Integral Embodied Self-Initiating Youth Gatherings
Austria(n Alps), Europe | Next: May 2025
The IYG is a space for co-being & co-creation.
Our orienting questions are:
What way of being do we want to embody more of? How do we want to be in relation with others?
The IYG offers a supportive field for inquiring into these questions
and for embodying our answers more fully in the world.
Connect with fellow integrally-inspired beings from Gen Z & Y :D

WHO
We are weaving a net of trust, meaning that:
All co-creators/participants have had at least one authentic conversation with one of the IYG organizers
about joining this space, to check if there is alignment for joining the gathering.
up to 50 co-creators total
Gen Z & Gen Y (Millennials) = 18 - 42 years old
[18+ because it would drastically increase the legal complexity]
Qualities of Co-Creators
integrally-open & excited about Wilber's Integral (Theory &) Practice,
which is our common reference point/shared framework to orient what is happening & what we want to happen.
.
We have put together the 10 key aspects
of Integral Theory for this Gathering ...

For those interested in our sources,
here is another widely-used introduction to the integral approach.
HOW WE RELATE & CREATE
We are relating in an intentional culture
inspired by Circling Europe & Authentic Relating.
We are cohering a safe & brave emergent space
to show up & live the human experience more fully.
Our central principles are
self-inclusion, respecting personal freedom,
self-responsibility (in the context of interconnectedness) & co-creation,
which will be shared in depth during the enrollment process.
There are no boundaries imposed on us by the location
(apart from taking care of the property and upholding the liberal Austrian law).
Our only group-enabling constraint is that
we don't need to ingest any state-altering substances
(since we will most likely experience many extraordinary states of consciousness
through connecting & being in touch with ourselves already.)
What will happen is entirely up to us.
As such, we practice self-responsibility, which to us means that
everyone self-initiates to meet their own needs and can offer to fulfil wishes of others.
This is a space for us to just happen around each other with what feels real to us.
The main desired outcome is that we more deeply realize what it's like to be human.
LOGISTICS
For
4 Nights
May 2025
at the
in the Austrian Alps, between Vienna and Graz
(Kampichl 60, 2871 Zöbern, Austria, EU)
(if you don't speak German, set the auto-generated subtitles to your language of choice)
We have the whole location to ourselves!
It's a 3-star hotel
with designer-styled & 50 freshly renovated unique rooms
with a Sauna, piano room
and much more.
Language
While German (with an endearing accent ;) ) is the main language in Austria,
English is our lingua franca & default language at this gathering.
Ecological responsibility
is a given to us, which is another feature of this location. It has
- an award-winning water treatment plant
- photovoltaic installation
- brand new wood-based heating system
Arrival & Departure
We are organizing shuttles from the closest train station (10min) "Aspang Markt",
which can be reached directly in ~1h from Vienna's primary train stations.
And there might be a possibility to stay at the location 1-2 days prior or later,
depending on if there will be other groups right before or after,
which the location will confirm up to 2 weeks before.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN
We practice a co-creator mindset that lets us grow up from a consumer role,
meaning that you are very much encouraged to share your own gift with us,
e.g. in the form of a workshop.
Gifts that were shared in previous years included:
-.Opening & closing the gathering with Developmental Ecstatic Dance
- An Open Space day - emerging our wishes for a full-day in real-time
- We-Spaces inspired by Authentic Relating™ and Circling®
- Emergent Music Sessions towards the end of the gathering
- Parallel Women's - and Men's Circles
- Swedish hosted Sauna Sessions
- embodied movement practices

The beauty is that we can always come back to our inner center &
choose to meditate or rest.
Food is already organized :)
WHAT ARE physical REQUIREMENTS
The principle for meeting our physical needs is that of a potluck,
but instead of everyone bringing their own food & tents,
we got ourselves a fancy hotel at a dream destination &
organized a vegan & Aryuveda-informed chef,
who has known the location for years, and will support us,
turning fresh ingredients into delicious meals.
(everyone will have the opportunity to cook and
serve the larger holon/whole by supporting to keep hygiene-standards high twice)
We aim to keep everyone's financial contribution at 350€ (!)
& keep the financials transparent & simple for all co-creators.
With this, we are creating an all-inclusive experience for ourselves,
incl. hotel room, 2 cooked meals plus breakfast and awesome amenities.
