Our Roots:
The Integral Counseling Institute grew out of a conversation begun in 1996
among a circle of friends. The conversation reflected our thoughts and
experiences, lofty, anomalous, theoretical, intensely personal, and always
questioning - searching for multiple levels of meaning. It was driven by
our curiosity about ideas of self and consciousness, philosophy,
spirituality, and the many paths of transformation.
As therapists and seekers, we sought a way to share the excitement,
passion, practical discovery, humor, and sheer exhilaration of our
conversation with others interested in deep inquiry, and the integration
of insight into
personal transformation. We are committed to an empirically based,
rational exploration of experience and all states and stages of
consciousness including peak, transcendent, and mystical.
The conversation has grown and thrives in a dynamic, expanding dialogue,
practice, and friendship for a growing community. We invite you to become
a part of it.
