In facing society's serious issues, many people intently work for community
empowerment, social and economic justice, and institutional change, while
others focus their attention more on personal growth, loving relationships,
and spiritual development. Some believe change happens from the inside out;
others are convinced we will be happier only when external conditions
improve and justice prevails for all. All of us, undoubtedly, aspire to a
better life and a better world.

In this 4-hour workshop, Raúl Quiñones-Rosado introduces key concepts and
principles of  "consciousness-in-action" -- an alternative approach to
personal and social change. Drawing from psychology, social theory, integral
studies, contemplative practice, and years of work in
communities-of-struggle, Dr. Quiñones-Rosado offers an overview of: an
integral developmental framework; a psychosocial analysis of the impact of
identity-based power; and liberatory-transformative practices for addressing
oppression, arguably the greatest hindrance to human well-being and
development. 

Topics introduced will include:

- An Integral Model of Well-Being and Development
- The Forces that Hinder in the Matrix of Domination
- Disrupting the Cyclone of Oppression & Reactivity
- Integral Liberation & Transformation Praxis 

Consciousness-in-Action will be found relevant and useful to community
organizers, social and spiritual activists, social justice educators,
helping professionals, organizational leaders, as well as students,
academics, and others interested in liberation from oppression and the
transformation of our society.

Raúl Quiñones-Rosado, PhD, author of Consciousness-in-Action: Toward an
Integral Psychology of Liberation & Transformation, works within various
communities-of-struggle in Puerto Rico and the United States to support
those committed to personal change and social transformation. He is
co-founder of ilé, inc. (formerly known as the Institute for Latino
Empowerment), an organization committed to anti-oppression community
organizing and Latino leadership development. Raúl currently directs
c-Integral, a core service of ilé, through which he teaches, counsels and
trains others in the principles and practices of consciousness-in-action.
