Easter through an Integral lens

Sandy Brim, Larry Kiehl, Christine Baser-Habib

Holy week is a culmination in the Christian calendar, when the teachings of Jesus and his lived experience open to the mystery of spirit and transformation.

In this presentation we will explore three aspects of Christianity and the Easter message: Jesus as the Divine in flesh, the teachings of Jesus and his death, resurrection and the emergence of eternal spirit.

This gathering will include Integrally-informed didactics, sharing of personal experience, and experiential practice. Whether you are of another faith, a non-practicing Christian, agnostic, or atheist, this topic has meaning for all, as mystery and spirit surround us.

PLEASE NOTE: Starting this month when you click on the Zoom link, it will ask for your name and email address as part of the registration process. This allows San Diego Integral to maintain a mailing list and helps with attendance numbers. Thanks for your cooperation.

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.
