I won't say which Brian - supposedly sits next to Paul, who was (conveniently) home sick.  (Yeah, avoid talking to me Paul!)

But at any rate, Brian has been tasked with "reaching out" to the various Integral Salon, MeetUps, etc, that exist out there in the world. 

Since I organize the San Francisco Meet-Up, I got an email with an invitation to talk, and I called him back.

Brian was specifically looking to know how II could help the various Integral communities out there.

It was good to be asked, because without preparation (and I'm horrible with preparation), when you "meet up", to talk about integral stuff, or Ken Wilber, it can be WAY too disorganized.  So much ground to cover, for one - and then some people have heard from Ken Wilber for the first time, while some people have decades of familiarity.

While some of the disorganization I speak of stems FROM me, of course, some of it is the topics at hand.

So, for me, it actually was pretty clear - I - as organizer - would be helped by getting programs that are either practice/study, with feedback/discussion, for either 2-3 hours, or for work for a day/two days.

People are pretty busy, so in those timeframes - an evening, or an eight hour day, I want to be able to practice/learn something, with peers, in a way that I can validate what we've gone over.  I think this would help with the "falling away" that happens with integral.  Well, at least would give a sense of moving forward.
