Let's start something special together

Actualization is only realized when we practice it with others; otherwise it's just fantasy.

Does your story sound like this? 

I worry that I'll bore my partner when I want to talk about what I'm learning in personal development both conceptually and about myself.

Interviewee

This is the first time someone asked me about my actualization. I thought I was alone. I didn't realize other people thought about this stuff. 

Interviewee

It's been challenging to find peers who can relate to how experiences like divorce, autism, and giftedness are affecting me and my growth.

Interviewee

Having others to talk to is essential for me to learn how others structure their experience and to get a broader range of ideas.

Interviewee

I wish I had safer environments to share my personal and professional growth experiences.

Interviewee

Having a community that supports me is important, but I can't always turn to my family or friends for the things that are weighing on me.

Interviewee

Community and connection are huge to me now. Years ago, I would have said that I didn't need it. I want to meet others who are ready to tackle the existential questions about community, connection, and collective actualization.

Interviewee

Over time, I've become more open to sharing my thoughts and feelings with my partner and a few close friends, but I'm still working on it.

Our Challenges

Feeling alone

Quite often, your actualization feels like a solitary journey. You probably learned to avoid talking about our pain and challenges and hold it all in. Why? Because you're told "everyone has something going on," and you start to think that your hurt doesn't deserve to be talked about more than anyone else's.

Seeking validation

When you experience a life challenge, it's natural to want to know that your feelings or ponderings are valid. But who can you talk to about the questions and concerns that can get really existential? Therapists are great, but you may not have financial or timely access to one when you need it.  Your friends, family, and coworkers can be tough to approach, too, because sometimes the issue involves them. And public forums like Instagram and Reddit? Forget about it; the trolls will ruin any conversation. Without an empathetic or compersive shoulder, you feel more alone and invalidated. 

Thinking you're doing it wrong

You probably didn't formally learn what actualization was outside of a brief overview of Maslow's Hierarchy. Even if you did, the model itself has its issues. Beyond that, how to do it isn't the kind of thing that's taught in school or common to most communities. The more we look, the more we realize we don't know.

Welcome to the Integrators Community

Hi!

I've been a devoted learner and practitioner of personal development since I was a child, but that experience has felt very lonely for most of my life. I've found it difficult to share my journey and find others ready to be vulnerable in their own right. I've also spent much time trying to read all the books and resources I can on how people grow that I can apply to myself, but it's been tough to find people in this space that I can trust to help me who isn't overly religious or trying to sell me something.

Along my journey, I discovered a few things that helped me start to overcome these issues. One was realizing that the more often I took brave steps to share myself authentically, the more I attracted friends, colleagues, and other relationships that really jived with me. Through my own searching and the support of my new friends, I also discovered edge-of-culture communities that showed me how to create safe and brave spaces to express ourselves and learn more. The more I witnessed and engaged, the better the community cared for me, and the better I learned to care for the community.  

I created the Integrators Community because I wanted to have a shared place where people could explore varied and dynamic facets of themselves with the support and encouragement of others. I want to ensure that everyone who wants to make a genuine investment in their actualization has the support of others to do so as bravely as they can and has access to high-quality, peer-reviewed resources that can help them along the way. 

My mission is to build a community that becomes a microcosm and catalyst of a broader actualization culture that helps people globally live authentically and to their potential. 

My own actualization and leadership journey helped me learn what it takes to be a good ally and how to support others in relationships with healthy, enthusiastic, and informed consent. And for the last two decades, I've been helping organizations, groups, and individuals through critical and existential transformations, helping many make leaps in their impact on the world, so I know a thing or two about complex change. 

But I can't do this alone. I need your support. Our small community needs your support. Come join us at this formative stage where you can make a profound difference to each other and set up the community for success.

"Is this right for me?"

Hi again...

Are you still concerned that a community focused on actualization is not right for you?

  • Not sure if it's relevant to you? If you're in my orbit, you're someone who takes their personal development seriously, values diverse perspectives, and will find something new that'll help boost your actualization.
  • Have you not participated in a community facilitated predominantly online? That's OK; we've got you covered with onboarding and wellness checks to see how our members are doing.
  • Don't have much time in your life to engage? Have Zoom fatigue? There are no minimum expectations for engagement other than honoring the Community Guidelines and the tenets of the Actualization Code. 
  • Worried about member behavior? In addition to our Community Guidelines, we take our incident reporting and accountability process seriously to help resolve issues and repair relationships whenever possible.
  • Are you worried you might not have something to offer? I'm confident that I can identify one or more gifts that you can bring to the community.   

My mission is to build a community that becomes a microcosm and catalyst of a broader actualization culture, helping people globally live authentically and to their potential. Being able to offer this FREE for the first year is my gift to you, and you will undoubtedly get support and learning in a way you haven't experienced before.   

Building this community is a key part of my actualization journey, too. Your support for the community is support for me.  

You know how important it is to me to help people learn and grow. But I still need your help to create a space for more people to find and call home throughout their journey. 

Join me in the community, and we'll continue to make ambitious, transformational things happen together.

Some Quick Answers

What's an edge-of-culture community?

An edge-of-culture community is a group of people who experience life in a way that's different from what may be considered mainstream culture. These communities have a unique culture, language, or way of life that makes them special. Despite facing challenges like limited resources and services, social stigmatization, or economic hardship, they have a strong sense of identity and connection to their spaces and history. They are friendly and welcoming, and they love to share their traditions and stories with others.

We consider the Integrators Community an edge-of-culture community, in part because of how rarely people tend to focus on their actualization and how few post-conventional leaders but also for how many other edge-of-culture communities (e.g. neurodivergent and LGBTQIA folks) have shared goals.

What happens after the first year of free access is over?

We'll take care of our Founding Members. We value your contributions and presence, especially in these early days. Assuming you'd like to keep being part of the Integrators Community, you'll receive major discounts between 50% and 75% off membership renewals to help us cover costs.

Your membership in the Meta-Integrators Community will not be affected.

What kind of spaces do we have?

We run the gamut of options! These include: 

  • Threaded posts where members engage in a more long-form style of discussion
  • Chat rooms where members can talk about topics more casually and at a faster pace
  • Event spaces where we host virtual drop-ins, meet-and-greets, webinars, and more
  • Courses where members can learn larger, more complicated topics in a more structured format
