We will also be using accommodation just outside of the village—within 3 kilometres. If you are housed outside Pari\, a shuttle to and from the village will be provided. \n\n\n\nEvent: The event starts on Tuesday August 27 at 19:00 with a welcome dinner and ends on Tuesday September 3 after lunch. \n\n\n\nDownload information\, terms and conditions. \n\n\n\nAbout the Event \n\n\n\nScience has helped us to live with less suffering\, but has it helped us to understand life or accept death? It cannot do what spiritual traditions do. Ideally\, it should remain open to other ways of knowing and this meeting will look at what common ground might exist between them. Speakers from the sciences\, arts and the healing traditions will aim to create an open\, participatory dialogue on how we might understand the world as a unified whole.  \n\n\n\nOver the past four centuries or so we have come to know far more than we understand.  But although modern science has become the principal framework for human understanding\, it cannot do what spiritual traditions formerly did.  Science has helped us to live with less suffering\, but has it helped us to understand life or to accept death? \n\n\n\nIf science exclusively favours rational methodology over artistic expression or spiritual insight it can become restrictive\, leading to Blake’s “Single Vision”.  But at its best science remains open to other traditions and other ways of knowing.  Many scientists are firmly religious while deeply religious people usually find little difficulty in engaging with scientific findings. \n\n\n\nThis meeting will look at what common ground exists between different ways of knowing.  Perhaps that lies in the feeling that we need to understand the world as a unified whole and that inquiry can be open\, guided by imagination and by beauty.  Here\, the arts play a unique role\, leading the way to a deeper understanding of the place of human life\, and death\, within the cosmos.   \n\n\n\nIt will bring together speakers from the sciences\, arts\, faiths and the healing traditions to create an open dialogue and supportive experience in which all can participate.  We hope to touch on the relationship of science and religions\, especially as they touch on the reality of death\, the roles and status of women both now and in former times\, ritual\, music especially the voice and much more.  \n\n\n\nThis will be an informal meeting with presentations by experts followed by roundtable discussions. \n\n\n\nParticipating in an event at the Pari Center means not only meeting with scholars and experts but living for a week in a medieval village\, mingling with the tiny local population\, eating local dishes and drinking local wines\, appreciating the beauty of the surrounding countryside\, and participating in a very gentle way of life far from the frenzy of work and city living. David Peat compared Pari to an alchemical vessel—a place where transformation can come about—as well as an opportunity to pause for a moment and re-assess one’s life. It’s a unique opportunity open to everyone.  \n\n\n\nWe at the Pari Center seek to bring together world-renowned experts from a great range of disciplines\, approaches\, and sensibilities to meet together in person and deepen our insights on the workings and origin of human experience\, while also exploring creative and rigorous frameworks to integrate such wonderful mysteries hidden in plain sight into a coherent evolutionary understanding.
