Stella Finca-Luna of Italy is doing some interesting work combining
permaculture with Ken Wilber's integral model (inner and outer quadrants,
individual and collective) and Spiral Dynamics' evolutionary wave theory. Here
is an email she posted on the Perma-Psychology google list, that includes info
on a free conference.

I
don't remember if I ever answered the very good question about Integral
Permaculture that was asked here but probably not because we have been very busy
launching the dialogue.. via the online conferences the first english one of
which happened last week .. sorry didn't get round to announcing it here, but
there's another one coming up on the 3rd of dicember, tomorrow we have the
Spanish one.
all details on http://nodoespiral.net where you can see the
link (top left) to the English Mirror site where you can register for the free
conferences, and also see the article on Integral PC, PLUS (new from yesterday)
the page of the new PDC +++ course which we are hoping will be a truly
international cooperative effort.
We already have some wonderful
international great PC teachers taking part! we're hoping it will multi-function
as the 'collectively update & sharpen the contents of the PDC' effort we
always talk about at conferences and never seem to get round to.. decidedly for
activists.
we had a few people stay behind quite late after the first
conferences, talking about what might be or become Integral Permaculture, but
the conversations seem to have a stubborn way of staying private .. following on
by email or chat, despite our efforts to create public open spaces for
this. I guess most people feel shy about sharing with total
strangers, that's all..
I guess that is why our online courses work so
well, people seem to appreciate the intimacy of the 'select' spaces they create
for such dialogue, but it's a little frustrating just for being more
exclusive.
Anyway, here is the direct link to the page of the mega-course
we're preparing for spring: it's designed to multiply greatly who can get to do
a PDC, as anyone can use this resource we're preparing to run a full course in
their own livingroom, and with lots more relevant and local practical work, for
a fraction of the usual costs.
This multifunctions as a
leadership-training scheme too... we want to encourage lots of people ready to
facilitate transition-like teams in their communities but who want a hand with
this, to jump up their next step with this support.
This is really a
cooperatively designed course - your input is welcome and sought, please let me
know what you think of it so far (design in constant flux, this page reflects
decisions we made the previous day on our team skype conference..)
