THE ART OF FLOURISHING IN CHALLENGING TIMES
We live in remarkable - and challenging - times. Science and medicine have made
vast inroads in mapping our genetic inheritance. New technology has made us a
global village. We have greater human rights, faster communication, and are able
to travel almost anywhere in the world within a day. But despite these advances
and the resurgent hope generated by the promise of a forward-thinking
administration, it is a time of profound upheaval. Unprecedented economic
uncertainty, moral breakdown, and threats to our current way of life leave
increasing numbers of people unsettled and adrift without meaning or direction. Times of collective and personal crisis always afford the opportunity for great
breakthroughs and transformations. In this workshop - a combination
of lecture, dialogue and experiential practices drawn from the
Western psychotherapeutic, Eastern meditative and yogic
traditions - participants will gain tools to navigate this uncertain
and generative time.
- Discover sources of realistic hope which are indispensable in tackling the challenges in our paths;
- Cultivate clarity and equanimity, which are essential in detecting personal and social conditioning and skillfully adapting to change;
- Access the unconscious wisdom of the mind and body to fashion new solutions to stubborn problems;
- Compost painful - and uplifting - emotions to deepen insight, expand energy, and heighten empathy;
- Develop life-affirming values;
- Cultivate integrity-in-action to use as a guide through ethical complexity and confusion;
- Dream together in imaginative ways about a more sustainable world
