SUMMARY:Love in the Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Love in the Time of CrisisFrom Separation to Interbeing \n\n\n\nwith John Briggs\, Will Buckingham\, Jane Clark\, Vincent Colapietro\, Satish Kumar\, Ramona Rolle-Berg\, Renée Rolle-Whatley\, Rabbi Neal Rose and Mark Vernonand Special guest poet Richard Berengarten \n\n\n\nPari Center Online Series \n\n\n\nMay 7 – 8\, 14 – 15\, 21 – 22\, 28 – 29\, 20229:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\n8 Two-hour sessions\, Saturdays and Sundays \n\n\n\nBlessed be the covenant of love between what is hidden and what is revealed.Leonard Cohen \n\n\n\nWe live in a challenging time of transition which promises both hope and peril.  How are we to navigate a course that will take us from a story of separation\, competition\, and distrust to a new narrative of inter-being\, cooperation\, and love? How do we begin to give up and move beyond an incoherent and too often destructive structure of consciousness and a world which seems rarely to see the mediating presence of what has been called ‘evolutionary love’? \n\n\n\nThis program approaches these questions and others from a wide variety of perspectives: \n\n\n\nOn our journey we explore the concept of ‘evolutionary love’ in the context of the metaphysics of Charles Sanders Peirce with Vincent Colapietro. We travel into and through the rich imagery of love in literature and culture with John Briggs. We enter energy and mind-body medicine with Renee Rolle-Whatley and Ramona Rolle-Berg\, each of whom holds a PhD in Mind Body Medicine\, as we explore parental love. With Mark Vernon we will address the need for a deeper awareness of love that becomes particularly acute in times of crisis\, though times of crisis also offer moments to understand love move fully. \n\n\n\nSatish Kumar brings us to ecology\, approached from a love which finds its expression in a reverence for nature—which he strongly feels should be at the heart of every political and social debate. Jane Clark and Mark Vernon take us with them in a journey which explores the meaning of divine love. \n\n\n\nIn this program\, we will approach love from multiple perspectives of how to go about restoring the power of love—the power of a positive mediating force\, to enliven\, re-enchant\, and re-invigorate our world. We seek pathways that restore reason as a guide to the expansion of knowledge and understanding\, and we see love as a guide\, bringing goodness and order to their application. From within the midst of present chaos\, we look to love in its varied dimensions to bring quiescence within\, and creativity and intelligence in its outer expression. \n\n\n\nWe are again fortunate to have poet\, Richard Berengarten\, as part of our series on the theme of love. Richard will be read short poems from several of his collections\, including The Blue Butterfly\,  Notness\, Changing \, and a new sequence of villanelles in honour of Tao Yuanming\, entitled The Wine Cup. Richard will briefly introduce himself and his work and each session will begin with his reading from one of these books. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday May 7Temporality and Tragedy: Irrevocable Loss and Redemptive Lovewith Vincent Colapietro \n\n\n\nSunday May 8Tales of Love and Narcissism in Classical Jewish Sourceswith Rabbi Neal Rose \n\n\n\nSaturday May 14Portrayals of Love in Literature and Culturewith John Briggs \n\n\n\nSunday May 15Power of Lovewith Satish Kumar \n\n\n\nSaturday May 21Parenting as a Journey towards Awakening: Exploring Self-growth through the Hidden Guidance of the Heartwith Ramona Rolle-Berg and Renée Rolle-Whatley \n\n\n\nSunday May 22Love In A Time of Crisiswith Mark Vernon \n\n\n\nSaturday May 28Love Across Traditionswith Jane Clark and Mark Vernon \n\n\n\nSunday May 29Strangers on the Threshold: Love\, Wisdom\, and the Task of Philosophywith Will Buckingham

Why do we philosophise? And why\, in a time of crisis\, does philosophy matter?A familiar answer might be that philosophy is the love of wisdom\, that we philosophise out of a hunger for wisdom\, and that this deep need for wisdom is all the greater when we navigate through times of crisis. But for the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas\, this gets things back to front. Philosophy\, Levinas writes\, is not the love of wisdom. It is\, instead\, the wisdom of love in the service of love. Why do we philosophise? Why do we awaken to philosophical questions? Levinas’s answer is clear: we philosophise\, or awaken to love’s wisdom\, because we are called to do so by another – by the proximity of a stranger on the threshold\, by someone who is not us.In a time of crisis\, the temptation is often to withdraw\, to fall back on our own resources\, or to batten down the hatches. But in this talk\, writer and philosopher Will Buckingham will explore how Levinas sets out a more challenging\, and more fruitful\, path. Weaving together philosophy and storytelling\, he will argue that in a time of crisis\, the greatest philosophical demand may be this: to open up the door. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Love in a Time of Crisis Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill Buckingham is a writer from the UK with a PhD in philosophy and an MA in anthropology. He has previously been associate professor of writing and creativity at De Montfort University\, Leicester\, and visiting associate professor in the School of Literature and Journalism at Sichuan University. He now works as a freelance writer\, and is on the visiting faculty at Parami University\, Myanmar. His most recent book is Hello\, Stranger: How We Find Connection in a Disconnected World (Granta 2021). https://www.willbuckingham.com
