The Integral Health pod [formerly Integral Fitness] seeks to explore and implement an AQAL approach to health. However, we will not limit ourselves to Wilberian versions of integral; we seek all forms of integral understanding that can help us live healthier lives.

We will look at fitness and health through all the quadrants, levels, lines, and states.

While the quadrants are an important part of an integral model, we also believe that the experience of deepening states (gross, subtle, causal, non-dual) through different integral practices, including fitness, are an important area of exploration.

We believe that no one approach holds all the answers, so this pod will have several moderators: a personal trainer/nutritional consultant (Bill), an integrative healer who pulls from a wide range of experience (Seth), a registered nurse exploring applications of integral theory/SDi in the healthcare field (Monica), and an integrally-minded Environmental Studies graduate (Liz) who is now working toward becoming a naturopath.

Please join us as we seek an integrated health model that can support and sustain our lives and our growth.
