Philosophy (formerly Spiral Wizards)

Spiral Wizards roam over vast mindscapes seeing patterns and connections others typically filter out.

Theories and frameworks (lenses) we include are not limited to:

The Emergent Cyclical Levels of Existence Theory (aka Spiral Dynamics)
Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development
Jungian analysis (archetypes, dreams, personality psychology…)
The Big 5, aka the OCEAN personality assessment
Robert Kegan’s model of adult cognitive, affective, and social development

I like how there’s a footnote that calls out how “old white dude” the field is.
