"Integral means comprehensive, holistic, inclusive, nonmarginalizing, embracing..."

An integral approach attempts to include as many perspectives, styles, or methodologies as possible within a coherent view of a given topic.  For example, it can 'integrate' insights from science, religion and philosophy, demonstrating how each perspective contributes toward a more comprehensive, coherent worldview.  In this way, an integral approach draws together a number of separate paradigms into an interrelated network of approaches that are mutually enriching.

There is no expression in English that encompasses the meaning of the Hebrew word 'MAMASH.'  Instead of a word, the only equivalent in the English language is an exclamation mark (!)

For example, if you see a sunset in all of its amazing beauty, you might say, "That's beautiful!"  Notice the exclamation mark?  That's where the word 'MAMASH' goes.

The same can be said about Rabbi Heyn's band.  MAMASH is a loosely-knit network of musicians engaged in developing an integral approach to life, music, and spirituality.
