Welcome to a world of goodness.

Wondering if this is for you? 

Integrity Dynamics is a practical approach for navigating the uncertainty, complexity, and urgency of our times with greater integrity. 

This course will shift your experience of yourself, others, and the world in profound and unpredictable ways.

It will challenge some assumptions and perturb the status quo, often revealing previously unrecognized perspectives and patterns of experience—blindspots, tender places, and sticking points.

Becoming more conscious of our experience in this way can be deeply unsettling, as we begin to surface the habitual beliefs, values, and assumptions about who we are and the nature of our reality that often influence our decisions and actions without our necessarily realizing it.

Yet, the process can also be immensely constructive as we liberate ourselves from habitual responses and outdated modes of being that no longer serve us or the greater world we inhabit, making space for new ways of being and doing that help us have a better experience of being human together.

It is not for everyone, especially not the faint-hearted or feeble-minded. 

This course is for those of you who:   

• sense that there is a deep shift needed in the way we live and work together

• yearn for goodness to prevail in the world

• want to navigate the gap between what is and what could be with fewer bumps and bruises

• seek to reorient yourself to a wholeness that can hold broken(hearted)ness

• understand that the simplicity on the other side of complexity is worth the effort, and that the roar on the other side of silence must be heard for us to truly live

• want to be welcome just as you are, freak(in’ genius) flag and all

• realize that sacred cows and white elephants have a lot to teach us

• need a refuge that enlivens rather than dulls the senses

• are tired of sitting alone in the dark worrying about the state of your sanity, your relationship, your household, your business/organization, your country, the world

• would like to be better equipped to address the complexity, uncertainty, and urgency of our times

It is for intrepid entrepreneurs, artists, activists, positive deviants, quiet revolutionaries, institutional innovators, global nomads, change makers, world shakers, troubadours, provocateurs, cape-less crusaders, and daring do-gooders committed to a world propelled by the wisdom of discerning knowledge, the compassion of genuine connection, and the power of embodied commitment. 

What will we explore together?

This course is a deep dive into Integrity Dynamics.

What does it cost?

If you've read this far, you probably have a sense that this work is valuable to you, but now you may be wondering what it will cost.

Me too.

I believe that anyone who really, truly, madly, deeply wants to take this course should be able to do so, and that the course experience is greatly enhanced when it's blessed with goodness from all walks of life. 

In a world of filter bubbles, echo chambers, and idealogical gated communities, it's so rare to have gracious space to explore beyond the safety and comfort of our own reflections.

I also believe in this work enough to deliver it for free, but I cannot (yet) afford to do so.

My life conditions are such that I am not independently (or dependently) wealthy, so this work also needs to contribute to my livelihood. 

This makes pricing trickier. 

How do I give this course away and pay my bills? How do I honor my commitment to making this work available to people from all walks of life and fulfill my real need to support my household? You know, make a difference, pay my mortgage, and keep my dog in kibble?

Conventional strategies would have me assess my need (or greed if I desire more than I really need) along with fair market rates, and then, price accordingly.

Pricing for such offerings really varies, but the going rates for transformative learning immersions with this kind of live, personalized online guidance and support is USD$1,000+.

Given my investment in producing and delivering this course, a price of $1,000+ seems fair, but this price makes the course unaffordable for many. 

After all, we live in a world in which a thousand dollars is a month's worth of café lattes for some, a monthly mortgage payment for others, or a year's salary in some countries.

I could cater to people with more means, and maybe offer a limited number of scholarships for those unable to pay the full price, or create a high volume/lower priced offering that forfeits the more personalized, intimate learning experience. 

But I can't help wondering if maybe there's a different way to do this, so I'm choosing to experiment with what's possible.

After all, it's hard (really impossible) to create a better experience of being human together if we can't even figure out a way to create spaces in which each of us is truly welcome.

Instead of making my income needs, production costs, desired profit margins, or market trends the basis for my pricing, I'm inviting you to contribute what you can given your careful consideration of the following:

What about you? Are you ready to join a constellation of bright human beings committed to a world of goodness?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this be offered on different dates and times?

Right course, wrong time?

*Although I have tried to accommodate as many timezones as possible in the course schedule, I am currently based in the Pacific Northwestern United States, so the course schedule reflects this timezone bias.

If you want to participate, but can't attend the current constellations, please get in touch to discuss other possibilities.

Please let me know what days/times might work for you, and if a constellation of people coalesces around those days/times, I will host additional constellations, schedule permitting.

I will continue to update this page as other opportunities arise.

If you would like to explore Integrity Dynamics within the context of your particular organization or community, please contact me directly to discuss possibilities.

Why twelve sessions?

As much as I’d love to offer this in a shorter timeframe, in my experience most of us do not become wiser, more compassionate, and more powerful in a weekend retreat, or even a week-long workshop. Although I may choose to offer retreats in the future, my focus is working with people ready to do the deep work necessary for a better future together.

This version of the course is designed to shift who and how you are in the world. 

For good. 

For your own good. For the common good. And for the good of the planet.

What is the time commitment?

How much time you spend on the course is entirely up to you. The approach requires dedicated time and attention to be most valuable, but I trust you to choose a level of engagement that supports your intentions for the course given whatever is happening in your life. 

Live sessions are 90-minutes long, and depending on the constellation you join,  are either weekly, or at least three times per month. Especially since these are not recorded, you will need to set aside time for these. Optional bonus exercises, each of which may take twenty minutes to an hour to complete, are offered between our online sessions. There is also a private online discussion group (via Facebook) available for you to participate in as much (or as little) as you'd like.

Why don't you offer recordings of the sessions? 

Recorded sessions are somewhat ubiquitous to online courses these days. However, having given this a lot of consideration, I decided not to offer recordings of the sessions for two important reasons:

1) This course tends to be most valuable when each of us feels free to live our questions aloud in confidence--to share our experiences and the magnificent messiness of whatever's real for us in the moment. Recordings make this more challenging as we tend to be self-conscious and self-editing when we know that we're being recorded. Moreover, we respect each other's privacy and honor confidentiality more fully without recordings.

2) This course requires real commitment, which at a bare minimum means showing up for the live sessions. Every single person's presence contributes something essential to their particular course constellation. Even with the best intentions, recordings offer an “out” and increase the likelihood that people will succumb to the resistance to change or competing priorities that life inevitably presents, and opt out of the sessions. 

There really is no substitute for being present. When you don't show up, you cheat yourself from being truly present with what's happening as it is unfolding, and you cheat us from benefiting from your vital presence in the moment.

So harness that FOMO (fear of missing out) for good, and plan to show up.

If your current life circumstances don't support your ability to attend the video-conference sessions, I suggest that you defer taking the course until a time when you can participate more fully. 

What happens if I miss a session?

We will miss you. Really. The sessions aren't the same without you. No one else can bring your uniquely brilliant "You-ness" to the sessions.

Please don't miss a session.

That said, if you can't avoid missing a session, please let us know in advance whenever possible, and connect with the constellation later in the private online discussion group to find out what you missed.

What technology do I need to participate?

The online sessions are held via ZOOM, a video-conferencing platform that supports computers or tablets. You can also call in via phone using dial in numbers. 

Those without video or internet access are welcome to participate by phone, but if you have the ability to do so, please show-up on screen. 

Why are the constellations limited to 10 participants?

Because our work together is likely to be deeply personal, nuanced, and transformative, each Integrity Dynamics class (constellation) is limited to ten participants. Together, we create an intimate, playful, confidential space for potent learning, brave inquiry, and genuine connection.

In what language is the course taught?

As much as I would love to be multi-lingual, the course is currently only offered in English.
