Abstract

The cultural synergy model is process-oriented in order to expand consciousness and capacities for problem-solving at various human system levels. This paper briefly (1) addresses how the model is developed from “patterns that connect” in major living systems, (2) describes the model, and (3) discusses two large international experiments with the model at the developing Center for Cultural Synergy at the California Institute of Integral Studies
