Joe Perez

"The men's Integral Life Practice (ILP) group that I organized moves into its third meeting on Monday, and we're holding our first open meeting to open the doors to new members.

Stopping to take note of them (walking looking upwards would have proved too perilous amidst the multitude of shoppers hunting for bargains during the Dubai Shopping Festival ), I was able to appreciate their variety and beauty.

Integral theory is an attempt to answer that question. Here we offer some basic overviews of Integral theory and its application in the world, in many different media formats.
