About the Pari Center
The Pari Center provides a space where people can gather together, to learn from one another, to discuss, to reflect, to work on a project and, most importantly, to meet and talk with others at the human and personal level.
A modern Center with ancient roots
Housed in a medieval village, it is the ideal location to pause and think about the future and the values, meaning, and direction of contemporary society.
All-year round courses and events
Residential conferences, courses, workshops and seminars. We also host regular webinars that investigate different topics in depth.
A valuable source of knowledge
From the philosophy and work of David Bohm to the ideas of C.G. Jung, the contribution of Indigenous knowledge, and David Peat’s Gentle Action.

Holoflux: Codex
Physicist and philosopher David Bohm used the term holoflux (alternately holomovement) as the metaphysical foundation for his well-known vision of the โimplicate order.โ By holoflux, Bohm was pointing to an underlying movement of vast scale, which gives rise to all of existence, both seen and unseen.
Beginning in 2020, a group of 30 people began a sustained inquiry into the real-life implications of this vision, clustered around a few core questions: Is there some actuality behind the word โholofluxโ? If so, what does it look like? What does it feel like? What is a human beingโs relationship to such a primordial phenomenon? Can we gain direct experience of it, actively participate in its movement?
Holoflux: Codex is a collection of artistic impressions and philosophical reflections arising from this two-year experiment that explores the states of consciousness that arise when โentering Bohmโs holoflux.โ It is the work of six individuals who shared their insights and experiences as the experiment unfolded.

Entering Bohmโs Holoflux
By Lee Nichol
Download the beautifully illustrated book by Lee Nichol โ Entering Bohmโs Holoflux, which documents the highlights of a 15-part video series sponsored by the Pari Center.
Bohmโs vision for dialogue is crystal clearโhe speaks of three aspects of human experienceโthe individual, the collective, and the cosmic. Entering Bohmโs Holoflux addresses the full spectrum of David Bohmโs work with dialogue, with emphasis on the individual and cosmic aspects, which are often neglected in many presentations of Bohmโs work. Lee Nicholโs Entering Bohmโs Holoflux explores portions of a forty-year inquiry into โindividualโ work, as well as more recent probings into what Bohm might have been indicating by the โcosmicโ dimension of the human being.
It is offered free, in the spirit of furthering true inquiry into the nature of human being.
