Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory: A Map for Psychedelic Integration with Author Brad Reynolds

October 1 @ 6:00 pm 7:30 pm Pacific Time

At the Psychedelic Advocacy Network, we’re always looking for thoughtful frameworks that help us better understand and integrate profound psychedelic experiences. We’re delighted to welcome Brad Reynolds, one of the leading interpreters of Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory, for an engaging evening of learning and conversation.

Brad is the author of Embracing Reality: The Integral Vision of Ken Wilber and Where’s Wilber At? Ken Wilber’s Integral Vision in the New Millennium. Through years of study and his close working relationship with Ken Wilber, Brad has developed a remarkable ability to make Integral Theory clear, practical, and deeply relevant to everyday life.

During this presentation, Brad will introduce the essential ideas behind Integral Theory and explore how its multidimensional view of human development can offer a powerful framework for psychedelic integration.

We’ll look at topics such as the spectrum of consciousness, psychological and spiritual growth, the transpersonal dimension, and how Integral Theory helps us “transcend and include” the many aspects of our lives and experiences.

Whether you’re new to Ken Wilber’s work or have studied Integral Theory for years, this conversation will offer fresh insights into one of the most comprehensive maps of human development available today.

Following Brad’s presentation, we’ll open the evening for questions and discussion with our community.

Bio:

Brad Reynolds did graduate work at the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) before leaving to work closely with Ken Wilber and the Integral Institute for nearly a decade (1995–2004). He is the author of two books on Integral metatheory (AQAL): Embracing Reality: The Integral Vision of Ken Wilber (Tarcher, 2004) and Where’s Wilber At? Ken Wilber’s Integral Vision in the New Millennium (Paragon House, 2006).

A longtime devotee of Adi Da Samraj for more than 45 years, Brad has also written extensively on the world’s wisdom traditions, including two books on Adi Da and the Perennial Philosophy. His newest book, Meta-Perennial Philosophia: Integrating Evolution and Enlightenment (Bright Alliance, 2026), offers a synthesis of Integral Theory, the Perennial Philosophy, developmental spirituality, and the distinction between Becoming (evolution) and Being (Enlightenment). Brad is also a professional graphic designer and the founder of Integral Art & Studies in Marin County, California.
