Please join us for a social gathering! Bring a holiday snack to share and catch up with your integral friends.[/color]

As discussed on Nov. 13, those who committed to the new ILP that Roberta shared with us that night, we'll do check-ins with each other during the evening, then mingle with the rest of the group.

If you weren't there that night, but began new practices incorporating the method and info Roberta posted, you may want to contact someone who was present (Robert, Stan, Scott, Roberta, Therese, Kelly) to check in with before Dec. 18th then integrate into the ILP subgroup discussion on the 18th.

Roberta will lead from her recent and ongoing experience using action inquiry in the context of Integral Life Practice.

Please consider these things over the next 6 weeks in the meantime:

If you have an ILP -bring it with you.

Regardless of whether you have an ILP or not:

Spend at least 10 mintues in a closed eye exercise imagining your perfect life. Jot down the obvious qualities and circumstances that arise in that place. Then, craft a short vision for your current life informed by what arose from the exercise.

If you were going to design an integral life practice, brainstorm about what practices might you want to include for body, mind, spirit, shadow and other aspects of your life. Think here of striking the right balance between challenge and support - working at your edge. What is that you need to support your life, and what is it that you need to grow toward your vision.

What intention would underlie each aspect for you - body, mind, spirit, shadow, other. For this exercise, you might considering dialoging internally with someone who you feel is an exemplar of body, mind, spirit, shadow, and other practice.

Consider who could you go to in your life for feedback, mirroring, support around your practice?

I will follow this up with some audio and text supports for designing a vision, choosing practices, and creating intention.
