This website is one of our network of ten that are operated by the Carolina Institute for Conflict Resolution and Creative Leadership (CICRCL, pronounced “circle”) and based in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. As Co-directors of CICRCL, our mission is providing evolutionary resources to help people shift their consciousness. On this website we talk about how our systemic developmental approach can advance evolution and the systemic approach that we've developed. We apply our developmental model in two ways.
The first is to map an optimal track of human evolution that we call LOVEvolution. On this track, people are ableto give and receive unconditional love. The second track of human evolution, which we call the Trauma Track, shows how developmental shock, trauma and stress interfere with people completing the essential developmental processes during their development and blocks their ability to give and receive unconditional love. We identified the essential developmental processes required for the optimal development of an individual through our own research in developmental psychology and that of other developmental psychologists. We believe that these processes create a relational template that forms the foundation for individual, couple and family development and ultimately drives the evolution of all human systems, including the human race. Having these critical developmental descriptors makes it much easier to determine the actual impact of traumatic early childhood events on human development.
Because most people really don't know what optimal human development looks and feels like, the effects of shocking,
traumatic, and stressful early childhood events have become accepted as part of
the “human condition.” This belief helps hide the true impact of unrecognized
and unhealed developmental shock, trauma, and stress on optimal human
development. We believe that it is time to create a collective vision of what is
humanly possible: the possible human. Only then can we identify and remedy what
interferes with achieving this ideal.
