Hi Allison, Thanks for your message-so sorry that the distance prevents a your participation, but I really appreciate your interest and would be delighted to connect virtually. Also, if you have an interest in hosting a Circle there (assuming that others there might have an interest), do let me know-I'm envisioning eventually creating some virtual space for all the emerging Circles to connect and cross-pollinate, but it's still embryonic at this stage. Your thesis sounds fascinating.and Ortho-Bionomy, I have heard is sort of like the Aikido of bodywork (haven't experienced it myself, but I trained in acupressure for two years, and met some folks who had benefited from this work) .would love to learn more about both as you are inspired to share. You can reach me at: ka...@luminacoaching.com. Warm regards, Karen ------------------------------------------

Dear Karen, What a wonderful invitation! Thank you for extending it. The theoretical underpinning of my PhD thesis (presently entitled: 'Embodied Relativity') relates to integral consciousness. I am especially interested in Jean Gebser's writing as it relates to my gentle bodywork practice of Ortho-Bionomy. So I would love to join your group, except for the issue of distance - I live in South Eastern Australia - and I rarely travel. If I can 'virtually' meet with you in some way, that will be great for me. Warm regards, Allison.

Integral practice as I am defining it is a practice that is essential for wholeness for ourselves, our organizations, our communities, our ecologies, and our world. This may be informed by the work of theorists/practitioners such as Sri Aurobindo, Jean Gebser, Georg Feuerstein, Ken Wilber, William James, Robert Kegan, Jenny Wade, Michael Murphy, etc., or simply grounded in your own experience of what it is to be an integral being in the world. What is most essential to me in extending this invitation is that those of you who choose to come have a genuine commitment to awakening, cultivating and contributing your knowledge, experience, and resources to grow within an emerging community of practice-that you want to broaden and deepen who and how you are in your integral practice-and that you are willing to offer yourself and your own practice in service of broadening and deepening the larger community of practice in service of broadening and deepening our world... I realize that some of you may not be interested in integral practice. Others of you are far from Bainbridge Island and cannot commit to such a local endeavor, and that still others of you are already participating in other groups that may fulfill this purpose for you and that you may not feel called to join this particular manifestation of the larger field of integral practice in the world. However, I invite those of you for whom this is true to participate in Spirit, to hold the space for another group to form, and hope to find ways to cross-pollinate the fields within the Field as we are mutually moved to do so. This current Circle is limited to 12 participants. Please let me know if this is of interest to you.or if you have an interest in hosting a Circle in your area. I would love to continue learning with you in this latest context and would be happy to provide any additional information if you're interested. With love and light, Karen ------------------------------------------ Karen Sella Managing Partner <http://www.luminacoaching.com> www.luminacoaching.com Phone: 206.780.2998 Skype: luminasella fr.
