Integral Embodied Self-Initiating Youth Gatherings
Poland, Europe | Next: May 14th - May 18th 2025
Welcome to the IYG25 where you will discover and co-create your way of being yourself and in connection with others over this year, and the following.
The IYG is a space for co-being & co-creation.
Our orienting questions are:
What way of being do we want to embody more of? How do we want to be in relation with others?
The IYG offers a supportive field for inquiring into these questions
and for embodying our answers more fully in the world.
Connect with fellow integrally-inspired beings from Gen Z & Y :D

WHO
We are weaving a net of trust, meaning that:
All co-creators/participants have had at least one authentic conversation with one of the IYG organizers
about joining this space, to check if there is alignment for joining the gathering.
up to 40 co-creators total
Gen Z & Gen Y (Millennials) = 18 - 42 years old
[18+ because it would drastically increase the legal complexity]
Qualities of Co-Creators
integrally-open & excited about Wilber's Integral (Theory &) Practice,
which is our common reference point/shared framework to orient what is happening & what we want to happen.
.
We have put together the 10 key aspects
of Integral Theory for this Gathering ...

For those interested in our sources,
here is another widely-used introduction to the integral approach.
HOW WE RELATE & CREATE
We are relating in our own intentional culture
inspired by Circling Europe & Authentic Relating.
We are cohering a safe & brave emergent space
to show up & live the human experience more fully.
Our 5 agreements are:
1. Self-inclusion
2. Personal freedom
3. Co-Creation
4. Self-responsibility
5. Support
Here is a link to what we mean by that :D
If you want to join, you will be asked to agree to these during your Onboarding Resonance Call.
There are no boundaries imposed on us by the location
(apart from taking care of the property and upholding the Polish law).
Our only group-enabling constraint is that
we don't need to ingest any state-altering substances
(since we will most likely experience many extraordinary states of consciousness
through connecting & being in touch with ourselves already.)
What will happen is entirely up to us.
As such, we practice self-responsibility, which to us means that
everyone self-initiates to meet their own needs and can offer to fulfil wishes of others.
This is a space for us to just happen around each other with what feels real to us.
The main desired outcome is that we more deeply realize what it's like to be human.
