Integral Medicine offers a leading edge approach to medicine that supports individuals, communities and the greater environment. Using the Integral Theory of Ken Wilber, The Teleosis Institute is educating health professionals in applying Integral Theory to Medicine and Healthcare.

Integral Medicine uses the AQAL model: All quadrants, all lines, all levels, all states and all types, to encompass a complete view of medicine and healthcare that includes traditional, conventional and alternative forms of medical practice as well as public health and environmental perspectives. Offering a balance between subjective and objective perspectives, individual and collective, Integral Medicine offers a comprehensive framework that allows multiple perspectives to be united.

Publications

Call for Papers!
The Journal for Integral Theory and Practice is requesting papers to be published in a special issue on Integral Medicine, Healthcare, and Nutrition.

This issue will celebrate the many contributions of traditional medicine while exploring what an Integral approach to medicine looks like. Authors may use the Integral approach to explore any aspect of healthcare (e.g., how disease is understood, how treatments relate to one another, how wellness factors into daily life). The goal of the special issue is to illuminate how the AQAL model helps both patients and healthcare practitioners more quickly navigate through illness.
