism to which all are invited. Core Integral aims to finally extend those invitations, and to graciously welcome and show you around once you've arrived. 

A compassionate and inclusive elitism - one that aims to serve your growth and to help solve complex global problems - along with an accessible way to learn the most encompassing world philosophy - this is what we're all about. 

The purpose of Core Integral is simple: To expand access to the Integral approach while ensuring the integrity of a comprehensive Integral understanding.  This might sound lofty, but we also think it's achievable. By revolutionizing how you generate applied Integral knowledge and by making that learning more accessible, we envision a growing community of more effective Integral practitioners and scholars. 

Our suite of offerings support this aim and serve the realization of the Integral vision in your life. Interactive learning courses, covering the entire Integral canon, will expand your mind and ignite your passion for an applied Integral approach.  One-on-one mentoring will put you in direct contact with leading practitioners, each of whom are ready to serve your specific learning needs. And our group training classes harness the power of collective experience, allowing you to learn from the queries and quandaries of others on the same path. 

Welcome to Core Integral. We'll help you make sense of the theory that makes sense of everything. Learn more about the offerings of Core Integral >
