About this Course
Meta-Movieology II is the second course in the
Meta-Movieology series exploring a groundbreaking meta-approach to learning
Integral Theory through a transformative moving image viewing practice. In this
course you will develop a deeper and more visceral understanding of the advanced
elements of the Integral approach by using the aesthetic and multisensory power
of the moving image for embodied learning and evolutionary growth.

This event takes place online.
Who is this Course
For?
This course is for
anyone who has taken the Meta-Movieology I introductory course. If you have
already taken the first Meta-Movieology course, this course will deepen and
expand the embodied learning and evolutionary growth from the previous course.
DETAILS
Join Mark for this advanced
level course, which explores how the six advanced Integrally-informed lenses of
zones, altitudes, energies, methods, complexity, and archetypes can be utilized
as powerful transformational practices for using any moving image work, from
movies to video games, for your own evolutionary growth and development. This
course will be taught through 12 weekly 90 minute conference calls (recordings
for the calls will be posted for participants who are not able to join a call).
We will be deeply exploring each of these six advanced integrally-informed lens,
spending two weeks on each lens with assigned practices, readings and movie
viewing assignments, along with online threaded discussions to connect with
fellow participants and deepen your understanding of this work. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity – Integral
Theory and the movies will never look or feel the same.

TESTIMONIALS
I was surprised at how
deep the Meta-Movieology practice goes. After completing the course, I have a
richer experience with films, which has cascaded into other areas of my life.
– Heather, San Carlos, CA
I can't say enough
good things about the Meta-Movieology course. It was delightful and profound.
This course enabled me to see integral concepts in movies that I had not
recognized before and that's saying a lot because I have followed Ken Wilber
since his first publications.
– Dennis, Silver Springs, MD
Mark is a great
teacher! I am out of my league as far as my experience with integral is
concerned, yet the materials, movies and weekly discussions in this course met
me right where I was at. I found the meditations mind blowing and key to the
shifts I am experiencing in my expanding awareness. I feel so fortunate to have
stumbled on this opportunity.
– Anne, Charlotte, NC
The Meta-Movieology
course is at the theoretical, practical, and pedagogical cutting-edge of
integral and evolutionary film theory and practice – it is a sophisticated
training in how to experience film, and therein how to deepen one’s experience
of the world within and around us. While being theoretically advanced, this
course is taught in a manner that anyone, beginner or advanced practitioner,
can readily get and do so with transformative results. I very highly recommend
this course of study.
