peers through a process in which a case
giver presents a case, and a group of 3-4

consultants based on the principles of the U-
Process and process consultation.
Case Clinics allow participants to:
Generate new ways of framing the issue.
Develop new approaches for responding to
the issue.” This section from, a “Case

Brian McConnell
As founding Director of group epignosis, Brian
has worked with the underpinnings of Integral
thought and theory since first introduced to Ken
Wilber's, Eye to Eye in 1997. Likewise, much of
his background with contemplative practice has
been informed through personal study and
practice in Theravada Buddhism.
Brian's current focus is grounded in exploring
organizational learning and conscious practice
through shared, collective experience.

The Integral Spiritual
Practitioners hub is
comprised in part by
practitioners who began
working together earlier this
year through their mutual
participation with MIT's
U.Lab in January.
Over this same period, they've
subsequently initiated and
supported each other in
various community related
projects

Reflective Overview - Learning Threshold
What do we need to let go of . . . and what do we need to
learn?
"Some models that employ state and realm technology, like Theory U
developed by MIT lecturer Otto Scharmer, are already gaining momentum
within both academic and business institutions. Scharmer's model includes
a new mode of collective problem solving. By taking groups through a cycle
of states, tracking from gross to subtle to causal back to subtle and back to
gross, the Theory U process results in emergent solutions that come from
exposure to alternate states." from Dustin DiPerna's, Streams of Wisdom -
pg. 160
