The North San Diego Ken Wilber Group April Meetup

At the last Meetup we decided to add a little more structure to the meetings. (Thanks Shana!)

So how will we do this? uh, hmmm, do we know of any models that could help us? hmmm... :~)

Hey! How about the Four Quadrants or the 'Big 3'?

I, We and It.

We'll start with 'I'. Introductions if there are any new folks, a short check-in all around, anything integrally interesting going on in your life? How is your personal practice going? (~ 20 mins?)

Then we'll switch to 'We' and we'll invite Ken to hang out with us. We'll watch a couple videos or listen to an interview from Integral Naked and then discuss what we think he was talking about, hey that sounds like inter-subjectivity to me. I've listed some titles of those videos on out Meetup site. Please vote for 2 videos at https://kenwilber.meet... (https://kenwilber.meetup.com/61/polls/74072) (~ 50 mins?)

Then our slide into our favorite 'It', the AQAL Framework, the mother of all 'It' maps. We'll take one component of the Integral Model at a time, (Quadrants, Levels, Lines, States and Types) and kick it around. We'll have most of Ken's books on hand for the theory aspect but it's the practical application that will probably be the most interesting and fun. Check out a very cool AQAL map on our site at https://files.meetup.c... (https://files.meetup.com/91200/AQALchart.jpg)

Each month, we'll go over the basics of a particular part of the model and then talk about how to use it in our lives. We'll take one at a time, this month we'll start with the Four Quadrants so bring your understandings and your questions about the Quadrants. (~ 50 mins?)

We'll try this overall structure over the next six months as see how it goes and of course I'm open to suggestions and feedback.

See ya there!
