Engage in a three-months long study

This warm, open and inviting group reads books together on topics germane to coaching, spirituality, development, trauma, etc. Each month the group engages in a discussion with each and the author.

How it works:

We’ll send some provocative study questions; all you do is read and connect to Zoom for the calls. The group reconstitutes itself each quarter and is composed of new participants and several returning members, some of whom have been in this Study Group together for many years.

Past authors include Michael Meade, Robert Kegan & Lisa Laskow Lahey, Ann Weiser-Cornell, David Whyte, Marshall Rosenberg, A.H. Almaas, Malcolm Gladwell, Bill Torbert, Wendy Palmer, Meg Wheatley, Juanita Brown, Otto Scharmer, Loch Kelly, and many more.

Glenn Wallis, author of Nietzsche Now!: The Great Immoralist on the Vital Issues of Our Time

October 29, 2024, 5-7pm PT

For readers both acquainted with and new to the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, Nietzsche NOW! frames and explains Nietzsche’s thinking on topics of immediate contemporary concern and relevance. Wallis unpacks Nietzsche’s complex philosophy with a deft, empathetic, and brilliantly subtle analysis of the views of the Great Immoralist on democracy, identity, civilization, consciousness, religion, and other momentous topics. Throughout, Wallis includes ample extracts from Nietzsche himself.

Rather than skirting what is controversial or editing for easy consumption, Wallis invites readers to exercise a courageous curiosity that yields a rich, nuanced understanding of Nietzsche. In Nietzsche NOW! he takes readers on a sometimes counterintuitive, always revelatory journey to grasp the relevance of Nietzsche for our contentious times.

Ulrich Baer, editor and translator of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Nietzsche on Love

November 26, 2024, 5-7pm PT

Friedrich Nietzsche presented many of his greatest insights in pithy, well-turned short phrases that do not follow any philosophical dogma. Instead, his chastening but ultimately life-affirming philosophy puts forth true love and friendship as our best hope in dark times. Here are Nietzsche’s key sayings about love from the vast body of his philosophical writings, which have influenced politics, philosophy, art and culture like few other works of world literature.

As the first edition of its kind, this collection presents Nietzsche’s thoughts on love not as academic philosophy but as a guide to life. At turns delightful and astute—and always wise—Nietzsche on Love offers an original and startling glimpse into what one of the world’s foremost thinkers says about the fundamental experience of our lives.

Integral Group Development

04/09/2025 – 07/23/2025 | Virtual | By Adam Klein & Sahar Azarabadi

Our inner critic can easily thwart our natural spontaneity and ingenuity. The clarion call is for creativity and resilience to turn the tide. We can hear hope at the edges. The longing for meaning and freedom is in our hearts.
