Next Step Integral

Winlaw, British Columbia,

Canada

Next Step Integral, formerly Morning Star Community, is an integral* community founded in 1992.

We are an international body of individuals touched at a core level by a call to come together in service to the work of consciousness evolution. As we deepen our understanding of the next step in consciousness evolution, we place a primary focus on actually applying our discoveries to our lives. We are awed, fascinated, and humbled by the potential breadth and depth of human life. We are aware of a real need for integral examples of life to find expression here and now on earth. Our main emphases are personal and global transformation, research, education, collective intelligence, and networking.

Our vision is that we become a living body that will continue to grow and evolve. We seek to respond wholeheartedly, seriously, and joyously to the predicament of our times—to listen to the whisperings of Spirit that invite us to full Union, to communion, where the One and the Many are present and alive.

The vision of Next Step Integral arises from the knowledge that a quantum leap in consciousness is possible and necessary—one that will balance our awakened authentic individual self with the communion that is inherently possible between humans.

* integral: derived from “integrate,” to bring together, to join, to link, to embrace—not in the sense of uniformity, but in the sense of unity-in-diversity.
