A Love Letter to the Integral Community by Corey W. deVos
Today is the first full day of the ISE conference/practice sesshin, and I already find my nervous system bombarded by all of your names, faces, and stories. There is so little time and so little space of mind to sift through the anxious buzz and fully soak all of you in!…read more

Sally Kempton: Love and Pain in Your Relationship to Spirit at ISE 2 by Haven Iverson
One of the many things I love about Sally is her gorgeous and penetrating voice–the flow and cadence of it and how she is able to drop me into the depth of my being. I would attend her workshops for her voice alone. But beyond this, Sally is a profoundly deep reservoir of knowledge. She is known for her ability to draw from her own training, the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, but she is also inspiring in her ability to draw on the wisdom of many religious paths….read more
