We invite you to meet the maker of the movie, Grace and Grit, Sebastian Siegel, in Q&A with Nomali Perera, followed by a session of Integral Life Practice.
Inspired by one of Ken Wilber’s most beloved and acclaimed books, Sebastian Siegel set out on a decade-long journey of dedication and commitment, ultimately, to Love. In this conversation, Sebastian shares his brave decision-making process around committing to this project, what writing, producing, and directing this movie has meant to him, and how he steps into his work — no matter what that might be — as an Integral Life Practice.
Sebastian also discusses several other themes of the movie, such as the challenging aspects of how he attempted to include the many voices of Treya and Ken Wilber as subjects and authors, the meta-voice of the transpersonal, plus Sebastian’s own voice as the creator of the movie. We also hear from Sebastian —after having been in this project for a decade — what “grace” means to him, and who Treya has become to him, a beloved woman in the integral community that not many of us had the privilege of meeting.
Once the interview ended, Nomali then led a short contemplative practice in exploring the topic of grace and grit as something we all need in order to live purposefully, face challenges and birth our dreams in the same way Sebastian did, and in how Ken and Treya exemplified in this profound story of transcendent love.
Released on the 4th of June, 2021, starring Mena Suvari and Stuart Townsend, with Frances Fisher, Rebekah Graf, Nick Stahl, and Mariel Hemingway, the movie Grace and Grit is now available on Amazon Prime, Apple and other streaming services, as well as in select theaters.

What exactly do we mean by spirituality, and what do we mean specifically by “integral spirituality?” In this discussion, Nomali Perera presents a brief but vast array of ways in which we can explore this topic of integral spirituality. Her guests, longtime integral spiritual teachers and practitioners, Lama Pema Dragpa, Jeff Salzman & Rollie Stanich share their own inquiries and ideas of practices as well as answer questions from event attendees. At the end, you’ll also find a great integral anthem, “Universe Communion” by Stuart Davis, which beautifully captures the theme of integral spirituality.
Lama Pema Dragpa is a resident Dharma teacher at Padma Samye Ling (PSL) since 2004. Ordained as a lama, Dragpa graduated with honors in philosophy & religious studies from NYU in 2002, and is a senior editor of over 25 books on Buddhist philosophy & meditation.
Jeff Salzman co-founded the Boulder Integral Center, worked alongside Ken Wilber in the early to mid 2000s developing the Integral Institute, and has been the host of The Daily Evolver podcast for over 10 years. He also co-founded CareerTrack Training, an adult education company he and his partner built into an international organization producing over 3000. A long time spiritual practitioner in many traditions, he has a Masters Degree in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism from Naropa University.
Rollie Stanich was the co-director of the Integral Spiritual Center at Integral Institute in the mid 2000s and played a critical role in developing multiple events bringing together some of the best spiritual teachers of various traditions. He is the author of Integral Christianity: The Way of Embodied Love. Rollie Stanich grew up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He was awarded the University of Calgary’s highest scholarship for four consecutive years, and graduated with distinction from the Faculty of Management in 1990. Rollie is also working in the clean energy industry.
