An Integral Map Incorporating Spiral Dynamics

Why do we need an Integral Map and what is Spiral Dynamics?

It would be a rare day that we would leave home and travel somewhere without knowing where we are going, or having some form of map. When we are in a new city, it is common to feel lost, disoriented. Getting a “lay of the land” increases our comfort and gives a greater sense of presence. It also means that we can streamline our actions, spending less time on getting unlost, and more time on walking a clear pathway.

In our current world of the increasingly complex, a map of the territory is hard to come by, yet alone an integral map that looks at the world through multiple lenses and answers questions such as....

Why do people do what they do?

What can we expect to happen next?

How do we solve some of the greatest problems we currently face?

What should I do next and why?

Where am I located on this map? What is my Kosmic Address?

What does that all mean?

How do I work on my own development to create greater altitude?

How do I support my team to have a greater altitude?

Having an Integral Map provides ever increasing altitude. The higher our altitude perspective, the clearer our sight.

If we are living in a valley, we can only see the goings on in the valley unless we climb to the top of the nearest mountain. Then we can see not only what is going on on the valley, but what is occurring on the other side of the valley. Our view is even more enhanced when we get into a helicopter or a space ship. Using an Integral Map will give us more altitude perspective, more clarity, better decisions, faster action, more congruence.

Just what do we teach and explore in this teleclass on Integral Maps?

This work is built around the work of some of the greatest thinkers of recent time. Ken Wilber and his AQAL model form a foundation. Clare Graves and the Spiral Dynamics model is incorporated into this. We also include the work of Buckminster Fuller, plus a few of my favourites. Caroline Myss’s archetypal work, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Robert Kegan, to name a few.

We explore world views, states, stages, lines of intelligence, such as emotional, social, physical, spiritual, practical, theoretical, creative, scientific, etc, plus we look at types- which may be assessed using various tools such as standard Myers Briggs or DISC, or more esoteric tools such as astrology. We do all of this within four major domains- the I, the WE, the It and the Its.

The Integral Maps teleclass is delivered in an integral way. We do this by providing content, teaching and then dialogue, exploration, practical application, both on the personal level and through use in business and life, plus we look at Integral Maps from a larger social and cultural context. What is going on in the world...where is the world located on the map, and what can we expect next? Where are YOU on the Integral Map and what does this mean to YOU? Where is your company on the Integral Map...?

We will work with change. What is the dynamic of change, where are we in the change state, and how do we manage and respond to change?

This teleclass is expansive, mind altering, will challenge the heck out of you, will provide inspiration, excitement and thought. You will see the world with greater clarity. Many people report a feeling of profound relief when they discover an Integral Map that makes sense of their world.

How does it work?

The Integral Maps teleclass runs every week, three weeks of the month, for 12 weeks in total. This powerful delivery method enables the most practical application of the work in the week between classes. Participants will be given weekly assignment questions to consider between classes to maximize application and learning and to bring more experiential dynamics to the teleclass.

The program is available for teams and groups, adapted to your unique circumstances. If you are a Training and Development manager please ask us how we can make the Integral Maps teleclass into a very powerful experience for your group. You would be looking at a class like this for your group because (a) your team works at the cutting edge of creativity, innovation and design, and would like to get a profound grasp on the current world and the future we are moving towards, (b) your team has such a high commitment to customer service, staff support etc that you would like to get the most comprehensive view of people and the why’s of their actions, available today.

We also deliver this program in a two day live workshop.

Is this program for you?

If you are interested in the most leading edge models and materials available currently to support a sense making map of the world, and would like to be able to apply these tools with daily practical implementation that produces better understanding of people, cultures, and world events; if you would like a language that reflects your worldview, or if you simply want to engage with like minded other Positive Deviants around a learning conversation that is rarely found and will expand your models and perspective, then consider this class. You will have fun and learn very profound models within a pragmatic framework.

This program is also run as a live event over two days. The program includes a comprehensive assessment tool to determine your developmental stage or Kosmic address.

To get started, you need to do the following.

1. Email us requesting a meeting to discuss the Integral Maps Teleclass to be sure this is what you are looking for.

2. We will set up a time for a telephone meeting to discuss exactly what we do and how this will be relevant to you now. This meeting is at no charge. We want to be absolutely sure that this class is for you and that you will get the value you seek from the experience.

3. You will be asked to complete some simple forms and to make your initial payment deposit. (for large companies we will issue the invoice at commencement and agree to payment terms). Generally these forms take 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

4. We will provide you the tools to partake in the Kosmic address assessment. This assessment will determine your Kosmic address within the Integral Map. You will be provided with a debrief of this assessment towards the end of the class, when you have a better understanding of the Integral Map.

5. Classes will commence and away we go.

We offer a 100% guarantee...no questions asked...if this is not what you were looking for...
