Brighton Integral Salon

## I just wanted to let you know that Integral College are starting another Level 1 - Integral Life Practice course ##

I also wanted to tell you how much I loved being on the course, I've met some great friends, really truly beautiful people that are a pleasure to know, and I've enjoyed moving closer to each and every one of them. And I reckon I've learned more about myself in the last 12-24 months than I did in the previous 6 years.

The facilitators Rex, James (and the whole group in fact) have a great nose for what's really important in individuals and in group dynamics and the wisdom and compassion that can arise in a course like this is truly unlike anything else I've ever attended

**It's also unlike anything else in the UK (or US for that matter!)**

I'm just wanting to share this with you as if anyone asked me what integral events, groups and courses would you recommend I would recommend Integral College over and above anything else out there. And, as 'salon organiser' (whatever happened to those salons?) I feel it is my duty to pass on the good word about these courses... there are at least 30 of you on this list who know this already of course so I'm doing it for you too :)

It's not cheap and it's not always fun... looking at the shadow is hard work!... but if you've got some spare time over the winter and are looking for some challenging personal development work and a community of wonderful, smart, integrally informed people to do it with then please please consider it. It's SOOOO much better than reading about it... get real, get into a group and have your integral eyes open wider than before. there are lots of ways to doing this, of course, but I urge you to consider this if it is the kind of thing that resonates with you and is what you're looking for or needing right now.

I've just finished level two and I'm so eager to start level three... that said I'm equally excited about seeing more friends and fellows coming out the other side of a course and seeing this beautiful Brighton integral community grow and grow and grow.

For more details email integraljames@mac.com

Hope you are all doing well, wherever you are, and whoever you are with.

Till next time

### Integral College Brighton invites you to a dynamic course on Integral theory and Integral life practice,’ Ways of Transformation’.###

#### Integral Theory gives us the most complete toolkit for understanding anything we choose to examine. Integral Life Practice gives us the most complete toolkit for individual and collective transformation.####

We bring this body of work to life for you through experiential and cognitive learning, so you can positively effect your health, personal development, relationships, work and the world.

This course integrates the best of ancient and modern knowledge and life practices into an exciting and effective new system. Structured over 6 months to give you 9 full days of balanced cognitive and experiential learning.

'Many courses explore theoretical perspectives, some undertake practical training; but this takes you on a transformative journey making theory experiential and experience meaningful.

Do it and be the change you want.' Martin [08 course]

Well.. that may not be entirely true (at all) but it WILL help us serve the Integral community better by providing you with the kind of Salon you'd like to see.

Spend two minutes telling us what you want and three of your friends will receive great good fortune this weekend*.

*Also not true but it might start a small kosmic groove of goodwill.

So... enough waffle... here is the form...

First an apology

As creator and organiser of the Salon.BrightonIntegral.com site, and much of our activities, I feel I should first apologise for not having been in touch for a while.

2008 has been an interesting year for me with the ending of a long relationship with an individual and an organisation - leaving wasn't easy, but that's another story for another day - and the second half of the year has been very quite while I've been focusing on the rather excellent Integral College Course.

Our last event (back in JUNE!) was such an outstanding success that it kind of left me reeling... wanting more but not knowing how to top the day course with Terry Patten. Then it was August, a busy month for anyone, and then all of a sudden it's December! Not sure how that happened.

The year in review

2008 was a fantastic year with so much happening it's hard to know where to start.

Having Robert Masters come and visit was an amazing experience for everyone concerned even the most skeptical among us found something of real benefit and value from the deep personal work of Robert and Diane.

Jon's Big Mind Session was also a great success and it'll be great to invite him back again in 2009. Jon went on to run a 6 week course in Sept-Oct and I hope to update his site with some more information on courses for 2009 - I little bird tells me that he'll be in Brighton for the foreseeable future. Which is great news I'm sure you'll agree.

Terry Patten's Integral Spirituality Day Course was also a huge success, my favourite event of the year, full of loving joy and deep sharing with some beautiful beautiful people. The feedback for this event was amazing and I'd love to receive more if you'd also like to review the year gone by.

Your reviews?

I'd love to hear what you thought or felt about any of the above. I'm shortly going to create a schedule for 2009 which will be jam packed with some juicy new ideas for getting the Brighton Integral community up and running. I've got a meeting next week to set something up so... more news very soon, I promise.

Drop an email to feedback@salon.brightonintegral.com and let me know what you enjoyed, or disliked, about 2008.
