Serving Wilmington, DE and the Mid- Atlantic
It is the vision of the Community for Integrative Learning (CIL) that through thought-provoking programs and activities, those we touch experience greater harmony, expanded creativity and enriched purpose along with increased connectedness and well-being.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." ~ Margaret Mead
Special Announcement About Our Journey
After much deliberation the CIL Board has come to the understanding that as sweet as these 23 plus years have been we are bringing our offerings to a close.
We so cherish all the good times and memories we have shared with our community, however, we have decided that it is our time to say good bye.
We are very grateful and so thankful for the support of all of our members over these many years. YOU have been our reason for existing.
Also, as the Educational Arm of the Brandywine Pastoral Institute whose support made us possible, we offer a very special Thanks to Donna & Tom Ledbetter.
We do however plan to End where we began . . . .
CIL Farewell Celebration
"Mystics & Mysticism" with Gene Thompson, PhD and CIL Founding Director and Co-Founder

Westminster Presbyterian Church Chapel

Perhaps the greatest challenge facing our world is the growing and dangerous gap between exponential growth of technology and the very slow growth of collective human maturity.
We invent new things faster than we grow wisdom to handle them, Think AI. The small but important community of mystics are catalysts for human growth.
Come learn what defines a mystic and what they offer our world. And learn that most or even all of us have experiences of a mystical flavor.
Gene retired from DuPont in 1992 as a research manager. He was trained as a chemist (Ph.D.), but says he would starve today practicing chemistry as his interests have turned to philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and poetry. He loves reading, learning, and teaching, especially the works of philosopher-mystic Ken Wilber. He is an active member of First and Central Presbyterian church.
