Integral Evolution: The Next Frontier

Moving forward with our beloved teacher Qapel’s exhortation to embrace Integral as part of our spiritual practice. Awakening, he said, is like everything else: evolutionary. The Buddha said that his teachings would last 2,500 years—which brings us to now. It’s time for a new turning of the wheel. Integral Evolution is the next stage of humanity’s awakening and development. It’s thrilling we’re alive at the new frontier of consciousness. Drawing on more of the last teaching notes our guru Qapel made, come and explore with Catherine Sensei how we can marry authentic Dharma and the Integral paradigm. How do we evolve and awaken in alignment with the fullness of our current time and lay the groundwork for a revolutionary and generative future?

When?

Classes for this course will take place on Sunday mornings (January 18th, 25th, February 1st, 2026) and will be video streamed live at 9:30am Mountain Time. The recording will be available for one week after each class.

The course ends with a Flash Retreat on February 7th-8th, 2026, which is an opportunity to go deeper with the material in a contemplative structure. Everyone who enrols in the online course is invited - though if you wish to attend the Flash Retreat, we do ask that you set aside the whole weekend and attend the classes live. There will be morning and afternoon classes on both the Saturday and Sunday. Registration for the Flash Retreat will close at the end of the day on January 25th.

Tickets: Dana and admin fee combo for these sessions:

We offer this course on the basis of dāna, and there is also an admin fee to help us cover the cost of running these online courses. The super early bird admin fee is $80 USD for those who book more than four weeks before the deadline, $100 USD two to four weeks before, and $120 USD for those registering less than two weeks before the deadline. When you make your payment below, you might need to scroll so that both the admin and dana sections of the ticket appear.

For the teachings themselves, we offer Dāna , which is a Sanskrit term meaning “generosity”. With dāna, we give as a mutual exchange of generosity. You may have come across this in the form of “pay from the heart”. It’s our joy to offer this course, and we trust you’ll match our time, energy, and passion by giving an amount of money that feels good and healthy to both you and us. We suggest a range between $120 and $500 for this course. Please note that everyone attending the flash retreat will be invited to offer dana when they sign up for that weekend.
