The ILP group gives you a chance to meet with others looking to develop an Integral Practice or to deepen their practice by engaging within the four dimentions of being.

The Body
The Mind
The Spirit
The Shadow.

The group is open to all and does not require any knowledge of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory. The group aims to help introduce you to Ken’s ideas as a practice or to deepen your understanding of Integral Life Practice.

The group will be run by Gary Hawke

Who is Gary Hawke

On completing his three year Acting Diploma at The Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts, Gary Hawke performed in Community and Physical Theatre along with developing drama based personal development workshops for the socially excluded.

For the research on his Post Graduate Certificate of Education at Greenwich University Gary worked with the homeless and drug users, integrating emotional awareness, cognitive development, supportive relationships and strong social structures to provide an integral training programme aimed at helping the participants developed positive independent living skills.

This work along with the Prison education management work Gary current undertakes lead him to achieve the Institute for Learning level 5 teacher status licence.

Gary’s investigation into how an Integral Perspective could support transformational change, lead to him attended the 3 year Health Professions Council Dramatherapy training at Roehamptom University. His Dramatherapy work has allowed Gary to explore Integral Transformative practice in his professional work with both children and adults.

In 2005 Gary and his partner set up Confluent Living which has provided Integral informed workshops for Actors, Support workers, Mentors, Managers, Teacher and Therapists.

2006 saw Gary begin to facilitate the London Integral Life Practice Group which meets once a month with an occasional day long practice. In July 2008 Gary facilitated the Introduction to ILP with the co-creator of ILP Terry Patten and in October 2008 he was invited to run the morning ILP session in Boulder for the Integral Leadership in Action Conference.

He has been invited back to the Integral Leadership in Action Conference in October 2009 where he will be a guest on the open panel along with Jeff Salzman, Terry Patten, Zak Stein, Clint Fuhs, and Robb Smith. He will also be running a 90 min session on ILP as a model of support for turbulence and transformation, along with offering morning sessions

Gary continues to deepening the ILP sessions by integrating both the structure and framework of ILP.
