Brian McConnell

I've worked in varying capacities with the underpinnings of Integral thought and theory, primarily in the fields of Education and Psychology since first introduced to Ken Wilber's, "Eye to Eye" in 1997. Consequently, much of this background in reflective practice stems from personal study in Theravada Buddhism with Thanissaro Bhikkhu at Metta Forest Monastery.

Having worked with a diverse set of popular subcultures over this same period, consciousness, learning, leadership, governance, and economics comprise the central focus of my present efforts. As the Founding Director of a 501(c)(6) structured-organization in southwest Virginia, I currently enjoy lending my experience and background in "learning systems" to an assortment of educational institutions and community-based organizations.

Specialties: academic analysis, writing and documentation, interpersonal communications, systems design and development, integral theory and application.
