ITPI Board member Christina Grote leads an adaptation of an LET exercise created by George Leonard. It offers you the opportunity to develop your subtle sensing of the outer world. You can become more aware of and connected with your natural surroundings, and you may come to experience a feeling of reciprocity, and even love, as you feel this deep connection. You may find that touching doesn't have to be limited to physical contact. Through the practice you may experience yourself as being connected with everything in the world and even the universe.

As an invisible substance, ki, defined as life force or energy of life, can be somewhat mysterious and difficult to grasp. Because of this, it may lead one to wonder, “Is it even real?” Let’s explore this question and the reality of ki.

Cooperation takes energy. But not all energy behaves the same way. When seeking cooperation, it helps to understand the values behind the energy.

The body gives signals before consciously processing a situation. These include tension, lightness, fatigue, and expansion, among others. In the ITP practice of Staying Current, we can use our bodies as learning tools.

We are often tempted to meet opposition with more opposition. But there’s another way! Eric Benson uses concepts from the Ki of Cooperation and square dancing to guide us toward “redirecting” instead of “resisting.”

Have you ever observed a group trying to stay productive and successful as it grows in membership? Cooperation often gets harder, not easier, as more people join. Does the group require extraordinary management, or something else? Research in the way thousands of starlings fly together offers some insight.

Group practice can be beneficial to all ITP practitioners. But Kevin and Michelle Skillen get to enjoy the benefits of sharing their meaningful practice under the same roof. Learn more about what motivates and inspires them.

In turbulent times, many of us instinctively look for certainty. We search for answers, frameworks, strategies, and reassuring narratives that will help us regain a sense of control. Yet Integral Transformative Practice invites us into a different relationship with uncertainty — not as an enemy to defeat, but as a doorway into deeper awareness, resilience, and transformation. One of the most honest guides we have in that process is the body. ITP Mastery teacher Ann Horn shares some wisdom.

Undoubtedly each of us has experienced the upending of plans. ITP practitioner Autumn Wagner shares some of the times in her life when unexpected events swept away certainty and cast a shadow of uncertainty. Her ITP practice with affirmations helps keep her on steady ground and appreciating the gifts of the unexpected.

Especially in times of uncertainty, our practice offers grounding, consistency, and much more. Robert Stewart, ITPI operations and program director, reflects on the subtle but vital aspects of practice that we may not even notice until we realize we have a steadier relationship with ourselves and with what matters.
