Get Involved

Welcome! Thank you for being curious about how you might get involved (or get MORE involved), at CIW and in creating a Global Ethic for a Global Civilization.

This page is meant to offer you a variety of easy access entry points for you to participate and engage with the Center and our projects in a way that most inspires you and fits into your lifestyle.

The first half of this list is for the public and the second half is for CIW board members.

We welcome your feedback, ideas and questions. Please email your thoughts to Kerstin [at] centerforintegralwisdom.org.

General Public

Thank you for getting involved in a way that works for you. Every bit of attention given to the mission of changing the source code of culture helps. As Lynne Twist says, “It’s not about a big role or a small role, it’s about YOUR role.”

1. LIVE the CIW mission and operating values in your own life and projects.

The Center for Integral Wisdom is an Activist Think Tank dedicated to partnering with leading thought leaders and change agents to transform and evolve the source code of culture through application of Integral principles.

Together we articulate, evolve and deliver a new, Integral narrative for living – which transforms each individual, culture and life itself – creating a world of outrageous love, through outrageous love.

Mission

Our mission is to love outrageously, live outrageously, and create an extraordinary world.

We make a global impact through information products, courses, books, films, events, courses, workshops, podcast, websites, blogs, and more.
