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:Changing Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\nChanging Consciousness with Sandra Fiegehen\, David Schrum and Stephen Smith€10\,00\n\n\nShop now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChanging Consciousness \n\n\n\nwith Sandra Fiegehen\, David Schrum and Stephen Smith \n\n\n\nSunday August 22\, 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\nHuman consciousness is a shared space. As individuals\, we are born into an inherited socio-cultural matrix from which almost all of what we think and do derives.  As Bohm points out\, thought is a material process which pervades and dominates us. \n\n\n\nWe need to realise that we are participants.  We must make a basic shift: from literal thought to participatory thought\, a process in which we partake of consciousness. This can then become a kind of “food” which\, in our times\, we so desperately need. \n\n\n\nDialogue provides the opportunity for listening and sharing\, out of which a sense of communion may arise\, operating to nourish our spirit and open us to luminous intelligence.  Thought may then find its proper\, natural place; it is a guest in our house\, not a usurper. \n\n\n\n– Stephen Smith \n\n\n\nAlthough we most often experience ourselves as separate islands of consciousness operating independently of that which surrounds us\, our sense of separateness is constructed and illusory. \n\n\n\nThis separate self sense is a mere representation of the dynamic and unfolding process of conscious experience\, a kind of alienated existence characterized by various degrees of narcissistic wounding acquired throughout the course of our development. We each play out these wounded\, ‘separate’ selves in ways that create more suffering\, both for ourselves and for others. \n\n\n\nHow can we find our way to realizing and embodying our common consciousness authentically and creatively?  I will briefly explore some key Buddhist principles and how to bring them into practice in daily life. \n\n\n\n– Sandra Fiegehen \n\n\n\nTo understand our lives and to live intelligently\, creatively\, and compassionately\, David Bohm indicates\, we must meet those dimensions of mind which for us are hidden. Beyond the surface of our consciousness\, as personal memories\, attitudes\, and dispositions\, we come upon that which is subtle: both as a flow of great momentum that is vast and ancient\, and as a spacious field which is always new. These depths are common to us all\, but we tend to be unaware. How are we to awaken? \n\n\n\nBohm offers us what he terms ‘participatory understanding’. This understanding is not ‘conceptual understanding’\, which seeks to have understood and to lodge an understanding in memory. Rather\, it is a living movement. It is embodiment; it is presence. \n\n\n\nOur journey together is an invitation to explore this deeper inner world. \n\n\n\n– David Schrum \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm Series\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Sandra Fiegehen is a retired Psychologist presently obsessed with growing raspberries. She has practiced and taught Chan (Zen) meditation for the last 15 years. Throughout her life\, she has pursued a variety of psycho-spiritual approaches to the question of who and what she is – and is pleased to report that her investigations have resulted in near-absolute uncertainty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Schrum received his PhD in quantum theory at Queen’s University\, following which he spent two post-doctoral years with David Bohm at Birkbeck College. Here\, he entered Bohm’s world of creative and subtle philosophical approaches to physics and his enquiry into consciousness and what may lie beyond. \n\n\n\nDavid Schrum continues in these explorations\, in physics developing a new approach to relativistic quantum theory and\, through the dialogue process\, going into what it is to bring to light that which lies enfolded within our individual and collective consciousness. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStephen Smith has been Acting Principal\, Academic Director\, and for twenty years a teacher at Brockwood Park School in England\, where he met Krishnamurti and knew David Bohm personally.  His interest in dialogue took a decisive turn when he moved to California in 1994 and began to facilitate dialogue groups.  He sees dialogue as a means of mirroring the psyche so that we can move from being thought-bound individuals\, embrace the collective\, and awaken intelligence.
