Welcome to The Integral Pod (formerly I-I+Zaadz, or IIZ), a discussion group (a.k.a. “pod”) for enthusiasts of the work of Ken Wilber and other proponents of integral thought.

We should point out, however, that due to certain problems of scale and in order ensure that those who join are committed to exploring, and sincerely excited about, Integral Theory and Wilber's work, this Group is what you might call a “request-in” public group, meaning that non-members are free to read all of the discussions and other content, but we ask that you request an invitation from a moderator (“mod”) to join and participate in the Pod. New members are, of course, more than welcome – simply contact one of the moderators (see also below) – but we would ask that you give us a brief description of your interest and dedication when making your request to join.


With that said, our aim here is to provide a “we-space” for broad discussion of second-tier living, loving and learning. Please read our vision and guidelines – the Integral Pod Transformative Practice (IPTP) – carefully, as they express our intention for community members to seek to communicate from our Highest Selves as much as possible.

 

We highly encourage all new members to go to the Introduce Yourself board first, as this is where you can introduce yourself to the rest of the community and start to get to know everybody. We would all love it if you would let us know who you are and what brings you to this Integral community.

 

Also on this board, you will find the FAQs thread, which provides more information about the group and our policies, as well as a number of other “sticky” threads that offer material that may be of particular interest to new members of the community.


Even if you are not a member of the pod, you may also be interested in reading some of the material on the Integral Basics board. We particularly recommend:


Integral Theory and Practice 

What Is Altitude?

Waves, Streams, States and Self
Ego Development: 9 Levels of Increasing Embrace (by Suzanne Cook-Greuter)

 

And although it's not a requirement for membership of this group, many of us also have memberships in Integral Naked and/or Integral Spiritual Center, so that we can enjoy the incredible array of audio and video materials made available at a low monthly cost by Integral Institute. A variety of free materials are linked to on our Integral Multimedia board. Also of particular interest are the Integral Naked Videos On YouTube and Integral Spiritual Center: Free Materials.

 

Finally, if you have any questions or concerns about the pod, please feel free to send a Private Message (PM) to one of the moderators. Currently active mods are Grey, Liz, and Juliee. We endeavor to keep this busy community running as smoothly as possible, and so also welcome any comments or questions on the Announcements and Feedback board.

 

Have fun, and thank you for joining us!
