    Episode 7: Moving Toward Integral Panarchy, with Michael Porcelli

    In this episode of the Integrate This! Podcast I am joined by Michael Porcelli. Michael is a consultant, coach, educator, writer, speaker, group facilitator and founding member with Bedock Culture and Leadership. His main areas of professional interest are centered on the dynamics between human beings, technology, and the social world. He’s a leading expert in the practices of Authentic Relating and the Circling Method. He was formerly the Director of Training and Faculty Development with The Integral Center in Boulder, Colorado. He’s a practitioner and coach of Holacracy, an integrally informed approach to organizational self-governance. He’s also interested in conversations about humanity’s long-term future. In this episode Michael and I discuss the road to Integral Panarchy. How do we get from where we are now, to a society running on a Panarchic Operating system. We try to tackle the HOW of Panarchy. How it might function and what systems would have to develop in order to transition into this new Integral Paradigm. Topics we touch along the way include: The Two Foundational Moral Premises that people and whole societies operate under.  The Three Methodologies for Social Change Counter Economics and the Four types of Markets, and what roles they play  Dispute Resolution Organizations and their function Law and Order in a Panarchy, and how it can be achieved And a lot more. I really enjoyed this conversation with Michal Porcelli and I hope you will too.  Useful Links: More on Michael: https://www.themichaelporcelli.com/ My 2013 Essay, "The Peaceful Path to an Integral Society"  http://www.integralworld.net/odoherty7.html Intro and Extro Music thanks to -  https://josephmcdade.com/music
