Ken Wilber

Ken Wilber (b. 1949, Oklahoma City) is the author of more than twenty-five books, including Sex, Ecology, Spirituality, A Brief History of Everything and the more recent Finding Radical Wholeness. He developed Integral Theory, a four-quadrant framework for mapping consciousness and development, and in 1987 founded the Integral Institute in Boulder, Colorado, drawing on decades of personal contemplative practice within Zen and Vajrayana Buddhism alongside Western psychology.

He does not lead his own satsangs or retreats but remains active as a writer and public speaker; he appeared at the ICON integral conference in Denver in May 2026 and engages his audience through social media and a Patreon channel.
