I'm late to comment on this, but the Integral Institute is offering more I-Wet weekends.

The new ones are in Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco.

The cost went up $50 as well, I see. 

I've offered a review on the SF event previously - and for me it was definitely worth it.

However, one other comment.

I would say that the percentage of guys to women at the I-Wet seminar, was about 60% men, 40% women - actually maybe a little more highly skewed to guys, although I wasn't counting.

This is uncommon for spiritual events for me, as most holistic-spiritual type "events" in the Bay Area, tend to be more evenly weighted, or even lean towards more female representation.

What does that mean?  Well, I clearly think it means there is a strong masculine-intellectual vibe operating in Ken Wilber's head, that then resonates in other masculine-intellectual heads. 

This vibe doesn't have much to do with any CAPACITY.  A couple of fremale friends of mine - super-bright - picked up Ken's books, and just did not get moved by them.  (Small sample size, I know)

Of course, this type of population skewing isn't anything like what I have found in tech companies, where the ratio of men to women is even higher.

So there is SOME "Heart" represented in the work, but probably more heart would be useful.

Back when I was only a comics and fantasy geek, I never imagined that comics and fantasy would go so mainstream as to be so favorably highlighted in Time magazine.  But of course, this is taken for granted now.

This article is good, because it takes both the best (Neil Gaiman and Sandman - need I say more?) and the decent-but-popular (Joss Whedon of Buffy fame) and talks about the current state of popularity of comics, fantasy, horror, etc. 

Also, didn't know that Neil Gaiman had his own blog.

Warren Ellis has been amusing me with his demented writings for years now.

Now all I need are where:

Grant Morrison
Brian Michael Bendis
Alan Moore

leave their online musings, and I will be all set...
