SUMMARY:Recovering the Sacred
DESCRIPTION:Recovering the Sacred \n\n\n\nwith Anne Baring\, Bernard Carr\, Matthijs Cornelissen\, Alex Gomez-Marin\, Jeremy Lent\, David Lorimer\, Iain McGilchrist\, Peter Reason\, Mary-Jayne Rust \n\n\n\nCurated by John Pickering \n\n\n\nPari Center Online Series \n\n\n\nNovember 5 – 27\, 20229:00am PST | 12:00pm EST | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n8-two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live; recordings will be available for any sessions you are unable to attend. \n\n\n\nWe are living in a time of anxiety and uncertainty. As more environmental damage is done\, the means to repair it seems to be getting less. It is increasingly difficult to know what to trust in politics and the media. Spiritual traditions survive\, but the authority they once had has passed to science and so it might seem that the idea of ‘The Sacred’ has disappeared. \n\n\n\nBut as science reveals more and more about the place of the earth in the cosmos there is a growing awareness of how precious our living world is and of how inter-dependent we are with it. Perhaps this is not only a scientific discovery but also the re-appearance of the sacred in a form fit for our times. \n\n\n\nHow the living world came to be and how it persists is the business of the sciences.  How cultures appear and develop is the business of the humanities. Powerful though those styles of inquiry are\, they offer little comfort to those anxious about the destructive direction in which our globalised culture is going. What appears to be missing is some way of restoring our sense of spiritual interdependence with the living world. \n\n\n\nThis series of talks is an opportunity to hear from people concerned with these ideas and to participate in a dialogue on how they might help us to keep hope alive and decide what to do for the best in our challenging times. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday November 5Recovering the Soulwith Iain McGilchrist \n\n\n\nSunday November 6The Sacred and the Evolution of Consciousnesswith Matthijs Cornelissen \n\n\n\nSaturday November 12Finding our Way Home to Nature as Sacredwith Mary-Jayne Rust \n\n\n\nSunday November 13The Sacred as Immanent in a Sentient Worldwith Peter Reason \n\n\n\nSaturday November 19Towards a Transmaterialist Science of the Sacredwith Bernard Carr and Alex Gomez-Marin \n\n\n\nSunday November 20The Loss and Recovery of the Sacredwith Anne Baring \n\n\n\nSaturday November 26Recovering a Sense of the Sacred – an Evolutionary Imperativewith David Lorimer \n\n\n\nSunday November 27Weaving a Web of Meaning: How Recognizing Our Deep Interrelatedness Lays a Path to Sustainable Flourishingwith Jeremy Lent

SUMMARY:Recovering the Soul
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/l-PrCIprgIU?si=DghmvkkPB9wBuNAS\n\n\n\n\n\nRecovering the Soul \n\n\n\nwith Iain McGilchrist \n\n\n\nSaturday November 5\, 202210:00am PDT | 1:00pm EDT | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nThe topic of the sacred is immense\, as I confirmed to myself when I wrote a very long chapter on it in The Matter with Things. I have chosen to approach it here by directing our attention\, as it might seem at first\, to one side: on the soul. I will argue that the sacred exists not simply in this or that thing—an object\, a place\, or an act—but in the relationship between whatever it is beyond ourselves that we recognise as sacred and that part of our being that has been traditionally referred to as the soul; that this relationship is one of the reasons for evolved beings such as ourselves to have come into existence; that whatever else it may be\, the soul is a faculty\, like intellect or eyesight\, but much more than\, and more important than\, either; and that our sense of the sacred is both driven by\, and in turn drives\, the actively receptive attention paid by the soul. I suggest that the soul is in process\, and that it is one task of our lives to grow the soul—an important task\, because much depends on it: we can\, like attentive or neglectful gardeners\, nourish\, stunt the growth of\, or extinguish\, that soul. I suggest that therefore we need first to attend to our souls if we are to recover the sacred\, and I make a few exploratory forays into what we can (and cannot) say about the soul\, and how it might be integrated into a new cosmology. \n\n\n\nTo see the Full Recovering the Sacred Program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Iain McGilchrist is a Quondam Fellow of All Souls College\, Oxford\, an Associate Fellow of Green Templeton College\, Oxford\, a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists\, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts\, and former Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Director at the Bethlem Royal & Maudsley Hospital\, London.  He has been a Research Fellow in neuroimaging at Johns Hopkins Hospital\, Baltimore and a Fellow of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Stellenbosch.  He has published original articles and research papers in a wide range of publications on topics in literature\, philosophy\, medicine and psychiatry.  He is the author of a number of books\, but is best-known for The Master and his Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World (Yale 2009).  A book on neuroscience\, epistemology and ontology called The Matter with Things: Our Brains\, Our Delusions and the Unmaking of the World\, was published in November 2021.
