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. :) (10 months ago)

Greetings from Germany

Greetings from Germany. Integral first was discovered in writings of Jean Gebser and Sri Aurobindo 30 years ago. Also some other great guys which were mentioned in Steve McIntoshs book about Integral Consciousness.

Since 1980 reading Ken Wilber was more than reading. The psychoactive process of beeing engaged in lots of practices later summarized as ILP guided me. My partner Anitta and I hosted then 1999 one of the very first Ken Wilber related metings in Germany in Berlin, within our living room.

While the time in Joint wilber studyx of Austria, Switzerland and Germany was very rewarding I shifted my focus since 2004 to a more global view. Became virtual member of London Integral Circle. One of the oldest and now most globally orinted integral circles outside USA.

The last years more and more the gold in the Gravesian SDi approach was disvovered by me. As a very practical demand, guide and laser-like focus for action . Especially in large scale systems change for me.

Since 2007 I am associate editor for Integral leadership Review and Bureau Chief for German speaking countries Germany, Switzerland and Austria. I am working on a Germany Special Issue for 2010.

Integral in Europe generally seems to follow very special patterns and quite specific paths. In another way than in North America.

Cheers,

Albert

Doug,

like KOsmos Journal too. Integral publishing, communication and going mainstream globally is just in babysteps. We discussed it quite extensively at London Integral Circle.
Cheers,
