The Toronto Integral Life Practice Cross-Training Team March Meeting

Welcome to our March ILP meeting.

We had a very interesting meeting in February. Irina presented her workshop called: Agency and Communion, how to grow together from healthy confrontations. It helped us better understand how we usually deal with conflict or confrontation, consciously and unconsciously. Thank you Irina for this very friendly yet challenging and inspiring experiential Gestalt workshop.

In our coming March session, we'll have the pleasure to have Michael Jenkins present his "I am" workshop based on the Big Mind Process from Genpo Roshi.

We look much forward to it and we also look forward to seeing you there.

Anna and Jacques

PS

For those of you that are new and those returning to our meetings, what follows is a short overview to give our current structure and an idea of the unfolding of the evening.

Toronto ILP Cross-Training Team
Personal, Experiential and Integral Community Development

- What we do: We share our own personal life experiences and practices in their diversity and complexity. We use Wilber's AQAL approach as a guide/framework and respect each team member's evolving worldview. The emphasis of our meetings is on first-person sharing, talking as "I" about our challenges and successes, and our intentions and growing edges in all quadrants. As a team, we are there to learn together, share perspectives, and stretch each other. We hold open highest potential for our growth individually and collectively. We offer some time in bodhisatva consciousness for well-being in our human family

- Our Team Agreements: Respectful listening and non-judgement of everyone's experience, support for every member's growth in all quadrants and lines, and willingness to engage honestly and creatively.

Fluid structure of a regular meeting:
- potluck dinner at 6:00 pm
