FA9-R01

Oct. 16 through Nov. 6
$87 W&B members / $93 general public
Instructors: David Whiteand Karen Beck

Ken Wilber has attempted the impossible, a comprehensive and integrated theory of everything and has found himself subject to every manner of criticism. So why does this man always come up smiling? The first session will review background concepts such as Axial Age, Great Chain of Being, enlightenment, and the Age of Aquarius. In the next two sessions we will follow Wilber’s suggest and test Integral Spirituality against our own experiences in the great tradition of the Burned-Over District.
