The Kosmic Creativity Media Collection

It's with great excitement that we offer you this extraordinary collection of teachings and performances from the Integral Spiritual Experience: Kosmic Creativity event, held this past New Years in beautiful Pacific Grove, CA. This year's conference was an exciting journey for all of us. Guided by Ken Wilber's teachings on Kosmic Creativity, we plunged deeply into the meaning of creativity in our everyday experience, becoming ever more aware of the innate creativity that exists at the very core of our nature.

About fourteen billion years ago, the Big Bang set off a cascade of evolutionary emergence that has never ceased, and which continues to surge through each of us. We can feel this evolutionary creativity right now, moment by moment, as it arises in our own hearts and minds. The teachings featured in this extraordinary collection of videos encourage you to skillfully enact this essential creativity by learning how to fully give your gifts to this rapidly-evolving world.

Featuring over 15 hours of beautifully produced video and audio, this collection is designed for ultimate ease of use: watch it on your computer, listen to it in your car, even stream it on your iPad or iPhone. Or you can download any of the video or audio files to manage how you like on your computer. This year's Integral Spiritual Experience collection features:

  • Exclusive teachings by Ken Wilber on Creativity and Spirituality, the Architecture of Creativity, and the Practice of Creativity—including a 2-hour audio Q&A session with Ken.
  • Keynote presentations by Barbara Marx Hubbard, Andrew Cohen and Michael Dowd
  • Integral Creativity Sessions led by Diane Musho Hamilton, Terry Patten, Jeff Salzman, and Sofia Diaz.
  • Integral Art presentations by Alex and Alyson Grey and Michael Schwartz
  • Extraordinary Performances by Stuart Davis, Arni Karlsson, and Jeff Salzman
  • Integral Church and much more…

We're offering this collection of teachings that you can access instantly for only $249. Keep reading to learn more....

What You’ll Discover:

  • Spirit-in-action is the continuing Kosmic creative impulse expressed in each of our individual lives, in our relationships with each other, in all the cultures of the world, and in the expanding fabric of the universe....

  • This creative advance into novelty is emerging in each of us in every moment we are alive. We are, in a very real sense, co-creators of the world....

  • This fundamental creativity is often mediated through various states of consciousness—a "sacred architecture" of consciousness that includes altered states, meditative states, flow states, etc. All of these states can be experienced by anyone, most notably through contemplative practice.

  • Your creativity shows up in all dimensions of your experience, interior and exterior, individual and collective—rippling through art, morals, science, and spirituality, and spilling out into the world as ever-increasing Beauty, Goodness, and Truth.

  • Learn to draw inspiration from your "infinite", or "ultimate" Self, and better manifest your creativity through your finite, separate, everyday self.
