Support Pods

Connect. Collaborate. Amplify.

Support Pods are small, focused groups offered by Integral Leadership in Action (ILiA) to turn shared values into shared action.

Across the world, alumni circles, professional guilds, and faith-based communities thrive because they don’t just share ideas—they share resources. They act as force multipliers, helping each other grow through mentorship, collaboration, and trusted referrals.

The Integral community is rich in wisdom, but often lacks the infrastructure for real-world support. That’s what Support Pods aim to change.

Each Pod is a space to:

  • Exchange practical advice

  • Share projects and requests

  • Collaborate across fields

  • Build trusted relationships

Support Pods are how we move from isolation to collective momentum. They’re not just about connection—they’re about doing the work together.

In June 2025 we got a new Zoom account.
If you registered before June 2025, please re-register below.

We have three ongoing monthly Integral Support Pods!

Integral Life Practices Support Pod

NEW Day and TIME! We meet 2nd Tuesday at 10:30 AM PST/1:30 PM EST on Zoom

The Body Module (pp. 127–195)

Get a jump on your New Year’s resolution by learning the Integral way to take care of your body in 2026!

As we move into the heart of winter and start thinking about our intentions for the new year, we’ll be diving into one of the most tangible and transformative parts of Integral Life Practice — the Body Module.

This section of the book explores how your physical body isn’t just a vehicle you drag through life — it’s an intelligent, evolutionary instrument that can support greater clarity, compassion, and awakening when we tend to it consciously.

We’ll look at:

  • Why “body first” often makes spiritual practice easier

  • The difference between working out and embodied practice

  • How strength, flexibility, diet, sleep, and even sexuality fit into Integral Life Practice

  • Practical ways to build a Body Module that you actually enjoy and will stick with into 2026 and beyond

Whether you’re already lifting kettlebells at sunrise or still negotiating with your foam roller, this chapter will give you a fresh, integrative frame to work with — and the group discussion will help you design (or refine!) your own ILP body practice for the year ahead.

💡 Bring your questions, your experiments, and your favorite recovery hacks.

Let’s start 2026 not with guilt-based goals…
…but with an embodied, evolutionary YES to being alive.

“What a blessing it has been to discover such a brilliant group of like-minded, passionate integral leaders, who wish to support one another in our common desire to spread the integral work through the written word. Every single session without fail, I walk away on fire with inspiration and motivation, always receiving a treasured gift of learning - whether it be a new writing practice, valuable feedback on a writing project, a deeper understanding of an integral principle or a new perspective that widens the focus of my own personal vision. I highly recommend attending the Integral Writers’ Pod - it truly is a group of Integral Leaders in Action!”

“I’ve been attending ILiA’s Support Pod meetings twice a month now for over a year. They have consistently been one of the high points of my week. I love how we learn from each other and support each other's work and play. May there be many more ILiA Support Pods!”
