Integral Action Community Training [ I-ACT ] I-ACT is the newest cutting-edge SYNTHESIS program which connects “Integral Theory” models developed by philosopher Ken Wilber & contemporary organizing skills and tactics for new leaders. Over the course of a series of workshops & seminars, participants will be collaborating in supportive team networks & will be empowered to collaborate together to create campaigns and community actions after the program is completed. Currently, our “next generation” is continuing to use outdated methods to achieve social and environmental justice. In an interconnected and interrelated world, most youth and student activists are focusing their energies on single issues and identity politics, missing the opportunity to create new solutions to our most challenging domestic and global problems. |
