The Integral Pod

The Integral Pod (formerly I-I+Zaadz, or IIZ) is a discussion group (a.k.a. “pod”) for enthusiasts of the work of Ken Wilber and other proponents of integral thought. Our aim here is to provide a “We-space” for broad discussion of second-tier living, loving and learning. Please read our vision and guidelines – the ...(more)

Grey Oof! Just saw this now, Siona.... Yeah, flutters I think it was... no, "flaps", but I don't like it much. "Flutter" was the name to replace "Grapevine". Anyway, I just used "tweets" here because it's more readily recognizable. :) (9 months ago)

Wife Swap

Ever watch the show Wife Swap? Want to be on it? You get to be on tv, and get $20,000.


Family must consist of two parents and at least one child between the ages of 7 and 17.


I think it'd be cool to have an Integrally-informed wife swapped. Depending on who she gets sent to, it could be a nice test of integralism. 

Contact me if you qualify, or know a “Spiritual / New Age / Consciousness” type family who would be interested.

Sorry Dave,

Sounds more like an experiment in voyeurism/exhibitionism to me (and i say that without having seen the show :))

Oh, no. No, you're thinking of 'Trading Spouses' on FOX. Wife Swap is on ABC. Completely different approach.

So, Dave, do you now have an integral wife…?

I actually know a couple who did this. I'd be careful about doing such a thing, as they're really looking for conflict. They made them seem like a couple of lifestyle nazis for having no television and making sure their kids had a healthy diet. Horrible parents, right?

They did say they had a good time, though. So it really is something you could have fun with if you go in with the right attitude.
