The 5th Integral Practitioner Convergence: Developing Dialogic Capability
Participation in this year's online Integral Practitioner Convergence is free
of charge.
Ukraine's Sacrifice and the World-System Crisis: Our Historical Moment Requires a New Kind of Practitioner
We live in a time of agonizing challenges and creative disruptions. The challenges humanity faces are so complex that our historical epoch is sometimes described as a crisis of complexity at the core of our current ecological, economic, and political turmoil. In each case, what is required of humanity is more complex than what our current capabilities support. Even our own inventions—technologies, cultural memes, organizations, and communities—have been evolving into increasingly complex forms which have increased the demands of everyday life.For those who choose to engage this historical moment, a deeper and higher order of capability is required.In response to these challenges, transformative initiatives are emerging and converging all around the globe. Our global circumstances require practitioners involved in transformation and leadership to develop a unique ecology of competencies that is complex enough for the requirements of the present.Many of us are called to lives of sacred purpose where we seek to connect professional livelihood with personal meaning and passion. However, there is a widening gap between the challenges of complexity and our individual and collective capabilities. To realize our potential for passionate and meaningful livelihood, it is imperative that we close this gap by building a bridge of capability.
“No matter how bad our crises, our responses will decide both their consequences and our destiny. If that’s so, and it is, it raises one of the great questions of our time and of all time: How can we contribute most effectively to help mitigate or heal these crises? As integral practitioners, this question becomes: How can we use our integral skills to contribute most effectively? Of course, beneath this lies another question: How do we discover our most effective contributions?”
Roger Walsh, MD, PhDFrom "Calling All Integral Practitioners" - 2022
What are Integral Practitioners?
Integral practitioners foster the development and transformation of individuals, teams, organizations, communities, and societies by empowering the whole person and the whole system. In domains such as education, business, healing, coaching, and the arts, integral practitioners bring imagination to complex challenges in the service of transforming mindsets, cultures and social systems.Integral Practitioners catalyze development in multiple domains of professional practice through facilitating transformative learning at different levels of systems: From individuals, and all the way up to societies.
Integral practitioners make an impact by:
Facilitating incremental, adaptive and transformative change.
Catalyzing development through transformative learning.
Engaging the vitality and emergence of development and evolution.
Leading in ways that take responsibility for the whole.
Evolving new methods of creative collaboration.
Securing the function of integrity in integral practice.
Developing the whole person: cognitively, emotionally, somatically, and spiritually.
Integrating action and reflection through collective action inquiry and learning.
Anchoring the sacred by reuniting the artistic and the scientific.
Innovating prototypes that can be scaled while sustaining beauty and practicality.
Inhabiting both the contemplative and the performative.
Inquiring through both expressive and scientific methods.
Healing division within historically wounded systems of relationships.
“The ultimate, most sacred form of theory is practice.”
— Nikos Kazantzakis
“There is nothing so practical as a good theory.”
— Kurt Lewin
“You could say paradigms are harder to change than anything else about a system…. But there’s nothing physical or expensive or even slow in the process of paradigm change. In a single individual it can happen in a millisecond. All it takes is a click in the mind, a falling of scales from eyes, a new way of seeing.”

Anne Caspari
Anne Caspari:
My specialty is transformational processes in all contexts, personal and organizational, long before it was called change management. Having studied ecology and having worked with ecosystems in the past, I can rely on a solid body of knowledge of how complex adaptive systems work and what tends to get in the way of self-organizing processes. Adding humans to the equation, these processes become even more complex and unpredictable for decision-makers and leaders. Where most change methods and theories promote an overly simplistic approach to transformative processes, I facilitate change from a deep understanding of how we can overcome resistance to change, and how to nudge human systems in a more generative direction from within. This work is deeply rewarding. It is completely practical and hands-on, yet based on adult development, complexity, and cognitive science.

Moving from Johannesburg to Cape Town has meant walking in nature, swimming in the sea and generally having more time to find out who I really am. I am currently a student at the Coaching Centre on the Integral Practitioner Coaching Programme which has catalyzed my integral antennae. The big dream is to support groups/individuals who want to solve social and environmental problems in their communities / businesses / social enterprises through developing their own tools to accessing the flow. Especially for those who can’t afford coaching but who would really benefit from it. Our developing project ‘Coaching for Everyone’ through the Ubuntu Coaching Foundation, aims to democratize coaching, facilitate accessibility, support deep transformation to be a better human and to create a better world.

Erik Willkens
Erik is a mix of many: Physical actor, dancer, musician, body worker, group facilitator, mental health coach, cook and orthopedagogue.

This vision became a research project spanning 15 years looking at many different aspects and dimensions of social change. In 3 weeks time I wrote a proposal for an alternative governance system for the UN in a call of the Global Challenges Foundation. The project is a combination of two pillars: one being a living online library for social innovation and the other a meta network weaving overarching networks in themes that matter.
