INTEGRAL POLARITY PRACTICE

Waking up,
Growing up

Integral Polarity Practice allows people to connect practices from their specific philosophical or spiritual tradition to a universal process of human development that enables the skillful navigation of life's tensions and paradoxes. In this way, IPP leads us through the divisive forms of polarization that have ripened in so many societies and gridlocked political systems. As John has demonstrated, a thoughtful IPP practitioner who becomes more adept at finding the inner 'still point' within all polarities is well on the way to unlocking increasingly deeper expressions of creativity, loving care, and effective leadership. Such inner experiences draw us closer to the center of what it means to be human and also foster clarity about how to co-create ecosystems of flourishing for all.

What is IPP?

Integral polarity practice is a spiritual, life, and group practice. It enhances interrelated individual and collective healing, integration, flourishing, and transformation, whether the collective is a family, an organization, a community, or nature—ultimately including all of these dimensions in a comprehensive ecosystemic context. IPP provides a rich practice that can complement any approach to spiritual belief, life, work, and leadership in the world—all of which are inevitably deeply interconnected.
