If Integral or Big Picture thinking is ever to truly influence the evolution of this planet, it will be necessary for a critical mass of people to possess this consciousness. For this to happen, we must build a movement of people who can not only think but act in Big Picture terms. As a systems entrepreneur and community builder, I want to talk to others that are motivated to roll up their sleeves and manifest this reality.
In speaking about this with Robb Smith a few weeks ago, he suggested I convene a Symposium on Building Big Picture Communities. If you are interested in participating in such an initiative, please contact me to begin a conversation. I envision a virtual, potentially global conference to be held early this fall. It is my expectation that collectively, we will generate a number of practical experiments / pilots that we can implement and from which we all can learn.
And since various Big Picture theories share more similarities than differences, we would like to open this conversation to them as well.
