Highlights and Recaps of the 2021 Integral European Conference (IEC)

Several members of our group attend the IEC event whenever we can. Last year we had a wonderful recap of the 2020 online IEC. The conference is rich with content and experiential practices. It's interesting to see what landed and excited various members of our group.

If you are attending, please consider being part of the recap session. Let us know which session impacted you the most. If two or more people were impacted by the same session they can collaborate on the recap for that session. For example, last time Mary & Eloy combined to recap a session on Forgiveness.

The IEC is one of the best Integral conferences available. By attending you'll have great experiences, have access to great speakers & content, and meet really cool people from all over the world!

In February, 2017 San Diego Integral began the Focused Integral Group Discussion (FIGD) which is a meta-structuring format where we briefly switch into an agreed upon process to optimally utilize the We-Space. The objective of FIGD is to collectively feel deeper into any topic and promote a causal state experience where we briefly switch from a collective I to a collective we. A Focused Integral Group process is "running in the background" until a salient moment rises that we want to explore. This may be derived from a presentation, a poignant comment by a member, a poem...whatever has resonance and can be horizontally expanded by the collective. This moment is identified by the "moderator" who helps maintain focus.

FIGD have three parts. It begins with a formal focus, followed by commentary on the process and then a discussion. Each segment lasts for 3-8 minutes. We have committed to a minimal of three FIGD per meeting. We have found that the intensity of these collective focused moments have increased with experience and skill and seem to delightfully persist throughout the three phases. This is very much an experimental process we have been Improving upon after each meeting.

As previously mentioned FIGD was initially described for the February, 2017. The sequential evolution of FIGD can be seen in the PAGES tab above. New or returning members are encouraged to read these brief papers in preparation for participation. Updates have followed each SDI meeting.

SDI is committed to the creative advance into novelty.

If you have a topic suggestion please let us know and we'll bring it to the conversation.
