“Geld regiert die Welt”. Was ist Geld wirklich? Anna Lisa Schmalz stellt den Frauen am Brunnen ihre Erkenntnisse vor
Daniel Juling hat solch eine neue Idee entwickelt. Bei seinem Ansatz “Orthogonale Führung” wird die unendlich große Ressource Nichtwissen absichtlich genutzt. Nichtwissen wirkt wie ein nicht wahrgenommener Seitenwind auf ein Boot, der einen vom Kurs abbringt. Diese Kursabweichung erleben wir als Überraschung bzw. Enttäuschung. Das passiert, wenn zum Beispiel unser Partner sich anders verhält als erwartet, wenn ein Diskussionspartner unseren Standpunkt einfach nicht verstehen will, wenn ein Projekt anders verläuft wie geplant, wenn der langjährige Kunde zum Mitbewerber geht, wenn wir uns über die Gesellschaft aufregen
Anhand ihres Stufenmodells stellt Barbara Küchler zusammen mit Bodo Frenk die Unterschiede dar, wie Männer und Frauen mit Macht umgehen. Wie üben sie Macht aus?

Eine Einführung zum Stufenmodell vom Sommer 2921 kannst Du hier finden: https://thewisdomfactory.net/barbara-kuchler/

Abhishek Thakore, integralist based in India, talks about the situation in India, about the culture differences and what he is doing to create a better life in his country.
We are at a turning point today, where traditional masculine leadership in business and politics is recognized as totally unable to create a human life on earth which respects and cares living beings as opposed to care for money and success by all means. We need new leadership principles and new leaders. We need a feminine approach integrated in whatever we do, “down to earth”, realistic and with empathy and love for others, ourselves, life, nature.
Nach 20 Jahren in der Geschäftsleitung im Mittelstand hat sich Carsten Grund 2018 als zertifizierter Systemischer Management Coach selbstständig gemacht. Mit Impulsen und Reflexion möchte er Entscheidern neue Erkenntnisse ermöglichen.
What we can learn from a man who lived all through the 20th century:
In this conversation we talk about Jorges Buch about his fictionalised history of a man fated to live in extraordinary times. Born in the epoch of empire, three decades after the Prussian-led unification of Germany, he was a living testimony to the fast-pacing, deep change that revolutionised societies in the 20th Century.
Barbara erklärt, wie sich Macht äußert auf den verschiedenen Stufen der Menschheitsentwicklung. Im Gespräch nehmen wir oft Bezug auf die gegenwärtige, von der Coronakrise geprägten Lage, um die Geschehnisse in die Stufen einordnen und damit verstehen zu können. Wir besprechen auch die Rolle der Frauen im Entwicklungsgeschehen.

Wulf Mirko Weinreich gibt eine umfassende Analyse der verschiedenen, teils sich feindlich gegenüberstehenden Positionen unter Verwendung der integralen Landkarte
Women and GirlS’ empowerment
Why is it so important that girls grow up with confidence in their abilities? Why are women more capable to handle life than men are, especially in countries like Kenia? The future there and that of the whole world depends on women stepping up and change the way how we are organised today – following masculine principles and power structures.
Macht und Liebe versöhnen
Gerade in Zeiten von Corona ist dieses Thema wieder in seiner Wichtigkeit offenbar geworden.
Im Gespräch geht es auch um die gegenwärtige Situation im Zeichen von Corona, aber auch um die Notwendigkeit des “empowerment” von Frauen, die hervortreten müssen und die weibliche Qualitäten nicht nur einbringen, sondern ihre Achtung und Wertschätzung einfordern müssen.

INTEGRATIVE vs. INTEGRAL MEDICINE with Matt Dorsey
THEY WERE LEFT BEHIND with John Taylor
John Taylor is a veteran from the Iraq war. He is now trying to raise consciousness about the fate of thousands of Iraqi (and Afghanistan) interptreters who have served the US army by taking huge risks for their lives and their families, and after the US soldiers left the country were left behind without any protetion or recognition of what they had done for the US. Only very few could enter into safety and come to the US so far. What can we do about that?

CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER – THE AFRICAN DIALOGUES
Caritas spoke at the Integral African Conference about her difficult journey escaping the genocide in Ruanda. See her talk here: In this conversation with Heidi she allows us an insight how the life of a refugee is like, even after having survived the worst. Heidi puts it into the context of the present European “refugee crisis” where refugees are left to die in the see and often treated badly on land. As if the Europeans had forgotten how many of them were refugees themselves, only a few decades ago!

INTEGRAL ASTROLOGY
Astrology is very important and often undervalued Typology, probably due to the rarely serious presentation of astrological advice in newspapers and journals. But actually, as soon as we strip it from the woo-woo components we find out that it is very neatly matching integral theory and should be considered as a valuable tool for knowing people and the world.
