It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the pace and complexity of change and breakdown happening in the world.
Crisis and disorder are converging across political, ecological, social, economic, and personal scales. Some call it a metacrisis. Others call it a time between worlds—a liminal space between dissolution and becoming.
In the face of this, many of us feel called to enact our care and contribution in the world, however grand or small—in our work, in our communities, in our parenting, in our art. Motivated by a vision for a more beautiful, just, and flourishing way of existence that deep down in our hearts we know is possible.
But how can we follow this impulse in a time that seems complex and overwhelming? How can we cultivate the capacities to meet this moment together?
Maybe you feel this in your own life–the gap between what you sense is needed and what you feel able to offer. You have developed more skills and capacities. Maybe a part of you just turns away from what is happening. You sense a longing for a deeper way to be with this time of dissolution and transformation.
If you've reached this threshold, you're probably not just looking for more tools and practices. You're asking a different question entirely:
How can we be with what's happening? How do we participate in what wants to emerge?
Leading Through Emergence is an experiential, transformative container designed to support three essential shifts in being: learning to see the world through a wider lens that can hold complexity and paradox; remembering the wholeness that exists beneath our fragmentation; and cultivating the trust to move with life's unfolding rather than against it.
You'll develop these capacities through direct practice—something you feel in your body, apply in your relationships, and enact in the contexts that matter most to you.
The program includes weekly practice sessions where we work directly with what arises in the moment, small group containers for deeper inquiry and mutual reflection, and guided practices you can return to throughout the week.
Everything is designed to support you in developing your own creative engagement with the emerging future—not to give you answers, but to help you access the wisdom that's already present when you know how to listen.
When you engage and lead from this deeper ground:
You remain present and responsive amid intensity and uncertainty
You intuitively sense what's trying to emerge in complex situations
You bridge divides and navigate differences with genuine curiosity
You naturally foster collective intelligence in groups and teams
Your authentic gifts express more fully with less efforting
You navigate conflict and difference with more spaciousness
The program is 8 weeks with weekly live sessions on Thursdays from 4:00–6:00pm PDT
The ground of awareness where emergence happens, and how this presence itself becomes our foundation.
Maturing our capacity to deepen intimacy in the midst of the intensity of our times.
Developing capacity for the complexity this moment asks of us.
Learning to meet what matters while honoring our limits.
Reflect on insights, deepen your practice, and connect with your small group.
Including what we've pushed away or disowned.
Collective intelligence as lived practice.
Moving with the unfolding as joy and play.
This isn't a passive learning experience—it's a lived inquiry that invites your full participation. The program includes:

Live Practice Sessions: Weekly 2-hour calls on Thursdays from 4-6pm PDT where we engage in experiential practices, reflection, and coaching under the guidance of our core faculty.
Learning Content: Weekly videos introducing key concepts and perspectives that inform each week's practice, allowing you to absorb ideas at your own pace before our live sessions.
Practice Guides: Recorded practices and written guides supporting your ongoing application between sessions, helping you integrate insights into daily life.
Practice Groups: A consistent small group throughout the program, creating a container of trust where you can practice with greater vulnerability and receive personalized feedback.
Real-world Application: Throughout the program, you'll apply what you're learning to 1-2 areas of your life or work that matters most to you, ensuring the learning translates to tangible impact.
Online Community: An online space where faculty and participants can continue discussions, share reflections, and support each other between sessions.

A gorgeous blend of wise and digestible content, and collective practice...it holds and invites us as individuals and a collective to embody wholeness in all the ways we meet ourselves, each other, and the world. The aliveness of possibility is palpable.
For the past five years we offered this work in a program called Emergent Leadership. However, leading, as we understand it, isn't about a position, a role, or an identity. It's about our capacity to generate new ways of being, relating, and functioning. We have renamed and reframed the offering to emphasize the process of engaging with emergence.
This work is for anyone who feels the call to participate in this moment differently. You sense the potential for a greater freedom, creativity, belonging, and joyful engagement with a time of great disorder and potential.
We're looking for people who:
Maybe you guide teams or support clients. Maybe you're raising children or tending land. Maybe you're creating art or building community or simply showing up where life has placed you. Whatever your context, if you sense there's a different quality of engagement available — a way of being that might allow something new to move through you — this practice is for you.
We're accepting a dedicated cohort of participants ready to commit fully to the practice. Sessions are held live on Thursdays, 4:00–6:00pm PDT, May 7 – June 25. If you sense this is the right moment and this is the right container, we invite you to apply. The application takes 5–7 minutes.

This program is for anyone who is interested in the leading edge of transformative change. It is also for those who have engaged in their own personal growth and are interested in how deeper, transpersonal perspectives can be more fully embodied in self, community and work in the world. We also suggest this program as an excellent introduction to the work of the Generating Transformative Change program. If you are considering GTC, Leading Through Emergence is an excellent place to start.
If you shy from the word, ‘leadership’, don’t let that stop you from attending. While we often use the word, 'leadership' to describe our programs, doing so is not without its limitations. Leadership is a word that means different things to different people and can touch on personal experiences that are not always positive. We invite you to consider your own desire to make a difference and to express yourself as an impulse towards a greater world manifest through actions great or small. If you shy from the word, ‘leadership’, don’t let that stop you from attending.
This program is an intimate, experiential journey that requires your presence. We ask that you commit to attending most sessions. While our live sessions will be recorded and missing one or two sessions is workable, the power of this work emerges through direct participation in our field of inquiry together.
This is designed to support both people who are new to working with awareness practices and also to support a greater depth, embodiment, and presence for those already familiar with what awakened wholeness points to. If you have questions about whether this program is a fit for you, don’t hesitate to be in touch by email us at hello@pacificintegral.com.
Emergent Leadership is an excellent introduction to GTC. The GTC program goes into much more depth in a more intimate, longer term setting and expands on the material introduced in Leading Through Emergence.
Leading Through Emergence is a great opportunity to revisit and deepen what you learned in GTC and reconnect with the field of presence, practice, and community. GTC grads who participated spoke of deepening and integrating their learning, and delighting sharing the practices with a global community.
