Help more tables make peace.

Culture War Decoders is for readers and hosts who want to disagree better, and to help other people do it too. Here’s how to be part of it.

Ways to help

Pick one. They all count.

Host a circle

The free Circle Guide has everything you need for six evenings.

Run a circle →

Bring someone who sees it differently

The invitation rule: each person brings one person from the other side of politics or of the generation gap.

Find a circle →

Share your circle’s numbers

The guide’s optional before-and-after Check shows whether a circle is working. Send in your circle’s totals, never anyone’s individual answers.

Send totals →

Leave an honest review

Reviews are how new readers find a book. The honest ones help most.

For integral and Spiral Dynamics communities

Ideas you’ve practiced for years, made for people who’ve never heard of them.

The Culture War Code takes Spiral Dynamics and Ken Wilber’s work to the kitchen table, in plain language, as tools anyone can use. That is the author’s reading of those ideas — not an endorsement by NVC Consulting, Ken Wilber or Integral Life.

Its bet is simple: integral moves don’t have to wait for integral people. With a good structure, ordinary people can make them on an ordinary day. A circle is the place to test that bet, and your community can help.
