Miriam Mason Martineau works as an integral counsellor, parenting coach, writer and educator. She is vice-president of Next Step Integral, an organization that applies integral consciousness and vision to parenting, education, ecology, and community. For the past 15 years Miriam has studied and researched how parenting can be pursued as a spiritual practice. She sees parenting as one of our greatest opportunities for personal growth and evolutionary activism. This has led her to offering courses on the topic, working as a coach for parents, and writing a book (forthcoming) titled "Raising the Future ­-- an Integral Evolutionary Approach to Parenting."

Miriam’s interest in integral health & vitality, peak performance and integral leadership building have led her to her work with a cutting-edge international nutraceutical company. Miriam has a Masters Degree in Psychology from the University of Zurich, with a specialization in Youth and Child Psychology, and is also a certified teacher of Laban Modern Dance, as well as a singer and vocal instructor. She leads workshops on authentic voice and movement, and has performed both as a soloist and in a variety of choirs such as the Swiss National Television Choir. From 1992-2002 Miriam lived in an integrally-informed intentional community and there honed the skills of group facilitation, conflict resolution and generative dialogue.

With her husband, Stephan Martineau, she creates transformative community and educational events internationally, as well teaches courses on integral community and evolving the relational field. Miriam lives in the pristine mountains of interior British Columbia, homeschooling her daughter, growing a garden, and co-creating Community.
