Integral Relationship Author – Trainer – Consultant
Short Bio:
Martin is a NARM Trauma Informed Integral Relationship Author, Trainer, and Consultant who trains helping professionals and supports singles and couples in co-creating healthy integral love relationships that make the world a better place. He moved from Germany to California in the 90s where he trained with Eckhart Tolle as a group facilitator and later became an avid student of Ken Wilber’s Integral Philosophy. This allowed him to integrate his relationship experiences into his three books “Integral Relationships: A Manual for Men”, “Sex, Purpose, Love: Couples in Integral Relationships Creating a Better World”, and “Integral Relationship Practice: A Manual for Singles, Couples, Helping Professionals and Group Facilitators” which Wilber calls terrific and groundbreaking. Martin currently lives in Hua Hin, Thailand, and California, and consults and teaches online and facilitates experiential workshops and trainings worldwide.
Long Bio:
Martin (1957) moved from Germany to California in 1995, where he trained with Eckhart Tolle as a Power of Now group facilitator. In 2006 he became an avid student of Ken Wilber’s Integral philosophy. This allowed him to integrate his relationship experiences with the wisdom from over 200 relationship books into Integral Relationships: A Manual for Men, which Ken Wilber calls “a terrific book and very impressive”. It is now translated into several languages and read in over 30 countries.
In 2011, Martin began to lead experiential integral relationship workshops in the US, Europe (including Russia), and Australia. In 2017, he released his second book, Sex, Purpose, Love: Couples in Integral Relationships Creating a Better World, in which he takes an integral approach to our capacity to love along the seven chakras and outlines why relationships with a shared purpose matter for a peaceful and sustainable future of humanity.
Ken Wilber calls it “a ground-breaking work how to make love relationships work from the very highest potentials possible.”
In 2020, Martin began to offer a 26-week Integral Relationship Online Training for Singles, Couples, Helping Professionals, and Group Facilitators which has been completed by over 350 students from 35 countries. The training material is now available in his third book, Integral Relationship Practice: A Manual for Singles, Couples, Helping Professionals and Group Facilitators. Ken Wilber calls it “a brilliant book about Integral relationships, particularly in their practice form.”
In fall 2022, Martin graduated as a NARM Trauma Informed Practitioner.
He currently offers consultations, group and private trainings online via Zoom and live workshops and trainings and around the world.
“Martin has continued his ground-breaking work in applying Integral Theory to the whole complex issue of relationships. Like his first book in this area “Integral Relationships: A Manual for Men”, his second book “Sex Purpose Love” is fully grounded in Integral Theory, and continues adding new, interesting, and relevant material to it, to bring a truly up-to-date overview of today’s relationships and how to make them work from the very highest potentials possible. Some of it is controversial, but that’s what you expect from any truly great pioneering approaches, and this is certainly that. Given the fractured and fragmented state of relationships as they exist now, nothing is more important for today than a truly comprehensive and inclusive, and leading-edge guide. Highly recommended for men and women alike who are looking for a relationship today that will actually last. So check this out, you’ll be very glad you did!”
