Pt1 in which I started to examine the Integral Health aspects of the Channel 4 programme Don't Look Down.

Channel 4 Slammed Over Dont Look Down DocumentaryI was fascinated last week to watch the Channel 4 programme Don't Look Down, about urban free climber James Kingston last Sunday.

But as I sat there, all I could see, was the understanding that has come from the last few years of studying Integral Theory and the work of David Deida.
