How Do We Locate the Integral City?

The third Locator nests inside the Smart City and Resilient City Locators – it is the core intelligence chip that reflects the deepest intelligence of the Human Hive – the Integral City Locator. Essentially it offers “Integral Intel Inside”. This chip embeds the core intelligences that enable human systems to be the most advanced life […]

How Do We Locate the Resilient City?

The second locator we look at we name the Resilient City Locator. It is like the Motherboard of our intelligence system – it is based on the natural systems we have inherited from Mother Earth. The Resilient City Locator is all about locating our Human Hives in terms of their Ecologies and ecoregions; their Emergent […]

Human Hive: Roles & Types

The biomimicry pattern of the Human Hive (aka city) draws on fractal patterns and systems in play in our global ecology and human species. Homo sapiens sapiens is supposedly the most advanced species of the vertebrates. We have developed four types of cities in our Human Hive line. Moreover we have also developed four roles […]

Beehive: Biomimicry Patterns for Smart, Resilient, Integral Cities

The Human Hive has many lessons to learn from the honey beehive. Some years ago I was introduced to the biomimicry magic of the beehive and was fascinated to learn that apis mellifera –  the honey bee – has figured out a system that enables Smart behavior that not only produces energy for the functioning […]

Bee Hive Metaphor Offers Human Hive Disturbing Pattern of Survival?

For instance (almost a decade ago) when I coined the term “Human Hive” as a metaphor for the living, evolutionary human system of the city, it predated many life events that have since occurred. Perhaps the appropriateness for using this […]

The Human Hive Reveals Patterns that Determine City Types

I am curious how many readers think of themselves as belonging to a Human Hive? I wonder how many people reading this blog keep or have kept bees (or have seen beekeepers at work)?  Or have a role that contributes to the wellbeing and functioning of the Human Hive? If you look at the beehive […]

Householder Dharma: The Best Exotic Qualities of Home

Travel broadens the mind. And when we can’t do it in reality, a good movie or documentary can open perspectives and even create a longing to visit more exotic places in far reaches of the world. But with a little imagination we can bring a new appreciation for the beauty goodness and truth that surround […]

Celebrating Canada’s 4 Quadrant Leaders on Canada Day

A whole Quadrivium of Integral Leaders were featured in the Integral Leadership Review – Canada Issue at the beginning of 2015. But the plenitude of contributors and the depth of their insights […]
