SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2022
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: Imagination\, Creativity\, Dialogue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: David Bohm and Philosophy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bohm has been described as one of the most significant and original thinkers of the twentieth century whose interests and influence extend well beyond the field of physics to include philosophy\, psychology\, language\, religion\, art\, creativity\, thought\, and education. Underlying his innovative approach to these many different issues was the fundamental idea that beyond the visible\, tangible world there lies a deeper\, implicate order of undivided wholeness. \n\n\n\nDuring July and August the Pari Center is offering a unique opportunity to hear and dialogue with those involved in the many aspects of David Bohm’s work and to discuss the implications of his ideas for the future. All sessions include audience participation in the form of Q&A and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 1: Imagination\, Creativity\, Dialogue\n\n\n\nPari Center Online Series \n\n\n\nJuly 9 – 10\, 16 – 17\, 23 – 24\, 2022 \n\n\n\n9:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\n6 Two-hour sessions\, Saturdays and Sundays \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nIn this second year of our Beyond Bohm series\, we will emphasize three themes–one for each of three weekends in July. \n\n\n\nThe first weekend will explore imagination. How might we enter it? How might we inhabit it? On July 9 we will inquire into how David Bohm worked with imagination\, while improvising upon and extending Bohm’s approach. On July 10 we will explore Tim Ingold’s radical anthropology and his new book\, Imagining for Real\, while touching upon some of the linkages with Bohm’s “participatory consciousness.” We are delighted that Prof. Ingold will join us for this session. \n\n\n\nOur second weekend will take up questions of creativity and the artistic process. On July 16 and 17 we will engage with the work of four different artists\, and the way this work complements and illuminates the work of David Bohm. Themes will include wholeness and fragmentation\, the artistic movement from implicate to explicate\, the nature of perception\, and the relation of consciousness to the “art object.” \n\n\n\nOur final weekend has the theme of dialogue. On July 23 our roundtable will open up the many questions and concerns regarding the shift from ‘in person” dialogue to on-line dialogue during the time of Covid-19. We will also take into consideration some of the more general questions about the human-digital-technological interface. Finally\, on July 24 we will have our second annual Indigenous Dialogue\, facilitated by Leroy Little Bear. This year’s theme is “Walk in Beauty\,” and will consider various approaches to ecology\, the environment\, and the Anthropocene”–the time of the new human. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday July 9Imagining Imaginationwith Richard Burg\, Beth Macy and Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nSunday July 10Imagining for Realwith Tim Ingold\, Melissa Nelson\, Lee Nichol and Hester Reeve \n\n\n\nSaturday July 16 and Sunday July 17Processes of Creation\, Part One and Twowith Steven Breaux\, Aja Bulla-Richards\, Sky Hoorne and Hester Reeve \n\n\n\nSaturday July 23Dialogue in the Age of Zoomwith Julie Arts\, Richard Burg\, Anna Factor\, Sally Jeffery\, Beth Macy\, Lee Nichol and David Schrum \n\n\n\nSunday July 24Indigenous Dialogue: Walk in Beautywith Leroy Little Bear\, Jeannette Armstrong\, Greg Cajete\, Amethyst First Rider\, Robin Wall Kimmerer\, Melissa Nelson\, John Briggs\, Harvey Locke and Lee Nichol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: David Bohm and Philosophy\n\n\n\nwith Basil Hiley\, Marja-Liisa Kakkuri-Knuuttila\, Petteri Limnell\, Paavo Pylkkänen\, William Seager and Marij van StrienCurated by Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nPari Center Online Series \n\n\n\nAugust 6 – 7\, 20 – 21\, 27 – 28\, 2022 \n\n\n\n9:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\n6 Two-hour sessions\, Saturdays and Sundays \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nDavid Bohm was concerned with providing a description of reality – at the quantum level\, and more generally\, a unified description of matter\, life\, and consciousness\, all adding up to a general concept of reality or a metaphysical theory. This concern with reality did not mean that he ignored the role of the mind (language\, perception\, etc.) in his attempts to describe reality. In other words\, he did not ignore epistemological issues or questions that concern the nature of our knowledge and the problems of justifying it. On the contrary\, his broad philosophical work includes extensive studies of various epistemic issues: physics and perception\, the notions of truth and understanding\, a view of science as “perception-communication”\, experimentation with the structure of language\, study of knowledge understood as process\, and discussions of topics such as communication\, creativity\, art\, religion and so on. This series discusses various aspects of Bohm’s philosophical thought. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday August 6Bohm and Philosophy: An Introductionwith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSunday August 7Creativity and the Generative Orderwith Petteri Limnell interviewed by Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSaturday August 20The Role of Philosophy in Bohm and Hiley’s Research in Physicswith Basil Hiley interviewed by Petteri Limnell \n\n\n\nSunday August 21Consciousness\, Bohm and the Quest for Intelligibilitywith William Seager \n\n\n\nSaturday August 27Why Bohm was Never a Deterministwith Marij van Strien \n\n\n\nSunday August 28Aristotelian Metaphysical and Epistemological Reflections in David Bohmwith Marja-Liisa Kakkuri-Knuuttila

SUMMARY:Dialogue in the Age of Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/bLlTWvifB-0?si=Zn3plc9IpimUy9Ik\n\n\n\n\n\nDialogue in the Age of Zoom \n\n\n\nwith Julie Arts\, Richard Burg\, Anna Factor\, Sally Jeffery\, Beth Macy\, Lee Nichol and David Schrum \n\n\n\nSaturday July 23\, 20229:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST  |  18:00 CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nIt is impossible to overstate the effects of Covid-19 on the manner in which human beings interact. High on the list of these effects is a massive shift to online interaction for work\, social engagement\, and personal interaction. Dialogue in its many forms – Bohmian or otherwise – has also been significantly impacted by this online shift. In this session we will draw on the experience of seven people who have deep roots in various aspects of dialogue\, both before and during the Covid pandemic. At the forefront of our inquiry will be the many variances that occur between in-the-flesh interaction on one hand\, and interaction through the medium of streaming video on the other. What experiences are gained through the digital milieu? What experiences are lost? Is the future of dialogue – and conversation more generally – being re-shaped in accord with technology? As Covid-19 becomes endemic\, will groups still gather face-to-face? What are the implications of these many changes? \n\n\n\nOur roundtable will also take up more general questions regarding the cultural impact of social media and the human-digital interface. In what ways does the milieu of these technologies shape our awareness? What new skills of critical thinking can guide us as the digital world becomes omnipresent? At multiple junctures\, we will invite audience members to engage with us on all of these questions. \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Panel\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJulie Arts is currently on a sabbatical from being a senior faculty member and consultant with the Presencing Institute (PI)\, an organisation founded in 2006 by Otto Scharmer and colleagues\, to support action research and leadership development for systems change and societal transformation.Julie is an economist by training and has worked as a senior consultant\, designing and hosting multi-stakeholder transition processes and ecosystem leadership programs such as the UN SDG Leadership Lab and many in-house leadership programs for companies and NGOs. Julie is also a board member of Meg Wheatley’s Berkana Institute. She lives in Mechelen\, Belgium and in Pari\, Italy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Burg – In 2003 I retired from consulting\, my fourth career (IT\, potter\, Continuing Medical Education research). Simple Idea worked with corporate leaders to integrate human values and productivity in a constantly changing environment – engaging with teams and individuals to build relationships within the organization that nurture the humanity in everyone\, even as they work together to achieve audacious goals. \n\n\n\nIn 1990 a friend sent me a transcript of a talk given by David Bohm at MIT. In my organization development practice – focused on changing corporate cultures – group work was a built-in aspect of the process. Bohm’s dialogue experiment was thus enticing\, and I discovered a Bohmian dialogue group in the San Francisco Bay Area\, which I attended weekly for the next eight years. Stemming from that group\, Lee Nichol and I designed a nine-hour\, multi-day introduction to Bohm’s experiment at the first National Conference on Dialogue and Deliberation in Washington DC. I have since engaged in dialogue in many different contexts – most recently\, like many\, in online dialogues\, before and during the covid pandemic. \n\n\n\nEarly on in my dialogue work\, I received permission to transcribe the little pamphlet\, Dialogue: A Proposal (D. Bohm\, D. Factor\, and P. Garrett) and post it online via colleagues at MIT. It is still available\, in multiple “versions\,” some with several addenda/commentaries. \n\n\n\nRichard is a contributor to the forthcoming Holoflux:Codex – Form/Movement/Vision inspired by David Bohm (Pari Publishing) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna and her husband\, Don Factor\, were longtime friends and supporters of David Bohm and the process of dialogue he envisioned. Don had first met Bohm in the 1970s in London\, and the two continued their friendship from that time on. It was their early acquaintance that led to inviting Bohm to be interviewed by Don at the Human Unity Conference – a large gathering of people from many different spiritual traditions – held at Warwick University\, in March of 1983. Following the enthusiastic response to this interview\, Bohm was invited to present more of his thinking at a weekend conference held in Mickleton\, England. It was during the ensuing weekend that what is considered to have been the very first Bohmian dialogue occurred. The transcript of the weekend has been preserved by Don Factor in the book\, Unfolding Meaning. \n\n\n\nFollowing that weekend\, Anna and Don began offering their home for dialogues among those who had been so inspired by the initial dialogue idea\, and along with Peter and Jenny Garrett and David and Saral Bohm\, they organized public dialogues at many locations across western Europe\, Scandinavia\, and Israel during the late 1980s. Stemming from these early dialogues is the well-known publication by Bohm\, Don Factor and Peter Garrett\, “Dialogue\, A Proposal” which still is considered a cornerstone description of Bohm’s intention for dialogue. \n\n\n\nLooking back\, Anna remembers David Bohm:  “He was a dear man. He really was so very kind and had a lot of humanity. I found him – and still find him – an inspiration…a lovely\, lovely man.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSally Jeffery was introduced to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti while a young undergraduate in Sociology. Through involvement with his international school in England\, she met and was deeply impressed by David Bohm (a founding trustee of the school) and\, later\, his proposals for dialogue. Over three decades\, she has taken part in dialogue in many settings\, including prisons and her local (Lancaster) dialogue group. Involvement in two online dialogue groups began in 2018/19\, but since the pandemic and through the Lancaster group website\, others have been in contact\, expressing interest and wanting to start new ​online groups to explore David Bohm’s thinking in practice.  During this same period\, Sally was employed as a body work therapist\, including over 20 years working with people who’d had a cancer diagnosis\, along with their families. A leaning to such work might suggest she would take less readily to online dialogue\, missing the physical presence of the other participants. After initial hesitation\, this has proved not to be the case. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeth Macy\, PhD\, organizational consultant\, Bohmian dialogue practitioner \n\n\n\nThe common thread weaving through Beth’s career has been change\, having been a manager\, leader\, consultant or participant in organizations experiencing difficult issues:  organizations from small to large\, private to public\, non-profit to profit\, health care to oil and gas\, local to global. David Bohm’s dialogue has been core to her research\, writing\, consulting and teaching for nearly three decades. Living in the USA (Texas) she is completing a book on the ideas and individuals who influenced Bohm’s methodology of dialogue. \n\n\n\nBeth is a contributor the the forthcoming Holoflux:Codex – Form/Movement/Vision inspired by David Bohm (Pari Publishing). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol is a freelance writer and editor. His latest works are Entering Bohm’s Holoflux and\, as editor\, the forthcoming Holoflux:Codex – Form/Movment/Vision inspired by David Bohm (both from Pari Publishing). He was a long-time friend and collaborator of David Bohm\, and is editor of Bohm’s On Dialogue\, The Essential David Bohm\, and On Creativity. \n\n\n\nLee has been on the faculty of the Arthur Morgan School in Celo\, North Carolina; the Oak Grove School in Ojai\, California; the Tibetan Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, California; and Denver University in Denver\, Colorado. He sits on the Advisory Committee of the Pari Center\, the Advisory Council of the Indigenous Education Institute\, and is a member of the Founding Circle of the Native American Academy. Lee lives in Albuquerque\, New Mexico with his wife Eva Casey. \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.
