The Big idea is to create a state of the art laboratory that integrates the best of:

• Physical architectures which enable people to engage with all their planes of being (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) in contact with the energies of nature, music and art. Top of the line designed spaces for reseach, learn, teach, work, collaborate, dialogue and practice.

• Internet architectures to empower individuals and groups in Global collective intelligence and socialmedia practices to break the time/space barrier and expand collaboration, harvest knowledge, extend reach and enable scaling to larger numbers of people.

To fully enhance ICON`s work we will build two laboratories which complement each other, augment opportunities for market reach, innovation and sustainability. One located in Mexico city and the other inValle de Bravo.

The main laboratory is located in ICON-Valle de Bravo. It will serve ICON to realize its full potential as it provides for:

• Research and development to map the outlines of the emerging field of domains, which support ICON's strategic interests or those of our partners, such as leading edge tools, platforms and practices that empower us to replicate or create new social, environmental, economical, spiritual forms.
  

• Opportunities to implement and transmit research findings and new developments through our community of residents, local and regional communities (with a high focus in Valle de Bravo and surrounding communities), organizations and global networks.

• The physical and internet infrastructure (architectures, platforms, methodologies) to learn, teach, coach, collaborate and practice on all ICON's domains and grounds of experience. Spaces for ICON local residents (children, youth, adults, elders), the local community of Valle de Bravo and organizations worldwide.
  

• Collaboration spaces for the implementation, development and consulting on global collective intelligence and socialmedia.

• Weaving the social fabric by hosting events and processes for conversations that matter (reach agreements, solve problems, innovate, create) for local/ regional communities and organizations.

• Generative architectures, technologies and processes for hosting visionary, pioneers and leadership circles.
  

• Empowering evolutionary projects which have an strategic interest for ICON vision.

• Library covering the leading edge evolutionary topics (Hard cover and audio books, magazines, journals, audio technologies).

• Socialmedia Infraestructure to produce and broadcast conscious media to the world. Opening engaging opportunities with conscious networks.
  

• Harvesting technology and facilitation with top of the line forms of collecting, synthesizing and accessing data for further processing.

• Multimedia lab for events and learning support in domains such as music and music technologies, audio, film, documentaries, live broadcasting and webcasting.

• Wisdom arts and noetic sciences laboratories (spiritual perception of reality and actuality expressed through music, art and science).

• Spaces to practice meditation and integral yoga
  

COWL DF (Mexico city) is the space to expand our circle of influence, offer our products/services, attract transformational leaders, decision-makers, social powerful people, social entrepreneurs. It is also the link to offer extended services in COWL-Valle. COWL DF will integrate some of the spaces designed for COWL such as: meditation and training dojo, collaboration space a childrens dojo as well as a fully organic/sustainable café.

COWL-DF will provide for:

• Training center for leaders interested in our knowledge fields and network
• 360 degrees internet-mediated spaces for experiencing distance collaboration, events and networking
• Conducive space for hosting networking events and conversations that matter
• Convener space for leaders and social entrepreneurs dialogues
• Social Transformation café in alliance with project Maya
• Attractor for the services and fields of work of COWL Valle
• Library with the leading edge evolutionary topics
  
• Networking Hub targetted to Mexico`s cultural creatives
• Childrens dojo (catalyst for the expansion of feminine power)
