The Café crew welcomes new Co-op member Mark Jabbour, who has been following our conversations and offered to  "...try and behave, - i.e. listen/hear what you all have to say w/r/t “evolving planetary consciousness,” w/o interjection/interruption"—and did so more or less successfully, contributing some perspectives from evolutionary psychology and Darwinian biology to the conversation, which sparked some fruitful debate.

Our main theme is Jennifer Gidley's paper for Integral Review (5, 2007), "The Evolution of Consciousness as a Planetary Imperative: An Integration of Integral Views," which proposes a 'tapestry' of integral narratives in aesthetic, participatory, and cognitive modes, in particular through interpreting the work of Rudolf Steiner, Jean Gebser, and Ken Wilber.

This is the first of a couple talks on Gidley's essay, which can be found here:
