ABSTRACT

We now come to the transformative culmination of the path of renewal, now in action research guise, which constitutes our ultimate contribution, first in integral educational and research terms and subsequently as per integral enterprise (Sekem) and economy (Slovenia). What is particular, and indeed special, about Cooperative Inquiry (CI), as our ‘eastern’ version of action research as such, is that it is fully congruent with our own Trans4m integral approach. It also serves, as we shall see, to develop the totality of the self. So it is not only the case that such cooperative inquiry follows, practically transformatively, from narrative origination (experiential), interpretive foundation (imaginative), and critical emancipation (conceptual), along the path of renewal. It is also true that CI is thereby fully integral.
