• Science, Art and the Sacred: The Quest for Wholeness

    Pari, Italy

    with Isis Brook, Basil Hiley, Ciprian Man, Hester Reeve, Shantena Augusto Sabbadini, David Schrum, Godelieve Spaas and Christopher Todhunter and the Screening of Absurdity of Certainty, directed by Jena Axelrod, feat. F. David Peat

    How can we bring about a future that respects the Earth and that nurtures the wellbeing of all?

    The Pari Dialogue of 2019 considers this challenge. Through seminars, exploratory discussions and practical sessions, we will examine humanity’s current situation and explore key factors for the co-creation of a future that respects our planet and benefits all. Together with leaders in key areas—physics, economics, the arts, cultural studies, ecology—we invite participants to envision an emerging holistic future.

    Join us as we follow in a spirit that honours these attitudes and the work of David Bohm and F. David Peat, as we explore together pathways to a holistic future.

  • Pari Dialogue: The Great Re-Think with Colin Tudge

    Online

    Although the world is in a terrible state on every front—Covid-19 is just the surface of our problem—there is still time to turn things around. Indeed we and our fellow creatures could and should be looking forward to a long and glorious future—the next million years for starters. To achieve this though we need to re-think everything that we do and take for granted—and to re-think everything in the light of everything else to provide a coherent, ‘holistic’ worldview, and to re-structure accordingly. It all amounts to nothing less than a Renaissance, more profound and far-reaching than the European Renaissance of the 14th-17th centuries. But the present ruling powers—governments, corporates, financiers, and their chosen intellectual advisers—are geared to the status quo and are not going to do what’s needed. So we, people at large, Ordinary Joes and Jos, must take the lead.

  • Infinite Potential: The Life and Ideas of David Bohm – Exclusive Screening of Director’s Cut

    Online

    David Bohm was one of the 20th Century’s most brilliant physicists. INFINITE POTENTIAL takes us on a mystical and scientific journey into the nature of life and reality with David Bohm, the man Einstein called his ‘spiritual son’ and the Dalai Lama his ‘science guru.’ A physicist and explorer of Consciousness, Bohm turned to Eastern wisdom to develop groundbreaking insights into the profound interconnectedness of the Universe and our place within it.

    The Director’s Cut will feature exclusive interviews with luminaries such as H.H. the Dalai Lama, Basil Hiley, Sir Anthony Gormley, Sir Roger Penrose, Yakir Aharnov and Leroy Little Bear among others. This version will feature in-depth explorations of David Bohm’s ideas and philosophy, with original animations curated by physicist Chris Dewdney.

  • Infinite Potential: Exploring the Life and Work of David Bohm – Summer Series

    Infinite Potential– Summer Series
    Online

    This summer we are offering a unique opportunity to take part in an exploration of Bohm’s life and ideas. Join us online for a series of presentations by former colleagues of David Bohm and scholars of his work. Each session will allow time for audience participation in the form of dialogue, discussion and Q&A.

    The presenters, many of whom were interviewed in the Infinite Potential documentary, will examine the many facets of Bohm’s life and work—physics, philosophy, wholeness, implicate and explicate orders, holomovement, consciousness, dialogue, language and the rheomode, interaction with the Blackfoot, his relationship and dialogues with J. Krisnamurti.

  • David Bohm in the 1940s: Science, Scientific Style and Political Engagement

    Infinite Potential– Summer Series
    Online

    When David Bohm arrived in California in the early 1940s for graduate studies he had already consolidated two intellectual trends which would characterize his whole life. He knew what kind of physics he enjoyed working on; while he was attracted to theoretical physics and had exhibited skills in mathematics, he had no patience for the solving problem style of physics he had found at Caltech. Instead he looked for speculative and conceptual science. Bohm, however, was not only concerned with science, for him science was part of a larger picture involving society as a whole.

  • Quantum Trajectories and the Nature of Wholeness in David Bohm’s Quantum Theory

    Infinite Potential– Summer Series
    Online

    Chris Dewdney will review a selection of the animations that he originated during the period from 1979, when the Two-Slit calculations were first published, up to the more recent field-matter interaction examples. The animations will be shown (many in the updated form seen in the documentary Infinite Potential) during his talk and he will explain in a non-technical way, how they were produced and exactly what they show. For each animation, the implications for our understanding of quantum mechanics and the nature of reality will be drawn out.
