Sense in the City NEWSLETTER January, 2006

Happy New Year Greetings Integral City Sense Makers !! 

 
... I hope this note finds you well with great prospects for 2006. 
 
...  this is a new newsletter preview service to give you an update on what is happening with www.integalcity.com  and Spiral Dynamics integral in Canada. 
 
.... over the last year  we have added to   www.integralcity.com :
 
1. Sparkies -- click and you will obtain an integral quote of the day.  The quotes cycle around the four quads.  Today's Integral City Sparkie for the City Heart:

.. . all sentient beings are always already and eternally free.  Wilber, K., Marriage of Sense and Soul, New York, Random House, 1998 
 
2. "Sense in the City" --  In 2005 we had 7 issues of our newsletter .  The first one for 2006 is the first annual "Glimpses of Integral Canada"  
 
At the end of 2005, with a year of global disasters behind us I wonder -- how well does Canada support the basic needs of human life at home and respond to tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes elsewhere? We are a nation of immigrants – how well do we remember and honour our roots? We are a nation of explorers and traders of both places and ideas – how well do we protect the freedoms of expression that drove us beyond old borders? We are a nation of peace, order and good government – how able are we to ensure mutual trust and respect? We are a nation of hewers of wood and drawers of water – how effectively do we steward our raw materials and produce our goods and services? We are a nation of social safety nets -- how willing and able are we to share our human and social capital with the rest of the world? We are a nation of innovative caregivers – how flexible are our healthcare systems? We are a nation of environmentalists – how effectively do we steward our nation’s natural resources? We are a nation of peacemakers - what kind of example do we set to which the world might aspire?

 4 Great news from Dr. Don Beck and SDG Group  -- I have the go ahead to deliver Spiral Dynamics integral Level 1 Certification training in Canada starting 2006.  Our first official training is targeted for Winnipeg April 28 - May  1, 2006.
