About: I'm a long-time resident of Sedona, Arizona. I pay the bills working as a professional photographer.

With respect my involvement with all things integral, I served as the leader of Integral Sedona's first Leadership Team, and am currently the inspiration behind Integral Rising, Jesus Rising, the Integral Community Organizers Network, Integral NHNE, and Sedona Rising.

After going through a major meltdown in our local integral community (Integral Sedona), I'm currently taking a close look at how the integral impulse can be effectively manifested in community environments. The greatest challenge I see is what I would call an intellectual elitism that seems to dominate the integral world. Here's how I described this challenge on the Integral Community Organizers Network:

"The biggest challenge I have faced... is finding healthy, helpful ways to deal with what appears to be a very strong elitist mentality in the integral world. Much of the integral world I am connected with is strongly aligned with Ken Wilber and his particular version of integral. While I deeply resonate with almost everything Ken has to say, I have found it very challenging to deal with what I experience as a rigid, near-fundamentalist mentality for championing his work. I have also noticed that the integral world, as it exists today, tends to attract people with very strong intellectual abilities. I love this, but have noticed that deep intellectual understandings do not always translate into honoring others with less intellectual abilities, or recognizing that others with less intellectual abilities may actually be more advanced in other lines of development, or their overall center of gravity. I currently believe that in order for the integral impulse to spread and stick in community environments that are made up of many different kinds of people, with many different kinds of intelligences, life experiences, aptitudes, and gifts to offer, these two tendencies need to come into balance."
