How to Scale Integral Consciousness?

Join me at ICON in Denver at the end of May

Integral thinking has a marketing problem. (Which may be why you’ve never heard of it 😉.) Integral offers an extraordinary map for navigating reality, but has struggled to reach the mainstream.

So: how might we translate integral thinking for a broader audience — so that it can fulfill its tremendous potential?

That’s the question I’ll be exploring this year at ICON — a premiere conference on integral theory. The conference is from May 28th-31st in Denver, and its theme — echoing the venerable Marc Gafni — is “Integral’s Role in Building a Post-Tragic Future.”

For my talk, I’ll first explore pieces of pop culture that have transmitted integral themes — from The Matrix, to Everything Everywhere All At Once, to Pluribus. Then I’ll draw from my own projects that have successfully translated integral ideas into public culture — including Faces of X, The Anti-Debate, and my 2025 TED talk. I’ll share concrete lessons for making integral legible, compelling, and relevant. Finally, I’ll close with what I consider to be the “killer app” for scaling integral consciousness: integral news. Because, in my humble opinion, the news is where the rubber meets the road for how people understand reality.

Attendees will leave my ICON talk inspired and ready to translate their integral work for a wider audience.

This is the North American bi-annual event for Spiralists, Meta-Theorists and Integralists. Join us? Get your tickets here.
