What is Integral Studies? [back to top]
Integral Studies is an attempt to integrate everything that is known about human potential-physical, psychological, social, and spiritual growth. It draws on all known systems and models of human growth and inquiry from ancient cultures and mystics to current breakthroughs in areas such as cognitive science and evolutionary theory. Researchers in Integral Studies have applied the Integral approach developed by Integral Institute to a variety of human activities, from art and business to politics and ecology. This wide array of applications allows people from different disciplines to speak the same language, creating a truly integral learning community. The Integral model offers a way of exploring the complexity of human consciousness and organization in a way that provides more comprehensive solutions to today's complex problems. The goal of the Integral approach is to cultivate body, mind, and spirit in self, culture, and nature.
