Group Epignosis Launches New Blog!

Group Epignosis Launches New Blog!
Group Epignosis of Roanoke, Virginia announced its launch earlier today of a new blog it's calling, Integral City 2.0 - Roanoke.  "To say we're excited in taking this 'next step' of exploring the creative potentials inspired by Marilyn Hamilton at Integral City this Fall through, "The City 2.0 Online Conference" is something of an understatement" said group director, Brian McConnell.

"The Integral City 2.0 Online Conference gathered 60 visionary thought leaders, designers and practitioners, with 600 participants from 6 continents, to inquire into how to design a new operating system for the city. The 12-day Conference allowed exploration of each of the 12 intelligences from the book, Integral City: Evolutionary Intelligences for the Human Hive, and their contributions to city vitality." from "Radically Optimistic Solstice Exec Summary from Integral City 2.0 Online Conference"

By integrating social media platforms like YouTube, Wikipedia, Vimeo and Slideshare together on Blogger, the Integral City framework readily translates as a multimedia context through which emergent (integral) thought and theory can be shared with a global audience across multiple disciplines including leadership, education, governance, and economics.  This in turn, initiates a laboratory setting for collaborative, transdisciplinary practice and methodologies in which city practitioners can communicate with each other through, or across, an integral 'meshwork' to further discuss, test, and harvest their respective visions.
