As meditators we get skilled with states but have remained ignorant of stages. This is not in our best interest. You can meditate forever and still be at a low stage of human development.” —Qapel Doug Duncan and Catherine Pawasarat Sensei \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Along with the work of waking up—cultivating an enlightened state—we also need to do the work of growing up. This means learning to integrate the clear state into the world through doing our shadow work\, developing our communication\, and diving into critical developmental growth to be a fully integrated human being. In this course we explore the elements of a fit and dynamic vehicle for 21st-century awakening\, and beyond. Note: Integral Spirituality by Ken Wilber is a pre-requisite for the course.

The last major evolution in Buddhist Dharma was more than 1000 years ago with Vajrayana. Now with psychology\, integral spirituality and science\, something new is emerging. Along with the work of waking up– cultivating an enlightened state – we also need to do the work of growing up. This means learning to integrate a clear state in the world through doing our shadow work\, developing our communication skills and working through the critical human development stages – individually and collectively.

We agree! In this course\, we are excited to be taking this work forward and translating it practically\, based on our lineage’s working experience of modern spiritual community.
