Vision
Life is fundamentally integral. Our inner nature and the nature around us mutually reflect and support each other. Human beings are composed of inter-related energies of body, mind and spirit and all phenomena work in conjunction to affect the physical, financial, mental, ethical and spiritual dimensions of life (see The Five Healths). From the perspective of integral health, disease is a symptom of a life out of balance with its own inherent nature as well as the external natural or social environment. The most valuable healing weapon is to maintain balance and thus to prevent the very occurrence of disease. To learn an integral way of life is to follow basic principles of harmony with Nature to reestablish or maintain balance and well being (see Principles). For more about this holistic perspective, see the Integral Way

Social & Environmental Impact
We and our children need to discover the way of sustainable harmony with Nature. Our climate problems can only be resolved in a global effort with the leadership and cooperation of each one of us. At times of change, the natural world teaches us to cultivate inner calm and become deeply attuned with the nature of life. Through expanded awareness, we discover mutual responsiveness within the energy web of all phenomena. This new perspective shows us the true value of acting in community and results in more balanced, creative, and intelligent strategies to fulfill the integral needs of life. With the wisdom of personal harmonization and the spirit of social cooperation, we can succeed in evolving a healthy, sustainable and constructive society and long lasting peace.
