| | How is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_theory|integral theory]] translated into futures studies? Deepening conversations, creating more holistic images for the future, putting the practitioners' own development as an important element in facilitating futures workshops... Rihcard Slaughter et al in the Australian futures community have a lot to say about it. A related, although somewhat different concept is "embodied foresight" discussed by Josh Floyd, Alex Burns and Jose Ramos - reading notes below. |

| <blockquote>Among the central discoveries of the Integral approach is that is it 'depth within the practitioner that determines how well or badly any particular method is used'. This is one of those rare 'new ideas' that changes everything. Among many other things it directs attention back and away from methods per se to the personal (and to some extent, social) interiors from which they emerged in the first place and upon which they entirely depend. Being a 'good futurist' or an 'effective foresight practitioner' is no longer a question that hinges on a one-dimensional concern for cognitive capacity! Many other lines of capability are involved along with requisite stages of development. A corollary is that the kinds of answers, solutions, that are now required cannot, in principle, be found in the domain of conventional thinking, conventional work (what I call 'problem oriented' futures). The latter has run its course and is now exhausted for non-trivial uses.</blockquote> | <blockquote>Among the central discoveries of the Integral approach is that is it 'depth within the practitioner that determines how well or badly any particular method is used'.
