1. The topic of the new Sense in the City Ezine is " Integral City Adds Value to the Earth ".  We are celebrating Earth Day by sharing the first Chapter in a forthcoming book: Integral City: Whole Systems Living for Whole City Life .  Find the ezine at  http://www.integralcity.com/Ezine%20Files/archive.asp 

 An Integral city :

• Integrates the qualities that create optimal conditions for human habitats
• Reframes Brundtland Sustainability Factors:  Environment, Economy, Social
• Re-integrates the silos for city well being: city management, healthcare, education, community services, workplaces
• Maps  the essential patterns of city life:
  • Integral : inner/outer, individual/collective
  • Spiral Panarchy: nested holarchies in increasing complexity
  • Dynamic: adaptive change for sustainable life
  • Scales and Fractals: micro/meso/macro systems
• Goes beyond the attainment of Quality of Life to a Vision of Human Possibility
• Adds to the value of the Earth

 2.  On August 21 , 2007, Kamloops BC, IODA Pre-Conference Workshop  join Dr. Don Beck Founder of the Center for Human Emergence and co-author of Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change and Dr. Marilyn Hamilton, Founder Integral City.From Eco-Activist to Evo-Artist: Creating the Conditions for Change the World Needs Done .  This one day workshop will engage participants to move beyond eco-activism into evo-artistry. They will learn natural design principles that will enable them to get out from under the canopy of their own assumptions; move beyond the safe embrace of communities of practice; and discover the true diversity that lies beneath the surface of human emergence. Participants will gain access lenses of the developmental, evolutionary, complex adaptive system called Spiral Dynamics integral. They will learn key secrets behind the ongoing metamorphosis of global activists like Greenpeace, Forest Ethics and Integral Ecology and Sustainability. More than "being the change they want to see in the world," this workshop will challenge participants "to DO the change the world needs done," and give them tools for doing it.  Registration: ioda@integralcity.com
