What impulse in the human spirit has, for millennia, caused us to paint cave walls, pile stones, carve, build, engineer, plan, craft and construct monuments to the invisible and unknown? Why are some places set apart and worthy of our greatest efforts and accomplishment? What makes one site sacred and another a garbage heap? Every culture on the planet has a tradition of sacred spaces and spiritual places and when we encounter them we resonate in harmony with the energies we find there.

This intriguing lecture will include sites in Bali, England, France, Eastern Europe, Hawaii, America, Egypt, the Sinai and the Holy Land. Topics will include geomancy and earth energies, sacred architecture and geometry, solar and stellar alignments, psychology, spirituality, religion, the alchemy of travel, quantum mechanics and some fascinating new discoveries about the science and psychology of Sacred Places. Please join Greg Roach, founder of Spirit Quest Tours, for an entertaining and compelling tour with beautiful pictures and fascinating details.

Seattle's City Council approved the proposed disposable bag fee

http://coolmel.gaia.com — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 22:17:19 GMT

In case you haven't heard yet...

via Worldchanging: Seattle

"Seattle's City Council approved the proposed disposable bag fee yesterday with a 6-1 vote. Starting in January 2009, shoppers will have the option of either bringing their own bags to the store, or paying 20 cents per disposable bag to tote their goods. According to an article in the Seattle Times, officials expect that the new fee will cut Seattle's annual 360-million-bag habit in half." [read more]

Are you affected by this? Would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to discuss on this thread.

Pacific Integral

Presents

A rare opportunity to spend a day and a half with a master of language and experience your own insight into the far reaches of human development

Internationally known Integral Developmental Psychologist & Researcher

Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter

Language, Meaning and Symbolic Representations

Advanced Development Workshop

Wednesday, June 25, 5-8:30 & Thursday, June 26, 9-5:30

At The Integral Loft in Seattle $425 - Space is limited

~~~~

Public Talk on Monday June 30, 7-9pm - Washington Park Arboretum Graham Visitor's Center

$35 Register Now

How can we relax our own beliefs and assumptions in order to open to a larger and more comprehensive understanding of “reality”?
How would you communicate your wildest inner experiences without language?
How do our imagination and assumptions serve development and how might they limit it?
What is the difference between conventional linear thinking and post-conventional meaning making as experienced in visual literacy?

“Susanne Cook-Greuter offers her own being as an example

of what is possible in human development and evolution.

She is a walking energy field of transformation. ”

In this advanced workshop, you will dive deeply into the beauty and conundrums of language, our chief means of communication, and personal and collective growth. We will explore the nature, beauties and limits of symbolic representations. You will learn from your own experience with words, images, musical and mathematical notation, logic, jokes, illusions, poems, Koans, and by drawing from nature. Through this exploration, we begin to see through the limits of language and our own thinking.

Dr. Susanne Cook-Greuter is an internationally known authority on mature adult development. Her Harvard thesis, Postautonomous Ego Development (1999), is a landmark study in the characteristics and assessment of late stage meaning makers. As a linguist, she continues to explore and marvel at the intricacies of language and meaning making. Susanne is a founding member of Ken Wilber's Integral Institute and co-director of its Psychology Center. She values learning through all senses, and wishes to share her experience and knowledge of the examined mind with you. Susanne has worked closely with Jane Loevinger, Robert Kegan and others researching and identifying new findings on late stages of adult ego development.

Don't miss it. Take a day off work and join us!
