Introduction to Integral Theory: Operating with All Windows Open to be Offered this Fall

The Madison Integrals are truly excited that one of our founding members, Tom Christenen, has taken on the task of designing and offering an exciting new course this fall. "Introduction to Integral Theory: Operating with All Windows Open," will be a 12-week course, offered Tuesdays, 3:30-5:30pm, starting Sept 7th (location still TBD). The course will be offered through OHRD, but also has a 2 credit option, Biology 675, offered through one of our members, Prof. Teri Balser.

Dear Friends,


Yours truly is teaching the following course this Fall at UW-Madison: Introduction To Integral Theory – Operating with all windows open. The class is topped out at 40 seats, and I’d love to have it full of those eager to stretch, discover and create. If you have interest it can either be taken for 2 credits, if you are enrolled at UW, or you can take it for no credit, in which case the class is free.

Who should consider this course? This course will provide all the elementary and introduction distinctions, so it’s ideal for those curious about Integral and its applications. This material will be provided from a perspective I have not offered before, nor have I seen it done this way in any other context. So, those with any level of sophistication in Integral will find the course eye opening and useful also. Seasoned Integrals who join the class will be asked to do some coaching with the newer initiates from time to time.

What is Integral? If you need a quick peek at what Integral is, consider these terms: Multi-dimensional thinking, multi-perspectival, integrating complementary points of view. Additional intro links can be found here www.tomcintegral.tumblr.com .

What areas can Integral be applied in? This class is ideal for adding perspective in almost any area, and certainly the following: Interdisciplinary studies, ecology, political science, international relations, human resources, management, sales and marketing, parenting, human development, cultural development, educational policy, neurological development, hospice care, nursing, medical practice, urban planning, governmental policy making, and the fine arts.


Here are more details, and where you can find new information as I post it. This is also where you will find a link to register for the course. I hope I see you there. http://www.tomcintegral.tumblr.com/

BTW, it’s a lot of ideas, always directed to application.

There are many who merit this: Thanks for the help getting here.

Be well – Tom C.
