Overview

This library section presents your WisdomSpace Library editors David & Leslie's evolving professional theory of the nature and evolution of wisdom communities.  In the language of professional theorists, we doctoral students call this theory "an integral approach to community healing and development."  The word "integral" (in this context) simply means comprehensive, holistic, or all-inclusive. 

After two years of actively searching for what's working in the world of people learning to get along with each other, we're still learning something new and amazing every day. We like to say that we are groping toward wisdom about wisdom communities! We are excited to share our current understanding, and we look forward to reflections from other theorists to deepen our collective wisdom. We welcome your feedback either by adding your comments at the bottom of each library page or in adding your thoughts to topic discussions in the community forums.
