MAY 15 FREE GLOBAL TELESEMINAR A big part of the mission at Integral Enlightenment is to share with you opportunities to deepen your experience and understanding of the emerging Evolutionary Worldview that is transforming the way we humans see ourselves and our place in the Cosmos. So, we are pleased to let you know about an exciting free event being offered by one of the organizations at the leading edge of this thrilling new inquiry--EnlightenNext. On Saturday, May 15, 2010, EnlightenNext Editor in Chief Andrew Cohen, Executive Editor Carter Phipps, and Senior Editors Elizabeth Debold and Ross Robertson will be presenting a free one-day virtual seminar called The Evolutionary Worldview, and they'd like to invite you to join them. This is a rare opportunity to explore and engage with EnlightenNext's spiritually charged evolutionary perspective--a perspective that provides a unique vantage point on the very leading edges of contemporary culture. You can register now for this full day of evolutionary talks, dialogues, and discussions--and you'll be able to participate from anywhere in the world. The EnlightenNext team will be broadcasting from their studios in Lenox, Massachusetts, and will be joined on the phone by some of their closest partners and collaborators, including: Ken Wilber, Don Beck, Deepak Chopra, Marilyn Schlitz, Brian Swimme, and more. (Even if you aren't able to tune in on May 15, we'd still encourage you to register now to receive free MP3 recordings of the day.) Through conversations with their guests and Q&A with listeners, the editors will be exploring many of the issues at the heart of their ongoing inquiry into the relationship between consciousness and culture--issues like spirituality, politics, gender, ecology, sexuality, and more. |
