Integral Spiritual Recovery - Learning to Co-Evolve
"Students will be able
to describe their
spiritual experience to
others in relation to the
particular level of
development with
which they most readily
identify and the
emotional or relational
patterns that shape or
otherwise inform that
process."
. . . but how??

9. Intention Statement – Stakeholders
What do we mean by "stakeholder"?
Quoted excerpt from Fritjof Capra’s website at: http://www.fritjofcapra.net/the-ecology-of-law/
“At the forefront of science, meanwhile, a new
paradigm has been emerging that involves a
fundamental change of metaphors, from seeing
the world as a machine to understanding it as a
network, as well as the realization that nature
sustains life through a set of ecological
principles that are generative rather than
extractive. A corresponding paradigm shift has
not yet happened in jurisprudence, nor in the
public conception of law. But it is now urgently
needed. In our book we call for a profound
change of legal paradigms, leading to a new
ecological order in human law.”

10. Intention Statement – Stakeholders
What do we mean by "stakeholder"?
Although we find ourselves working with
various models in practical applications of
meta-theory, our orienting perspective is
perhaps most notably informed by
Ken Wilber’s – AQAL framework.

“Unfortunately, there
has not been any
significant evolution
or opening of the
mainstream thinking
since the financial
crisis, and our
economic debates
are still shaped by
the same
frameworks, faces,
and false
dichotomies that
ushered in the
crisis.”

12. Intention Statement – Stakeholders
State-Stages to Awakening
Adapted from graphic image (Fig. 1) at: http://www.blog.ottoscharmer.com/?p=557
One of the forms in
which our subjective
and intersubjective
conscious experience
occurs is as "state-
stages". These realms
of subjective awareness
interrelate with the
respective levels (i.e.
1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0) of
conscious development
(e.g. "structure-
stages").

16. Intention Statement - Stakeholders
“Often lost in the debate about healthcare
reform are the individual patients and
caregivers who make up the system.
However, by engaging in an open dialogue
with the community, a restive group of
physicians in rural Germany is reinventing
the local healthcare system from the ground
up. They also are discovering a powerful
opportunity for personal and systemic
change: the doctor-patient relationship.”

17. Intention Statement - Stakeholders
“The authors – active
participants in this
initiative and long-time
contributors to the SoL
community – describe
the promising changes
unfolding in their
region and offer a
framework that applies
to other systems in
need of renewal.”
Reflections – “Breathing Life into a Dying System”

18. Intention Statement - Stakeholders
Consequently, and
where, as a group, our
primary focus involves
innovating and
designing ecosystems
that vitalize our city’s
well-being and
support distributed
forms of ownership,
our learning process
is an ongoing inquiry
or experiment in
delivering and
sustaining these
systems.
Reflections – “Breathing Life into a Dying System”

19. Intention Statement
Intention: What future are we trying to create?
Learning to Co-Evolve . . .

20. “From our shared vantage point, what our
core group sees as "wanting to be born" in
our work together "is the capacity to change
the quality of human relations" in our
immediate communities by "empowering
marginalized populations" comprised of the
working poor, underemployed, young, etc.
The prototype then, "with which we're
currently working entails initiating community
forums that bring "stakeholders" together
with local community members to explore the
innovation and design of sustainable
ecosystems for an "emerging future".”
How Do We Create (Future) Communities Free
of Ignorance and Fear?
Intention Statement – “Intention”

21. Subsequently, it's our intent
to forge avenues of
communication and
community relations that
serve to inform the
innovation and design of
ecosystems capable of
vitalizing Roanoke's well-
being through distributed
forms of ownership.

22. Intention Statement
Learning Threshold: What do we need to
let go of . . . what do we need to learn?
Learning to Co-Evolve . . .

23. “Elizabeth Kubler-Ross wrote
the seminal book On Death
and Dying (1969) in which
she laid out a psychological
model for the stages of
extreme change…coping
with the death of a loved
one. In the years after
publication, psychologists,
sociologists and economists
have applied Kubler-Ross’s
work to the process of
dealing with many varieties
of life change.”

24. Intention Statement
Help: Where do we need input or help?
Learning to Co-Evolve . . .

25. With a focus toward assuring food
security for local, marginalized
populations then, we're approaching this
responsibility as a collaborative
endeavor especially involving other
nonprofits like LEAP For Local Food,
Congregations in Action, Happy Healthy
Cooks, Roanoke Community Garden
Association, and the RVAR Local Food
Initiative.
"The profit in nonprofits"
Intention Statement – Help

26. "Community service organizations contribute
millions to the economy and strengthen the
region's social fabric."
Intention Statement – Help
"The profit in nonprofits"
Quoted excerpt from Roanoke Business - November 2015

27. "In conclusion then, but for these same
reasons, a key premise of "Toward
Integral Economic Democracy" is
anchored in the supposition "that by better
attending to the conscious processes by
which we derive meaning . . . co-creative
awareness" is capable of birthing
"remarkably new modes of thought and
system design across multiple disciplines
including learning, leadership, economics,
and governance" [emphasis added]
(McConnell 1). And therein lies the
challenge . . . can we talk about it?"
Intention Statement – Help
"And therein lies the challenge . . . can we
talk about it?"
