Greetings Integral
City-zens and
Friends of Integral City
Today's Integral City
Sparkie for the City Mind:
Clearly we have a powerful and dynamic mind, one that can recalibrate itself, form new vMEME systems in response to changing life conditions, and even create new organizational designs and functions in global arrangements unheard of only a decade ago. Beck, D., Cowan, C., Spiral Dynamics: Mastering Values, Leadership and Change, London, Blackwell, 1996
The theme for
this newsletter is Community and Homefulness. We
have an invitation for participation in a
Canadian Survey; the release of a new article on
Reframing Approaches to Homelessness; and the
2007 event schedule for Integral City Canada. As
usual we look forward to connecting with you.
1.
You are invited by Drs. Ann Dale and Chris
Ling to take the "Community Liveability Survey"
conducted under the auspices of Royal Roads
University. Regardless of geographic location,
our communities are formed by the individual
day-to-day choices we all make. Many of our
decisions to live more sustainably are shaped by
the community resources available to us such as
public transit, access to shops and restaurants,
water and sewer, friends and family, health
care, schools, services for seniors, and
recreational opportunities. But do we define
communities or do they define us?
If you are a Canadian resident and can spare a few minutes, please consider completing the online Community Liveability Survey at http://www.survey.crcresearch Five randomly chosen respondents will be selected at the end of the survey period to win an Apple iPod shuffleŽ. Your response is CONFIDENTIAL. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail Chris Ling, chris.ling@royalroads.ca . And PLEASE feel free to share this Survey link with ALL your friends, family and colleagues. 2 . Here is our 2007schedule for SDi and Integral City Workshop Events .

3. The Article
"Approaching Homelessness: An Integral
Reframe" - by Dr. Marilyn Hamilton is
just published in World Futures,
Volume 63 Issue 2, pp.107-pp.126. Access it at:
http://www.informaworld.com/openurl?genre=article&issn=0260-4027&volume=63&issue=2&spage=107&uno_jumptype=alert&uno_alerttype=author,email
This article explores a metaview of the many
faces of homelessness. It analyzes an
evolutionary meaning of home and suggests
that ever-complexifying life conditions
influence how societies enforce conformity
to the status quo of homefulness. It goes on
to describe how homelessness might be
reframed as a complex adaptive form of
survival for diversity generators who cannot
or will not conform to the status quo. The
article proposes an integral framework on
which intervention strategies could be
structured to provide evolutionary,
appropriate, and flexible approaches to
homelessness.
... we
hope these resources open some new doors for
your sense of belonging and opportunities to
contribute to creating the community you want
and the world needs.
... we
alway love to hear from
you
:-).
...integral cheers and
blessings ...
