Lynn and José are leading exponents of the new wave of consciousness that is coming into the world. Long time teachers of integral philosophy and life practice, of “waking up” and “growing up” which merges Eastern awakening practice with western developmental psychology, they bring clarity to often obscure spiritual and psychological subjects and inspire others to find lives of peace, balance, joy, and love.
Lynn has a BA in politics, an MA in communication, a JD in law, and a Ph.D. in transpersonal psychology and conflict management. She has worked as a lawyer, mediator, college professor, and online course designer and instructor. The founder of the Chronic Illness Initiative at DePaul University and an expert in chronic illness, she has taught and written on psychology, conflict resolution, health, and development. Her books include The Koan of Chronic Illness: An Integral Approach; After the Wrecking Ball: Ten Principles for Finding Peace in the Midst of Chaos; and It’s Not Too Late: You Can Build a Bright Future Starting Right Now. Lynn is certified as an SQ 21 coach, a Stages International assessment scorer and debriefer, and a Lectica debriefer.
A key player in bringing integral programs and processes to the Spanish speaking world, José founded La Vida Integral in 2021 with four partners to offer integrally informed, high level opportunities for people to learn and practice an integral consciousness. Jose has a degree in engineering, many years of experience as a monastic, and many years in the telecommunications industry in both the USA and Colombia where he also founded the publication Computer World in Colombia. He teaches courses in meditation and in the Course in Miracles. José is certified as a coach in SQ21, the Now Technique, The Sedona Method, Conscious Language of Mastery Systems, and AONC.
As recognized leaders in the integral movement, their mission is to help usher this new consciousness into the world through their teaching, networking, and coaching. They have also created and hosted two global integral conferences: the Hispanoamerica Integral Encuentro in Bogota, Colombia in June 2019 and the What’s the Future and What Can We Do About It? in Sedona, Arizona in November 2022.
