SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm: Science\, Order and Creativity
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: Physics and Metaphysics\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: Contemplation and Creativity\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 1: Physics and Metaphysics \n\n\n\nwith Emily Adlam\, Basil Hiley\, Paavo Pylkkänen and Giuseppe Vitiello \n\n\n\nChaired by Shantena Augusto Sabbadini \n\n\n\nJuly 10 – 11\, 17 – 18 and Closing Panel 25\, 20219:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\nTwo hour sessions on Saturdays and Sundays \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live; recordings will be available for any sessions you are unable to attend. \n\n\n\nDavid Bohm has given a fundamental contribution to the still ongoing debate on the interpretation of quantum physics\, a contribution largely ignored by the mainstream physics community for decades\, but now being rediscovered and taken into consideration both in philosophical debate and in mathematical and experimental developments. \n\n\n\nThis first sequence of Beyond Bohm: Science\, Order and Creativity will explore some outer edges of these investigations. \n\n\n\n\nIt will describe how contextuality (one of the most puzzling features of the quantum world) is represented in the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation of quantum physics and compare it to various alternatives.\n\n\n\nIt will follow up Bohm’s investigation of consciousness in terms of a dialogue between the self and its Double (the representation it constructs of its surroundings).\n\n\n\nIt will outline the Dirac-Bohm picture\, a very significant recent mathematical result that provides a different physical intuition with which to understand quantum phenomena.\n\n\n\nIt will illustrate some of Bohm’s key philosophical contributions to a scientific metaphysics and sketch how they could be further developed in future research.\n\n\n\n\nTake this unique opportunity to participate in an exploration of what Bohm’s ideas mean for the future\, by former colleagues of David Bohm and scholars of his work. \n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday July 10Contextuality in de Broglie-Bohm and Beyondwith Emily Adlam \n\n\n\nSunday July 11The Brain and its Mindful Doublewith Giuseppe Vitiello \n\n\n\nSaturday July 17The Dirac-Bohm Picture: Bohm’s 1952 Approach in a Wider Contextwith Basil Hiley \n\n\n\nSunday July 18Understanding the Nature of Reality and Consciousness: Bohm’s Philosophical Projectwith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSunday July 25Closing Panel – Physics and Metaphysicswith Emily Adlam\, Basil Hiley\, Shantena Augusto Sabbadini and David Schrum \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: Contemplation and Creativity \n\n\n\nwith more than 25 guest presentersChaired by Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nAugust 14 – 15\, 21 – 22\, 28 – 29\, 20219:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\nTwo hour sessions every Saturdays and Sundays \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live; recordings will be available for any sessions you are unable to attend. \n\n\n\nDavid Bohm’s work has been highly influential in the world of physics\, but his philosophical ideas crossed multiple disciplines with a holistic approach. This sequence of presentations will follow some of these ideas\, and explore new threads of inquiry inspired by Bohm: \n\n\n\nHow can artistic expression and philosophical inquiry complement one another? What is the role of imagination in exploring the polarity between participatory consciousness and literal thought? What can we learn from Indigenous cultures about enfoldment and unfoldment in the natural order? Can Bohm’s insight into participatory understanding\, along with Buddhist principles\, point the way through our collective human sorrow to what may lie beyond? What does the lineage of those who influenced Bohm’s dialogue tell us about the transmission and evolution of participative consciousness in today’s world? \n\n\n\nEach of these questions will be addressed in this six-part sequence of presentations. We hope you can join us as we attempt to stand on Bohm’s shoulders and peer into the future. \n\n\n\nAll sessions will be in ’roundtable’ format\, with each having a core group of guest presenters in conversation and dialogue. In most case\, the presentations will be followed 30 minutes of discussion and Q & A with all those attending the session. In total\, we have more than 25 guest presenters bringing their insights to ‘Beyond Bohm\, Part 2.’ \n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday August 14Creativity and the Artistwith Jessica Ball\, Alison Churchill\, Emma Cocker and Hester Reeve \n\n\n\nSunday August 15Imagination and Participation: A Bohm-Barfield Nexuswith James Peat Barbieri\, Hester Reeve\, Mark Vernon.

SUMMARY:Imagination and Participation: A Bohm-Barfield Nexus
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\nImagination and Participation: A Bohm-Barfield Nexus with Lee Nichol\, James Peat Barbieri\, Hester Reeve\, Mark Vernon€10\,00\n\n\nShop now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImagination and Participation: A Bohm-Barfield Nexus \n\n\n\nwith James Peat Barbieri\, Hester Reeve\, Mark VernonFacilitated by Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nSunday August 15\, 20219:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nIf you are unable to attend the live session\, the recording will be available. \n\n\n\nFor those who have surveyed David Bohm’s version of dialogue and the larger theoretical context from which it emerged\, a trove of concepts and definitions will be familiar: participatory thought\, literal thought\, thought of type “A” and type “B”\, representations\, collective representations. \n\n\n\nWhat is less familiar is the extent to which Bohm imported these concepts from his long relationship with the philologist Owen Barfield\, whose lifework centered around what he called “the evolution of consciousness.” In this view\, human consciousness has shifted from a dispersed\, widely focused consciousness (original participation) to the pinpoint\, individualized consciousness that we experience today. Barfield proposed that this atomistic\, individualized consciousness has the potential to now open into a transformed participatory mode\, deriving from the “interiority\,” or selfhood\, that is a correlate of individuated consciousness. \n\n\n\nOur roundtable will survey the relationship between the two men\, and the mutually informing nature of their respective bodies of work. We aim to develop a kind of “binocular vision\,” in which the overlapping insights of Bohm and Barfield yield greater depth and understanding than either one standing alone. This will lead us to a key point of reference the two men shared – the nature of imagination as outlined by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. We will attempt to indicate what this kind of imagination has to offer contemporary humanity – and the prospect of moving from a theory of imagination to its practical engagement and flowering. \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol\, Bohm collaborator\, editor\, educator \n\n\n\nLee Nichol is the editor of David Bohm’s On Dialogue; On Creativity; and The Essential David Bohm. From 1980-1992 he collaborated with Bohm on various aspects of dialogue\, consciousness\, and education. \n\n\n\nHe has been on the faculty of the Arthur Morgan School in Celo\, NC; of the Oak Grove School in Ojai\, CA; of the Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, CA; and of Denver University in Denver\, CO. \n\n\n\nLee is currently at work on a new book – Entering Bohm’s Holoflux – to be released in July 2021 by Pari Publishing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJames Peat Barbieri studied at a professional dance school\, Ateneo della Danza\, Siena\, and then moved on to academic studies. He graduated from King’s College\, University of London in Physics and Philosophy in 2019. \n\n\n\nHe is on the Board of Directors of the Pari Center\, a member of the Editorial Board of the Pari Perspectives journal\, and a member of the Programming Committee. He is also the host of many of the Pari Center’s webcasts. In addition to physics\, his interests include film\, art\, and philosophy. He is interested in analysing cinema and works of art by applying philosophical approaches such as aesthetics and the Continental philosophies. \n\n\n\nJames has been taking part in conferences and courses at the Pari Center since he was 11. He was David Peat’s Teaching Assistant from the age of 15 and has since then given several presentations at the Pari Center\, including two mini-courses on ‘Beauty and Mathematics\,’ dealing with the relationship of Nature and the Golden Section; on Hegel’s philosophy and its symmetry with the works of David Bohm; and the historical relationship between Art and Science. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHester Reeve’s practice encompasses live art\, philosophy\, drawing\, David Bohm’s ‘Dialogue’ and social sculpture. \n\n\n\nShe is interested in the relationship between critical thinking and human agency in everyday life\, particularly when it is risked through the figure of ‘the artist’ (where what constitutes an artist is broadly conceived and not exclusive to art school training). \n\n\n\nRecent public works have been staged at Tanzquartier\, Vienna\, Tate Britain (working under the umbrella of The Emily Davison Lodge with Olivia Plender) and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. \n\n\n\nHester Reeve is Reader in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMark Vernon is a writer and psychotherapist. He contributes to and presents programmes on the radio\, as well as writing for the national and religious press\, and online publications. He also podcasts\, in particular The Sheldrake-Vernon Dialogues with Rupert Sheldrake\, gives talks and leads workshops. He has a PhD in ancient Greek philosophy\, and other degrees in physics and in theology\, having studied at Durham\, Oxford and Warwick universities. He is the author of several books\, including his latest\, which in part explores the work of Owen Barfield: A Secret History of Christianity: Jesus\, the Last Inkling and the Evolution of Consciousness. He used to be an Anglican priest and lives in London\, UK. He is working on the notion of spiritual intelligence with the research group\, Perspectiva. For more information see www.markvernon.com.
