13. Motivating tomorrow's adults today by developing the talent within
We believe that education should be about
equipping young people with the skills they
need for life beyond the walls of school,
college and university.
Burning2Learn runs education programmes
at business, education and entertainment
events that are geared towards raising self-
esteem and confidence.
Our programmes are for students of all
ages/academic levels, and are tailored to the
needs of the individual. By identifying talents
and developing life skills our programmes
also build resilience and motivate young
people to take a more active role in
determining their own futures.
We encourage our students to think deeper,
to ask more questions and to put forward
their own responses to key issues in the 21st
century. In doing so, we aim to better prepare
young people for life in modern Britain
Burning2Learn aims to transform young people's skills, attitudes and life
chances by offering enterprising and self-empowering learning
experiences within education. To achieve this, we work with schools,
businesses and community partners to develop programmes
that enhance engagement in learning and enable young people to
learn about the business world that they will one day need to transfer
their skills into.
We approach learning with a holistic human-centric ethos which
embeds developing confidence, self-esteem and motivation within
young people at the heart of all our programmes.

EDUCATION : Open & Child-Centred
16. www.ted.com/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity
Sir Ken Robinson has suggested that to engage and succeed, education has to
develop on three fronts.
First, that it should foster diversity by offering a broad curriculum and encourage
individualisation of the learning process.
Second, it should foster curiosity through creative teaching, which depends on high
quality teacher training and development.
Third, it should focus on awakening creativity through alternative didactic processes
that put less emphasis on standardised testing, thereby giving the responsibility for
defining the course of education to individual schools and teachers.
Successful school administration is a matter of fostering a helpful climate rather than
"command and control”
Sir Ken Robinson Ted talk in 2006 has been watched by over
46million people. It is hard to understand why the education
process/model we loosely call education has not really
transformed to be more relevant to the 21st century.
The world is changing so fast that our systems are struggling, can
we support the creative ones who speak out. Help Burning2Learn
to tip the balance to create an ‘education’ system that is truly child
the centred. Make the box fit the child not the child fit the box.

www.burning2learn.co.uk
Release teachers talents and they will unlock and develop
our children. With the world changing so fast skills sets are
being revaluated. Governments and societies are looking for
direction and are become stuck in research and action
planning, which fails to have impact
In 2013 Google evaluated their hiring hypostasis using their
data since 1998. To their surprise employees with high STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics) skills
were not at the top. Communication and listening were right
up there. Let us all be honest, we don't truly listen to others.
Burning2Learn’s success in education has come from
listening. Young people soon pick up on the fact that you
are takeing them seriously. By this we are not saying all their
views are correct but by meeting people where they are and
not judging their values or culture we have captured their
trust and thus their involvement.
Often our mindsets are stuck in the 1930’s. Co-creation and
collaboration are difficult for those in education to teach.
This is because the mindsets and structure of society tend to
be all about me.
The sense of collaboration can be seen in sport by the
teams, coaches and fans. A sense of belonging that does
not need academic rigour.
Free up our schools to collaborate in their
communities. Place the children at their heart, use
technology to provide education that meets
the child’s emotional and other needs - then we will truly
develop them to their full potential.

Education: organisation: society: Toffler
.. to ignore the relationship between the educational
system of the future and the media system of the future
is to cheat the learners who will be formed by both.
Revolutionary new forms of education will be needed
that are not based on the old factory model.
Knowledge (which includes such things as imagination,
values, images, and motivation, along with formal
technical skills) is increasingly central to the economy.
Social justice and freedom both now increasingly
depend on how each society deals with three issues:
education; information technology (including the
media); and freedom of expression.
A high-choice system will have to replace a low-choice
system if schools are to prepare people for a decent life
in the new third wave society, let alone for economically
productive roles.
In the case of education, the re conceptualisation now
required is so profound, reaching so far beyond
questions of budgets, class size, teachers pay, and the
traditional conflicts over curriculum,......
Like the second wave TV networks, .... our mass
education systems are largely obsolete.
www.amazon.com/Third-Wave-Alvin-Toffler/dp/0553246984
The proposition that Soles can provide intellectual
stimulus and encourage children to achieve more than we
previously thought possible is entirely reasonable. So are
the propositions that children can benefit from
collaborative learning and that banning internet use from
exams will get trickier, to the point where it may prove
futile. It’s worth remembering that new technologies nearly
always deliver less than we expect at first and far more
than we expect later on, often in unexpected ways.

If we really do listen to what children and young people
have to say, we will see that they have interesting ideas and
add great value to finding solutions to problems. We must
move beyond seeing children and young people as
passive citizens, but rather as competent partners. UNICEF
demonstrates the reasons why children’s participation is
vital:
• Because…A child whose active engagement with the
world has been encouraged from the outset will be a
child with the competencies to develop through early
childhood, respond to educational opportunities and
move into adolescence with confidence, assertiveness
and the capacities to contribute to democratic dialogue
and practices within the home, school, community and
country.
• Because children have proved that when they are
involved, they can make a difference in the world around
them…
• Because… The values of democracy, such as respect for
the rights and dignity of all people, for their diversity and
their right to participate in the decisions that affect them,
are first and best learned in childhood.
Authentic, meaningful participation prepares children for
their stake in the future.

Always remember there is no 'reality'.
Change is neither good nor bad - it
always involves danger and opportunity.
Change involves danger because it
begins with loss.
• You have to let go of where you are, to
get to where you want to be.
• You have to leave something behind.
• Whether a change is positive or
negative, loss is always involved.
Change also always involves opportunity.
• The opportunity may not be obvious
or immediate. Sometimes you need to
search for it.
• Seeking the opportunity is a choice.

human journey in its various categories - phylogeny, ontogeny, physical, intellectual, emotional, civilizational and cultural.
‘Edu-cate’ in Latin means – to ‘draw out’
Ken Wilbur "Humanity is flying way under its full potential simply because we do not educate for the whole or complete human
being. We educate for just a small part, a slice, a fragment of just what's possible for us...”
The Neuro Programs are based on the premises that: All children are intelligent and have a natural love and thirst for learning.
“To learn effectively children must have well-developed sensory motor processes. Reading, speaking and writing are seen as ‘the
basics’ when they are in fact extremely complex neurological tasks requiring the senses, muscles, nerves and the brain to all work
together.”
Neuro Programs emphasise the importance of well-developed, balanced sensory motor integration

Neuro Programs have been delivered in schools to achieve the
following:
Enhancing critical ages and stages in early brain development to
create sound foundations for learning, intellectual, physical and
social skills for each child
Addressing the root causes within each individual for the various
challenges or ‘symptoms’ they display which are interfering with
physical, social, behaviour and intellectual performance
Enhancing the critical stages a posteriori, regardless of the various
challenges or ‘symptoms’ they display, which are interfering with
classroom performance and academic outcomes
Physical and mental activities, that are easy to implement
The Neuro Program emerged from the following principles:
All human beings are born with an “old brain” and a “new brain”
The “old brain” took a few million years to evolve
The “new brain” has been around for about 100,000 years
The old brain is the foundation that enables the new brain (our
‘thinking and learning’ brain) to function at our optimum potential
The Neuro Program and a Computer Analogy:
The old brain is like the hard drive and needs to be in the highest
working order
The new brain or cortical brain is like the ‘software or our thinking
brain that runs on the hardware
If the hardware is dysfunctional, the software will not deliver its

What We Can Do:
Education focused on transformation from inside out, in a bottom up approach
Maximizing human potential through the neuro programs based on the Human Evolutionary
Matrix (HEM) is highlighted in this document. The neuro programs are about linking brain
development, human evolution and human potential. On a broad spectrum, this addresses
the human journey in its various categories integral to life: the phylogeny, ontogeny,
physical, intellectual, emotional, social, civilizational, cultural, religious and spiritual
components.
Background
Neuro Network has been setting a new trend in education by coaching parents and teachers
to enjoy being the best educators of future leaders. 'Edu-cate' in Latin means, to 'draw-out'.
In view of this, one objective of what we do is to facilitate for better understanding of the
multi dimensions of brain development as the springboard for tapping into human and
spiritual potential for all ages. Program activities that address brain development also deals
with the numerous labels we are diagnosed with (related to learning difficulties) including
the growing trend in mental illnesses manifesting at a much earlier age.
Globally a lot of money is being spent in two key areas:
a) assisting the younger generation to address a deepening social crisis
b) assisting indigenous communities to adapt to modern civilisation
The neuro program gives individuals a natural access to inner resources of balanced
development, critical thinking skills and consequences of behaviour including an intrinsic
understanding of universal values.
Wherever the neuro program has been delivered, it has enabled a three dimensional
appreciation leading to a higher perspective and spontaneous enthusiasm from within. The
noun enthusiasm comes from the Greek word enthousiasmos, from enthous, meaning
“possessed by a god, inspired from within.” Individuals develop leadership skills and initiate
taking responsibilities to becoming global citizens.

Education:
EARTHwise Youth Custodianship
Empowering our Youth by training them (and
their caregivers/teachers) in developing the
competencies, wisdom, and skills to become
Custodians for our collective thriveability is
one of the most important tasks of our
societies. This is clearly outlined in UN Agenda
2030 for Sustainable Development and it’s
SDGs. To implement these commitments,
however, requires a whole system approach.
This starts by re-envisioning the role and
purpose of education. It also requires a
decoupling of educational policies and goals
from our mainstream economic models that
are currently driving goals and outcomes that
are incompatible with the SDGs. These are the
principles we work with, as part of our
Education for Sustainability programme.
EARTHwise Centre is a wisdom-based enterprise providing custodianship, leadership, value-creation,
regenerative design, capacity development, holistic education, and vision development for our collective
flourishing and actualisation. We support organisations to raise their standards, and develop internal capacity
and leadership for ecological value creation and thriveability. We bring the heart back into our human activities
and networks

Educational Principles for cultivating Youth
Custodianship.
1. Holistic development of the child – Aim to
facilitate each child’s unique and natural
development holistically and systemically,
with full respect and care for the child and
his/her unique circumstances and
capabilities.
2. Value based education – Support children
to discover and develop their intrinsic
custodianship values experientially. These
values include, among others, care, love,
mutuality, respect, listening, reciprocity,
compassion, empathy, gratitude,
playfulness, and curiosity. Provide projects
and learning tasks that inspire children to
discover, experience, and apply these
values experientially.
3. Learning by being part of the world –
Facilitate learning tasks that support
children to feel at home in the world, and
especially in their natural environment.
Contextualize learning in “dialogue with
place”, to develop relationships of care and
custodianship for the places in which we
live, and the people and beings we share
this with.
4. Encourage whole-self development –
Support children to discover, develop and
actualise their whole-self potentials -
physically, emotionally, intellectually and
spiritually - in an integrated way.
5. Sustaining and enhancing the learning
potential of the child – Through playful
systems thinking exercises, practices of
care, and innovative learning
methodologies keep learning fun,
meaningful and applied to the whole self
development of the child. Contextualise
their learning experiences to the real life
challenges that matter to them by
facilitating their development from within
these challenges.
6. Create ecosystems that learn from and
with the children - Develop and implement
holistic evaluation indicators that engage
children to provide and receive meaningful
feedback, as conscious learners within the
larger ecosystems in which their learning
takes place. Align these with the SDG
goals, and implement this into the
curriculum systems.
7. Learning from and for the future – Inspire
higher educational standards based on a
positive vision about the purpose that
education is meant to serve, within the
context of our current sustainability
challenges. Empower children as the
Future Custodians for thriveable societies,
based on regenerative design principles
and practices of deep care for our
planetary and collective wellbeing.

41. Learning Power is an interdependent set of 8
human qualities, values and capabilities that
combine to determine an individuals learning
effectiveness in a given context.
Researched, Identified and captured in a formal
diagnostic tool by University of Bristol, England, the
researchers found these dimensions exist in all of us
and, while some may be more natural to use than
others, we can all improve any of them.
As learning power improves through practice, our
ability to perform, including the quality of our
thinking, decision-making, self-awareness and
interpersonal effectiveness also improves.
The Learning Power model has been developed,
extended and scaled by Learning Emergence LLP, a
not-for profit partnership working globally to embed
Learning Power diagnostic and improvement tools
and processes in education, business and social
change organisations.
Learning Emergence is in the process of driving a
transformational change in its ability to deliver

Since the 19th century, the School has played three major roles: the education of children, the socialization of children
and, finally, a utilitarian role, that is to say preparing students for the world of work. Today, however, the first two seem
to be lost in favour of the third. This is now taking a dominant role - training children for a world of work that is
increasing out of date.
Transitioning – M&M to GOE
Learning by modelling is still important - but satisfaction of the embryonic ego will also influence what is learned
The relationship with the
"teacher" is critical - that
person must be a mystical,
shamanistic figure.
School – Mythical and Magic : M&M
- Instant results - pain or punishment
- No threats, only promises of certain outcomes
- Hands-on action learning, the opportunity to experience it for themselves
- What is learned needs to be immediately relevant to the circumstances
individuals perceives themselves to be in
- Respect for the "teacher" as a hero figure is important but
“Teacher” must also show
respect back to the
blossoming egos
School – Growth of blossoming Egos : GoE
Transitioning – GoE to C&C
What pleases (or is immediately relevant) is still central but there is also some desire now to know what the procedures for learning
are - and that leads to WHAT should be learned
- Acceptance of Truth from the Higher Authority
- Prescriptive teaching/learning - following set procedures
- Right/wrong feedback - testing on the learning
A utilitarian role, that is to say preparing students for the world of work
The work set by “teacher’ will
be done because it is "the
correct thing to do" - but don't
expect imagination in the work

- Complete self-motivation to achieve the desired future outcome(s)
The primary goal of the school has been to provide children with a foundation of knowledge, to inculcate common
values and standards in order to promote the solidarity of individuals within a society and possibly to contribute to
social mobility. A more detailed analysis shows that the school is not neutral and always contributes to the legitimization
of the system in place.
Transitioning – E&i to ODP
Broader concerns now start to emerge and there is a need to make sure everybody is getting opportunities
School – Enterprise and Innovation : E&i
"Teacher" role is now a

School - Opportunity and Developing Potential : ODP
- Bigger picture thinking and emotional responsiveness
- What is important can be subject to consensus
- Learning from peers/group learning

you do makes a difference, and you have to
decide what kind of difference you want to

Eight principles can be used to
describe the underlying nature of
mindsets. These principles have
been adapted from David Gray’s
book ’Liminal Thinking..’
1) Mindsets are unique to everyone
2) Mindsets are created by our
experiences
3) Mindsets are imperfect models
of reality
4) Mindsets govern our actions
5) Mindsets create our shared world
6) Mindsets are self-protective
7) Mindsets create blind spots
8) Mindsets can be changed

……. there is no way to avoid the subconscious influence of our mindsets. Its hidden web of influence
permeates everything—all the time. What’s inside us, our beliefs, attitudes and assumptions—manifests outside,
pulling the strings of our future possibilities on both an individual and a collective level.

Surviving
Surviving simply means ‘to continue to
live or exist’ after uncertainty or crisis.
Resilience
In psychology, resilience is defined as an
individual’s ability to adapt to life
challenges, social disadvantages or highly
adverse conditions.
Thriving
Thriving is a condition beyond resilience
and surviving. The concept is drawn from
evolutionary sciences, in which successful
adaptations have three characteristics:
• preserving what it needs to survive
• discarding or rearranging what it no
longer needs, and
• creating new arrangements that
generate capacity to flourish in more
challenging conditions.
Are we teaching to survive or teaching
to thrive?
Imagine a school where teachers and students tend to
each other’s wellbeing on a daily basis. A school where
everyone is aware of the conditions that create thriving
learning communities. A school where teachers and
students alike openly discuss their strengths,
weaknesses, hopes and dreams for themselves and the
world.

51. The perspective (concepts/lens) through which we view our
world are mostly self-built, based on life conditions (and
genes). These life conditions help develop our mindset, values,
and our depth and complexity of consciousness. That is, we
mostly ‘self-construct’ the world that we are aware of or 'see'.
Different perspectives ('lenses’) bring forth different worlds in
the same ‘physical’ space.
Our own perspective (lens) is developed from many of the
following:
• Age
• Gender
• Mindset
• Culture (Dominant mode of discourse)
• Community (Dominant mode of discourse)
• Family (Dominant mode of discourse)
• Country (Dominant mode of discourse)
• Location
• Geography
• Rural/Urban
• Climate
• Education type and level
• Experience of all kinds
• Multi cultural/country embeddedness
• Personal Centre of Gravity - values/altitude
• etc.
In order to transform to a broader perspective we need to
transcend our current ‘lens’ (include its positive aspects) and
unlearn the lesser or negative elements. This is difficult as in
transformation all the above need to be re-evaluated and
transcended.
People do not perceive worlds but enact them. Different mindsets bring forth different worlds.

52. Ecological Systems Theory
How is a child's development affected by their social
relationships and the world around them? Ecological
systems theory provides one approach to answering
this question. The ecological systems theory was
developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner.
Bronfenbrenner believed that a person's
development was affected by everything in their
surrounding environment. He divided the person's
environment into five different levels: the
microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the
macrosystem, and the chronosystem.

53. Primary: The eight sectors are designed to
indicate that there are eight primary emotion
dimensions. They are anger, anticipation, joy,
trust, fear, surprise, sadness and disgust.
Intensity: The cone’s vertical dimension
represents intensity – emotions intensify as they
move from the outside to the center of the
wheel. For example, a feeling of boredom can
intensify to loathing if left unchecked. This is an
important rule about emotions to be aware of in
relationships: If left unchecked, emotions can
intensify. Herein lies the wisdom of enhancing
your emotional vocabulary: it’s the bedrock of
effectively navigating emotions.
Relations: Each circle sector has an opposite
emotion. The opposite of sadness is joy, and the
opposite of trust is disgust. Can you find the
opposite of anticipation? …
The emotions with no color represent an
emotion that is a mix of the 2 primary emotions.
For example, anticipation and joy combine to be
optimism. Joy and trust combine to be love.
Emotions are often complex, and being able to
recognize when a feeling is actually a
combination of two or more distinct feelings is a
helpful skill. That is a basic guide for interpreting
the emotion wheel created by psychologist
Robert Plutchik.

54. Probabilistic Epigenesis
Gilbert Gottlieb's Probabilistic Epigenesis
Probabilistic epigenesis is the view that the development
of an organism is dependent on the bidirectional
influences of interacting biological and environmental
forces that form a larger system.
His view attempts to encompass all of the factors
influencing development, how these factors interact with
one another and how this interaction shapes individual
development. He believed these influences occur over the
course of evolution as well as throughout an individual's
lifespan. Gottlieb describes four different interacting
dynamics:
behavior, neural activity, genetic activity and environment.

COLLECTION
• Build in content from the indicator
table into the feedback forms,
proposal questions, grant reports,
forum retrospectives, etc.
• This will generate actual numbers
along the 1-5 spectrum for these
indicators, which can be
quantified and used in evaluation
analysis and reporting.
• Any thing you quantify (numbers
of participants, proposals or multi
sector tables) can be useful to
analyze and include.
SECOND-PERSON DATA COLLECTION
• At the Evaluation Pod meetings and
Development Evaluation (DE) meetings generate
discussion and reflection through prompting
with skillful DE questions. Then, harvest the
insights and doing pattern-finding; that is where
indicators come in.
• Community Liaison carry out this pattern-finding
afterwards then reflect back to the other
participants later.
• During the DE sessions, do some group pattern-
finding with indicator tables written on flip-
charts, and participants use post-it notes to tag
where in the spectrum they would say the
outcome was achieved. This is based on
participant-observation, and is co-generated in a
focus-group style meeting.
FIRST-PERSON DATA
COLLECTION
• To generate thick descriptions
on these indicators (about how
and why changes occurred as
they did):
• use more in-depth reflective
questions posed within one of
the activities, such as a
qualitative question in a survey
• or by doing key-informant

62. Over the last 30 years various individuals have
created multiple capital frameworks which include
anywhere between 3 and 20 different types of
capital. We’ve done an integrative meta-analysis
of over a dozen of these frameworks to identify
what are the most important forms of capital to
include in an expanded framework and how might
we combine them into an elegant and intuitive
framework – one that not only includes essential
types of capital but highlights the different kinds
of relationship between these capitals.
In 2011 the International Integrated Reporting
Council (IIRC) began a multi-year global initiative
to develop an expanded model of capital.
Through their process they identified six types of
capital that should be included in an integrated
report. We have included all six of these in our
model (they are identified with an asterisk after
their name in our model). In addition to these six
we have included four more that our analysis
indicates are necessary for a comprehensive
assessment of value creation.
Then using Integral Theory we have organized
these into four quadrants.
Below is a set of slides that show the complete 10
capital model followed by a single slide for each
type of capital and ending with the red icon we
use for the MetaImpact Framework.

63. Clear Impact
One of the most common forms of impact is Clear Impact, which measures
change in stakeholder performance. Many businesses and organizations
include various metrics to assess this area of impact (e.g., skill assessments,
analytics, observation tools, and various KPIs). What all these metrics have in
common is the focus on objective criteria to track behavior and performance.
These four types of impact
combine to create a
comprehensive model
of impact …High Impact
The other main form of impact is High Impact, which measures change in
stakeholder systems (e.g., supply chains, cash flow, customer engagement) .
Many businesses and organizations include various metrics to assess this area
of impact (e.g., environmental impact assessments, financial impact
assessments, input indicators, and various KPIs). What all these metrics have
in common is the focus on interobjective or systemic criteria to track
organizational and market dynamics.
Wide Impact
Over the last decade it has become more common for organizations to
include Wide Impact, which measures change in stakeholder relationships.
With forms of network analysis and social mapping there have emerged
various metrics to assess this area of impact (e.g., 360 Assessments,
relationship mapping, interviews, and social impact assessments). What all
these metrics have in common is the focus on intersubjective criteria to track
the quality and quantity of relationships and their influence.
Deep Impact
Arguably, one of the most important forms of impact is Deep Impact, which
measures change in stakeholder experience. There is a growing awareness
among many businesses and organizations that this form of impact needs to
be included. Various metrics are used to assess this area of impact (e.g., self-
evaluations, psychometrics, satisfaction surveys, and happiness inventories).
What all these metrics have in common is the focus on subjective criteria to
track somatic, emotional, and psychological dimensions of experience.

4 Impacts
Integral Monitoring & Evaluation
64. www.metacapital.net
The 10 Capitals and their forms of
measurement combine into 4 Bottom
Lines. These include the common triple
bottom line of Profit, People, and Planet
but also adds a 4th – Purpose. While a
number of 4 bottom line models have
been proposed – some of which even
include Purpose as a fourth – our
approach to having 4 bottom lines is
distinct in at least two ways.
First, the common bottom lines of Profit,
People, and Planet are often exclusively
defined in terms of what we would call
High Impact – with a focus on the systems
involved. In contrast to this we redefine
each of these bottom lines in a more
holistic and integrative fashion – building
on the important work of previous uses
but avoiding a reductive approach to
these bottom lines.
Second, we place the four bottom lines
around our four quadrant model in a way
that highlights specific relationships
between the bottom lines. For example,
each bottom line shares 2 or 3 forms of
capital as part of its constitution. This
enables an important form of integration
between all four bottom lines.
Together these 4 bottom lines
combine to form the MetaImpact
Framework.

65. Almost all education has a political motive: it aims at
strengthening some group, national or religious or
even social, in the competition with other groups. It is
this motive, in the main, which determines the
subjects taught, the knowledge offered and the
knowledge withheld, and also decides what mental
habits the pupils are expected to acquire. Hardly
anything is done to foster the inward growth of mind
and spirit; in fact, those who have had the most
education are very often atrophied in their mental
and spiritual life.-

68. • the importance of the ‘self’ as the navigator of the great ‘River of
Life’ should not be overlooked. It appears that the self is not a
monolithic entity but rather a society of selves with a centre of
gravity, which acts to bind the multiple waves, states, streams, and
realms into something of a unified organization; the disruption of
this organization, at any of its general stages, can result in
pathology.
Such are a few of the multiple factors that a richly holistic view of the
Kosmos might wish to include. At the very least, any model that does
not coherently include all of those items is not a very integral model.

• Social system
the massively influential forces of the social system, at all levels
(from nature to human structures, including the all-important impact
of nonhuman social systems, from Gaia to ecosystems).
• Cultural factors
the extraordinarily important impact of numerous cultural factors,
including the rich textures of diverse cultural realities, background
contexts, pluralistic perceptions, and so on, none of which should
be unwarrantedly marginalized, all of which should be included and
integrated in a broad web of integral-aperspectival tapestries (and,
just as important, a truly "integral transformative practice" would
give considerable weight to the importance of relationships,
community, culture, and intersubjective factors in general, not as
merely a realm of application of spiritual insight, but as a mode of
spiritual transformation).

69. A Broader Framework (IMP)
IMP – integral Methodological Pluralism
A set of social practices that corresponds with
AQAL metatheory. (see earlier volumes 1 to 8)
IMP is paradigmatic in that it includes the most
time-honored methodologies, and meta-
paradigmatic in that it weaves them together by
way of three integrative principles:
• non-exclusion,
• unfoldment, and
• enactment
With regard to IMP, we can put the crucial point
very simply: what if an individual .. accepted the
basic validity of
• hermeneutics and
• systems theory and
• introspective phenomenology and
• empirical science and
• shamanic states of consciousness and
• developmental psychology and
• collaborative inquiry and
• ecological sciences and
• postmodern contextualism and
• neuroscience and
....
If the basic legitimacy of all of those time-tested
methodologies is allowed, then the experiences
that all of those social practices enact, bring forth,
and illumine become grist for the mill of a ….
metatheory that accounts, or at least attempts to
account, for all of them in a believable, coherent
fashion
These three regulative principles — non-exclusion,
enfoldment, enactment--are principles that were
reverse engineered, if you will, from the fact that
numerous different and seemingly "conflicting"
paradigms are already being competently
practiced all over the world; and thus the
question is not, and never has been, which is
right and which is wrong, but how can all of them
already be arising in a Kosmos?
These three principles are some of the items that
need to be already operating in the universe in
order for so many paradigms to already be
arising, and the only really interesting question is
how can all of those extraordinary practices
already be arising in any universe?
Integral Methodological Pluralism
70. • comprehensive,
• inclusive,
• non-marginalizing,
• embracing.
Integral approaches to any field attempt
to be exactly that –
to include as many:
• perspectives,
• styles, &
• methodologies
as possible within a coherent view of the
topic.
In a certain sense, integral approaches are
“meta-paradigms,” or ways to draw together
an already existing number of separate
paradigms into an interrelated network of
approaches that are mutually enriching.

75. The Process of Learning:
The main reason that learning is as slow as it is, is
that learning means giving up ideas, habits, and
values.
Some of the old "learning" that has to be given
up or "unlearned" was useful in the past, and is
still useful to some of the people in the society.
Some of the things that people have to unlearn
are traditions that are dear to them, and that may
be part of their character development.
Max Singer
77. Key to an Integral approach to urban design
is the notion that although other aspects of
urban life are important, people (sentient
beings), as individuals and communities, are
the primary ‘purpose’ for making cities
thriveable. All other aspects (technology,
transport & infra-structure, health, education,
sustain-ability, economic development, etc.)
although playing a major part, are
secondary.
Urban Hub Series
These books are a series of presentations for
the use of Integral theory or an Integral
Meta-framework in understanding cities and
urban Thriveability.
Although each can stand alone, taken
together they give a more rounded
appreciation of how this broader framework
can help in the analysis and design of
thriveable urban environments.
Guides for Integrally Informed
Practitioners
The Guides for Integrally Informed
Practitioners (adjacent) cover much of the
theory behind the Integral Meta-framework
used in these volumes. For topics covered in
others volumes in this series see the

UrbanHub work on IMP and Thriveable Cities
This work shows the graphics from a dynamic deck
that accompany a presentation on Visions &
WorldViews and Thriveable Cities. The history of the
co-evolution of cities, evolving WorldViews, Visions &
Mindsets in urban Habitats and technology is
presented in an integral framework.
