Don't let that stop you from joini …
What is “Integral”? It simply means whole, complete, full, all inclusive. It is both a theory and the basis of a life practice. It demonstrates how to integrate and include body, mind, and spirit in self, culture, and nature. This means acting so as to find your entire life to be full and complete, a life that “makes room for everything,” from wild rock star to devoted family man, from bodily pursuits to spiritual practice, from nature worship to meditation, from business practices to play and …

In the summer, with ample daylight, this will likely result in 15, 20 and even 25 mile days. In the winter, this might be limited to 10 …
