SUMMARY:Flickering Reality: Persona: Masks that Conceal\, Masks that Reveal
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTfvfb_3G4c\n\n\n\n\n\nFlickering Reality: Exploring Ideas in Film and Television \n\n\n\nPersona: Masks that Conceal\, Masks that Reveal \n\n\n\nwith Kevin Lu \n\n\n\nSunday May 2\, 20219:00 am PDT  |  12:00 pm EDT  |  6:00 pm CEST \n\n\n\nA monthly get-together to examine the thought-provoking\, the philosophical\, and the ones that take risks. \n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will use three films as our springboard to exploring Jung’s notion of the persona:  Wall Street (1987)\, The Mask (1994) and The Farewell (2019).  While each film highlights the potentially pathological relationship one can have with one’s personas\, they also convey the important role played by this archetypal imperative in personality development. As with all archetypes\, the persona is bipolar in nature and entering into a more integral relationship with its various qualities and characteristics is central to the project of individuation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKevin Lu\, BA (Hons) (University of Toronto); MA (Heythrop College\, University of London); PhD (University of Essex)\, is a Senior Lecturer and Director of the MA Jungian and Post-Jungian Studies in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies\, University of Essex. He is a former member of the Executive Committee of the International Association for Jungian Studies and a member of Adjunct Faculty at Pacifica Graduate Institute.  Kevin’s publications include articles and chapters on Jung’s relationship to the discipline of history\, Arnold J. Toynbee’s use of analytical psychology\, critical assessments of the theory of cultural complexes\, sibling relationships in the Chinese/Vietnamese Diaspora\, racial hybridity\, and Jungian perspectives on graphic novels and their adaptation to film. \n\n\n\nThis series is free and open to everyone!\n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88085841173 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat do Films and Television say about our world? What ideas can be examined through the moving image? From Science Fiction\, to Comedy\, Drama and Documentaries\, the Seventh Art has been a mirror of our society\, from the stories they portray to the method in which they’ve been produced\, a mirror that is sometimes difficult to understand. \n\n\n\nThis monthly series will reveal the message behind different Films and TV Series\, exploring the themes through the lens of physics\, psychology\, philosophy and sociology. Each session will have a guest speaker who will analyse these themes\, which will then be discussed with our community\, and lead us to a better understanding of film and reveal the deeper truths of our world.

SUMMARY:Mindset - The Great Re-Think
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_N_1zQrG9M\n\n\n\n\n\nMindset \n\n\n\nSession 4 – The Great Re-Think \n\n\n\nwith Colin Tudge and special guest Ruby Reed \n\n\n\nSaturday April 243:00pm BST  |  4:00pm CEST \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, recordings will be available for any sessions you can not attend. \n\n\n\n‘Mindset’ is the sum of all the ideas\, preconceptions\, prejudices\, predilections and aversions in ‘the basement of our minds’ that we take for granted and rarely pull out for inspection—but inspection is at least salutary and indeed is necessary. The Great Re-Think discusses mindset under four headings: science\, morality\, metaphysics\, and the arts. Very briefly: \n\n\n\nScience is wonderful and necessary (of the right kind) but it can only ever be ‘the art of the soluble\,’ as Peter Medawar put the matter. Emphatically\, it is not the royal road to truth\, or the only game in town. Without dumbing down science should be seen and taught primarily as an aesthetic and spiritual pursuit—not as the means to control or indeed to ‘conquer’ nature but as an exercize in appreciation. Its role as a provider of high tech—some of which can help to achieve the goals of conviviality\, fulfilment\, and care of the Earth—is a definite bonus but not the raison d’etre. \n\n\n\nMorality should be an exercise not in utilitarian thinking as now\, but in virtue ethics\, as embraced by all the great religions. The bedrock principles are those of compassion\, humility\, and reverence for nature (underpinned by the concept of oneness and a sense of the sacred). \n\n\n\nMetaphysics asks what many have called ‘the ultimate questions’ which here are taken to be: What is the universe really like (is it just ‘stuf\,’ as materialist-atheists maintain\, or what)? What is the basis of goodness? How do we know what’s true? And\, How come? Science and standard western philosophy provide partial answers but metaphysics offers further insights—including the vital notion of transcendence and the sense of the sacred. Metaphysics is the core of all bona fide religions—and is very similar in all of them. \n\n\n\nThe Arts are the jokers in the pack. Follow the imagination and see where it leads. \n\n\n\nIn all this there are enough points for discussion to last a great many lifetimes—including ‘What\, in practice\, can we do?’  Colin has ideas on this—but what does everyone else think?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRuby Reed co-founded transformative education initiative Advaya in 2015\, bringing people together to explore links between ecology\, society and wellbeing. In 2019 she co-founded educational platform EcoResolution\, linking social movements with new audiences\, and in 2021 co-founded ecosystem restoration charity Initiative Earth. Ruby is a Trustee of Resurgence Trust\, Talks Curator for Medicine Festival\, and excited to be part of BeTheEarth Foundation’s flow-funding network. In 2018-2019 she supported Extinction Rebellion\, curating programmes at London protests and Rebel Retreats across the UK. Ruby previously worked with art collectors and has a MA in the Renaissance Body from Edinburgh and a MA in Countercultural Art in Latin America from the Courtauld. She is a Freediver and Yoga Therapist with eight years training in yoga\, pranayama & Ayurveda.

SUMMARY:The Practice of the I Ching
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E6Lad9o5wME\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Practice of the I Ching \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Sabbadini and Cruz Mañas Sabbadini \n\n\n\nSaturday March 2710:00am PDT  | 1:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET \n\n\n\nOnline Pari Dialogue \n\n\n\nThe practice of the I Ching oracle is a form of introspection bridging different dimensions\, unconscious and conscious\, imaginal and rational\, heart and mind. The wild images from a shamanic tradition three thousand years old are framed in the rigorous system of yin and yang. And the intuitive practice of ‘rolling the words in one’s heart’ is grounded in the exact discipline of handling the forty-nine yarrow stalks or the three coins and reading one’s answer in the book. \n\n\n\nIn this webinar we will explore the practice of consultation in detail\, answering\, as far as possible\, all the questions concerning this mysterious activity\, from the appropriate formulation of the question to the specific function of the various sections of a hexagram in the answer. \n\n\n\nThe webinar is addressed both to newcomers and to ‘old I Ching hands.’ Our main reference will be the Eranos I Ching\, translated by Rudolf Ritsema and Shantena Sabbadini\, but you are welcome to keep at hand your favourite I Ching and to compare passages. Often the ancient Chinese of the I Chingallows for multiple meanings. \n\n\n\nOn Saturday March 27\, Shantena and Cruz will open our monthly Community Call with a presentation and followed by discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\nTHIS EVENT IS FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE!\n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82002877500 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShantena Sabbadini graduated from the University of Milan in 1968 and was awarded his PhD in physics from the University of California in 1976. In Milan he researched the foundations of quantum physics\, laying the base for what is currently known as the decoherence interpretation of quantum physics. At the University of California\, he contributed to the theoretical work behind the first identification of a black hole\, the X-ray source Cygnus X-1. In the 1990s he was scientific consultant for the Eranos Foundation\, an East-West research center founded under the auspices of C.G. Jung in the 1930s. In that context he produced various translations and commentaries of Chinese classics in Italian and English\, including the Yijing and the trilogy of Daoist classics\, the Laozi\, the Zhuangzi and the Liezi. From 2002 onwards he collaborated with F. David Peat running the Pari Center for New Learning and in 2017 he succeeded his friend and colleague as director of the center. \n\n\n\nShantena leads workshops and courses on the philosophical implications of quantum physics\, on Daoism\, and on using the Yijing as a tool for introspection. His most recent book in English\, Pilgrimages to Emptiness: Rethinking Reality through Quantum Physics\, was published by Pari Publishing in 2017. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCruz Mañas Sabbadini\, is a clinical psychologist. She researched mental illness and gave treatment in jails. She works as a psychotherapist with a Jungian orientation and gives I Ching  seminars with Shantena Sabbadini. She founded El Cortijo de Gaia\, a deep psychology center in Lanjaron (Granada). She is author of the book Simplicidad Consciente and of a number of poetry books\, among which Todo lo Sabe la Tierra\, Mar de Fondo\, Noveno Planeta\, La Zarza Incandescente.

SUMMARY:The Trickster Inside and Out
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/4xP6AWt-93o?si=u45XuarfY1tu1jxt\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Trickster Inside and Out \n\n\n\nwith Allan Combs \n\n\n\nThe trickster is a shadow figure\, a dynamic archetype\, hidden in every human psyche. It arises uninvited as impulses that urge us to “play the devil” with our own rational side and behavior. But it can also manifest as a sense of playfulness\, when one becomes a clown in an otherwise “serious” situation. The trickster is projected in myths and stories of virtually every traditional culture\, from the Native American crow and coyote\, to the closely related Mexican/Aztec dancing Huehuecóyotl (or Ueuecoyotl)\, and on to the African spider trickster\, Anansi\, and Renard the trickster fox\, popular throughout Europe during the late Middle Ages; and includes great trickster gods such as the Chinese monkey king\, the Norse Loki\, and the Greek Hermes\, said to be the “friendliest of the gods to men.” \n\n\n\nThe trickster protects us as individuals\, and society as a whole\, form taking ourselves too seriously\, and from growing rigid and inflexible in our traditional ways. Often by the event of synchronicities that trip us up at first\, and make us stop and examine ourselves. If we are open to these seeming stumbling blocks\, we often discover them to be treasures in hiding; gifts from the trickster to enrich our lives. \n\n\n\nThis lesson will encourage each of us to explore our personal experiences of synchronicity\, share them with others\, and question how they reflect the work of the archetypal trickster\, often to our consternation at first\, but ultimately facilitating our own growth and transformation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAllan Combs is Professor of Consciousness Studies at the California Institute for Integral Studies. He is author or coauthor of over 200 publications on consciousness\, including Synchronicity: Science\, Myth\, and the Trickster; The Radiance of Being\, best-book award-winner of the Scientific and Medical Network; Consciousness Explained Better: An Integral Understanding of Consciousness; and Thomas Berry: Dreamer of the Earth.

SUMMARY:Synchronicity\, Mind and Matter
DESCRIPTION:Synchronicity\, Mind and Matter \n\n\n\nWith Allan Combs\, Roderick Main\, Mathew Mather\, Cruz Mañas Sabbadini\, Remo Roth\, Shantena Sabbadini\, Yuriko Sato\, Jean-François Vezina and special guest poet\, Richard Berengarten \n\n\n\n8 two-hour online sessions\, one every Saturday and Sunday \n\n\n\nFebruary 13 – March 7\, 20219:00 PST | 12:00 EST | 18:00 CET \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, recordings will be available for any sessions you can not attend. \n\n\n\nThe term ‘synchronicity’ was introduced by C.G. Jung to denote those experiences in which a coincidence of inner and outer events appears to be particularly significant\, transcending causal explanation and carrying a message that often has a remarkable\, sometimes numinous\, impact on the person experiencing it. \n\n\n\nWhen confronted with such experiences we are drawn to look at physical and psychic events as subtly interconnected\, perhaps even as manifestation of a common underlying reality. Such an intuition resonates with the findings of quantum physics\, in which the description of physical processes inevitably involves the notion of an observer\, and was the overarching theme of the correspondence Jung entertained with the Nobel prize winning physicist Wolfgang Pauli over a quarter of a century. \n\n\n\nIn this course we will focus on synchronicity as a gate to a deeper understanding of the relationship between mind and matter and as a guide to read the archetypal energy configurations we encounter in our daily life. This experiential approach to synchronicity will use the I Ching\, the ancient Chinese oracle\, as a tool for ‘inviting synchronicity’. \n\n\n\nWe are very fortunate to have poet Richard Berengarten as part of our Synchronicity series. Richard will be reading from two of his collections: Notness which includes a section of ten sonnets entitled ‘On Synchronicity\,’  and his ambitious Changing\,a homage to the I Ching.Richard will briefly introduce himself and his work and each session will begin with his reading from these two works. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday February 13: Synchronicity Questwith Remo Roth \n\n\n\nExperiencing synchronicities is the observation of spontaneous incarnation phenomena in our consciousness. \n\n\n\nBeginning with Jung’s Scarab Synchronicity\, I show the conscious preconditions for the experience of synchronicities. Or in other words: What change of our consciousness is necessary for the observation of a multiplication of synchronicities? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday February 14: Necessary Chances: Synchronicity in the Encounters that Transform Uswith Jean-François Vezina \n\n\n\nPeople often enter our lives in mysterious ways. We have all met ‘by accident’ a person who crossed our path and radically altered our trajectory and opened a new door that helped us to enter a new universe. What predisposes us to such meetings? Who are these Trickster’s messengers—not necessarily people\, as they can also take the forms of books or movies—that lead us to cross a new threshold? \n\n\n\nIn the light of the new sciences and cinema\, this presentation introduces more than 20 yeas of research trying to understand the fascinating question of synchronistic encounters. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday February 20: Numinous Matter: Synchronicity and the Reanimation of the Physical Worldwith Roderick Main \n\n\n\nIn this session we shall explore the implications of synchronicity for our experience of and relationship to the physical world.  The presumption of disenchanted science is that matter is in itself inherently inert and devoid of meaning.  Contrary to this\, with the concept of synchronicity as well as his use of alchemical symbolism\, Jung proposed that meaning and numinosity\, as expressions of the psychoid archetype\, could be inherent properties of not only the psyche but also matter.  Such a view arguably fosters a more participative and respectful\, rather than instrumental and exploitative\, relationship to the physical world.  We shall examine some of the experiences and underpinning philosophical assumptions that have been invoked in support of this view. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday February 21: Synchronicity: A Common Reality in Japanwith Yuriko Sato \n\n\n\nSince time immemorial\, before C.G. Jung named the phenomenon\, synchronicity has been perceived by people of various cultures. In the modern Western world view\, mind and matter are clearly separated. Synchronistic phenomena\, which cross the boundary between and connect these two distinct categories of reality\, are therefore intriguing. However\, in places where older world views have been retained in some way\, such as in Japan\, people seem to be less curious than Westerners about why and how synchronistic events happen; they seem to think of them more as natural occurrences—“just so” and “it happens.” I will approach synchronicity from these perspectives\, using the Japanese psyche as an example\, to explore its nature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday and Sunday February 27 – 28: I Ching and Synchronicity Workshopwith Shantena Sabbadini and Cruz Mañas Sabbadini \n\n\n\nThe intention of this workshop is to give you an experiential taste of reading events in a synchronistic perspective. Opening up to the experience of synchronicity is the essence of all divinatory practices. The divinatory practice we will explore in this workshop is the consultation of the I Ching\, the ancient Chinese Book of Changes. \n\n\n\nWe suggest to approach divination not as a way to predict the future\, but as a way to allow unconscious knowledge to emerge in order to illuminate a problematic situation or a specific question. \n\n\n\nDue to the constraint of meeting online rather than in person\, we ask you to do your I Ching consultation in advance of the workshop\, so that the workshop time can be fully devoted to the interpretation of the answers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday March 6: Tarot and Synchronicity: Reading the World as Symbol with Mathew Mather \n\n\n\nAfter a brief elaboration on the history of the Tarot and its use as a divinatory tool\, Mathew will relate a number of synchronistic experiences. Based on this he will describe how the Tarot can be used as a divinatory method allowing for an understanding and appreciation of the mytho-poetic language of the Anima Mundi\, the Soul of the World. In this space\, the possibility emerges of being initiated into a stitching together of the microcosm of our individual life myth within the macrocosm of the Anima Mundi. \n\n\n\nThe second part of the session will include an interactive Tarot workshop in which participants will be invited to respond in word and image to a ‘random’ selection of a card\, individually chosen\, from the major arcana. This will be followed by sharing in groups\, and then a final discussion. Note that a pack of Tarot cards will not be required. Please have a sheet of sketch paper and a few pens (art materials) available during the session. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday March 7: The Trickster Inside and Outwith Allan Combs \n\n\n\nThe trickster is a shadow figure\, a dynamic archetype\, hidden in every human psyche. It arises uninvited as impulses that urge us to “play the devil” with our own rational side and behavior. But it can also manifest as a sense of playfulness\, when one becomes a clown in an otherwise “serious” situation. The trickster is projected in myths and stories of virtually every traditional culture\, from the Native American crow and coyote\, to the closely related Mexican/Aztec dancing Huehuecóyotl (or Ueuecoyotl)\, and on to the African spider trickster\, Anansi\, and Renard the trickster fox\, popular throughout Europe during the late Middle Ages; and includes great trickster gods such as the Chinese monkey king\, the Norse Loki\, and the Greek Hermes\, said to be the “friendliest of the gods to men.” \n\n\n\nI show this with the help of some of my most important synchronicities\, which\, so to speak\, talked about how they work\, their mode of operation\, and in this way led me to the method I call today Synchronicity Quest. \n\n\n\nThe trickster protects us as individuals\, and society as a whole\, form taking ourselves too seriously\, and from growing rigid and inflexible in our traditional ways. Often by the event of synchronicities that trip us up at first\, and make us stop and examine ourselves. If we are open to these seeming stumbling blocks\, we often discover them to be treasures in hiding; gifts from the trickster to enrich our lives. \n\n\n\nThis lesson will encourage each of us to explore our personal experiences of synchronicity\, share them with others\, and question how they reflect the work of the archetypal trickster\, often to our consternation at first\, but ultimately facilitating our own growth and transformation.

SUMMARY:What Breakthroughs in Science Can We Reasonably Predict?
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/Aet1N1eskNI?si=hP3Q6RSTFM-JsfAI\n\n\n\n\n\nwith Olival Freire Jr. \n\n\n\nSaturday January 16\, 20219:00 PST  | 12:00 EST | 18:00 CET \n\n\n\nIt is much easier to talk about advances in the field of science in the past than to guess about its future. The case of Lord Kelvin’s 1900 statement concerning the two little clouds that still obscured the sky of physics\, and that would eventually be resolved into revolutionary theories—special relativity and quantum mechanics—is a well-known example of this. While risky\, guesses about the future of science are appealing. Indeed\, dramatic change is a recurrent theme in science studies as illustrated by Thomas Kuhn’s ideas on shifting paradigms in scientific revolutions as well as by several other authors who elaborated different views on the subject. Informed guesses about the future of science breakthroughs will be the subject of our conversation. \n\n\n\nThis online talk will be followed by questions and answers and discussion. \n\n\n\nThis event has a fee of €10\,00 a participant\, €9.00 for Friends of The Pari Center.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Olival Freire Jr.\, professor of physics and history of science \n\n\n\nOlival Freire Jr. is Professor of Physics and History of Physics at the Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Brazil. In Brazil\, he was trained in Physics (UFBA)\, he earned a PhD in History (USP) in 1995 and is fellow at the CNPq in History of Science. \n\n\n\nHe founded the Graduate Program in Science Teaching\, History and Philosophy of Science at UFBA\, in Brazil. He served as President of the Sociedade Brasileira de História da Ciência\, the Commission on the History of Physics at DHST and as a member of the council of History of Science Society. \n\n\n\nHe was researcher at the Dibner Institute for the History of Science\, MIT\, Harvard\, Université de Paris VII\, University of Maryland\, and Center for History of Physics at the American Institute of Physics. \n\n\n\nHe has published a number of articles in peer-reviewed journals as well as books and book chapters. He wrote The Quantum Dissidents—Rebuilding the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics 1950-1990\, Springer\, 2015\, and David Bohm—A Life Dedicated to Understanding the Quantum World\, Springer\, 2019.

Where is the “me”? Where does the “me” begin? Where does the “me” stop? Where does the “other” begin?’ In other words\, ‘What is I?’ When we dream at night\, is ‘I’ dreaming or being dreamed? Is it also ‘I’ who appears in someone else’s dream? In the Japanese language\, there are different words to express ‘I’ according to relationship and occasion. So\, what is ‘I’? \n\n\n\nOn Sunday November 8\, Yuriko will open our monthly Community Call with a short presentation on the fascinating topic of ‘What is I’? This will be followed by breakaway discussion groups with the community coming back together for comments and Q&A. \n\n\n\n This event is open to everyone!\n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85232321129 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYuriko Sato is a Japanese Jungian analyst and psychotherapist\, and a graduate of the C.G.

SUMMARY:David Bohm Dialogue: Is There a Different Way to Talk Together
DESCRIPTION:David Bohm Dialogue: Is There a Different Way to Talk Together \n\n\n\nSaturday\, October 31 – December 5\, 2020Six Saturday Sessions of 2 hours and 30 mins18:00 CEST  /  13:00 EST on October 31\,  thereafter 12:00 EST \n\n\n\nwith Sally Jeffery\, Manfred Kritzler\, Beth Macy\, Caroline Pawluk and David Schrum \n\n\n\nRegister early as this program has a limit of 16 participants. \n\n\n\n\nDialogue works at several levels. At the deepest level it is about the development and transformative power of the collective mind. At another it provides a ‘display’ of thought\, slowing down its movement and allowing its observation. It allows the expression of many alternative views on a particular topic\, some of which are presented in non-negotiable ways. Thanks to the group process these differences do not lead to confrontation but are held together in a creative tension. Rather than trying to resolve opposing positions through compromise\, it is possible to move to an ‘order between and beyond. \nDavid Bohm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Dialogue Program\n\n\n\nThis dialogue program is an invitation both to those new to dialogue and those who have participated previously. It is a journey together\, without leaders or followers. Registrants and convenors enquire as co-participants\, as we explore the movement of conscious mind and touch into what may lie beyond. \n\n\n\nEach week a presenter will offer a brief introduction to a dialogue theme. Group dialogues of about two hours will follow. All convenors will participate in each session. Through this series\, our weekly introductory focus will progress—beginning from (1) a general overview\, then moving to (2) self\, (3) the other\, (4) the group as a whole\, (5) silence and (6) the dialogic field. In practice\, however\, our intention is that every session may bring in all these aspects and that we explore without boundaries\, in freedom. \n\n\n\nTopics and presenters are listed below\, each followed by a quotation/quotations by David Bohm that touch on the week’s focus:  \n\n\n\nWeek 1 – Dialogue – A Journey Together – with David Schrum\n\n\n\nWhat is it to discover the roots of our common human consciousness? Through David Bohm’s approach to dialogue\, we will open an enquiry into this question as we begin our journey together. \n\n\n\n\nThe object of dialogue is not to analyze things\, or to win an argument\, or to exchange opinions. Rather\, it is to suspend your opinions and to look at the opinions—to listen to everyone’s opinions\, to suspend them\, and to see what all that means. \n\n\n\nI suggest that there is a potential for self-awareness of thought—that the concrete\, real process of the movement of thought could be self-aware\, without bringing in a “self” who is aware of it. \n\n\n\n\nWeek 2 – The Art of Listening – with David Schrum\n\n\n\nDeep listening is a transformative process for the listener. As we listen to both the voices of others and the voice within\, we enter into an exploration together. Through intimate listening consciousness flowers\, to reveal its inner structure. \n\n\n\n\nIf you see other people’s thought\, it becomes your own thought\, and you treat it as your own thought. And when an emotional charge comes up\, you share all the emotional charges\, too\, if they affect you; you hold them together with all the thoughts. \n\n\n\n\nWeek 3 – Suspension and Moving Together – with Manfred Kritzler\n\n\n\nThrough suspension of assessment and judgement\, whatever thoughts are arising in me have the same value as the thoughts of others.  This gives us the opportunity to move together beyond the limitation of thought. \n\n\n\n\nIf each of us in the room is suspending\, then we are all doing the same thing. We are looking at everything together. \n\n\n\nAccordingly\, a different kind of consciousness is possible among us\, a participatory consciousness….Everything can move between us. Each person is participating\, is partaking of the whole meaning of the group and also taking part in it. We can call that true dialogue. \n\n\n\nThe point of suspension is to help make proprioception possible\, to create a mirror so that you can see the results of your thought. You have it inside yourself because your body acts as a mirror and you can see tensions arising in the body. Also\, other people are a mirror\, the group is a mirror. \n\n\n\n\nWeek 4 – Facilitation – with Sally Jeffery\n\n\n\nThis process of dialogue\, as David Bohm proposes it\, is not easy. Perhaps there are ways to support its emergence. It begins with seeing the need for this kind of dialogue. \n\n\n\n\nOn the whole you could say that if you are defending your opinions\, you are not serious. Likewise\, if you are trying to avoid something unpleasant inside of yourself\, that is also not being serious. But in dialogue you have to be serious. It is not dialogue if you are not—not in the way I’m using the word. \n\n\n\n\nWeek 5 – Silence and Listening – with Caroline Pawluk\n\n\n\nThe beauty of silent listening is that we just watch and listen\, doing nothing about what we observe. \n\n\n\n\nBut in a participatory view\, the suggestion is that we have the unlimited as the ground of everything—that our true being is unlimited. \n\n\n\n\n\nSo we can see there is no “road” to truth. What we are trying to say is that in dialogue we share all the roads and we finally see that none of them matters. We see the meaning of all the roads\, and therefore we come to the “no road.” \n\n\n\n\nWeek 6 – Sensing the Field – with Beth Macy\n\n\n\nListening intently to the silence that is beyond our personal thought\, what seeks to emerge from that field of common consciousness?  What inklings of new meaning are arising? \n\n\n\n\nI am proposing\, however\, that the field of thought is limited. I am also suggesting that there is the “unlimited\,” which contains the limited. This “unlimited” is not just in the direction of going to greater and greater distances out to the end of the universe; but much more importantly\, it is also going into more and more subtlety. \n\n\n\n\nSALLY JEFFERY was introduced to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti while an undergraduate in Sociology. Through involvement with his school in England\, she met and was impressed by David Bohm (a founding trustee of the school) and became committed to his work with dialogue. Over more than three decades\, she has participated in dialogue in many settings including prisons and her local (Lancaster) dialogue group. \n\n\n\nMANFRED KRITZLER was born in Nürnberg\, Germany. He was a partner in a German tax consultant firm in Stuttgart and a member of an international group of chartered accountants. He specialized in international taxes and transferring firms to the next generation. Having left the partnership some years ago\, he is now a self-employed coach based mainly on David Bohm‘s holographic worldview. Manfred is presently in the process of creating a workshop with the title\, ‘Trust in the Unknown.’ \n\n\n\nBETH MACY has followed a career interwoven with a common thread—change. She has 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\nCAROLINE PAWLUK has been involved in a local dialogue group in Sudbury\, Canada over the past twenty years and in various international forums in the United States and Europe during the past eight years. She is presently engaged with four online dialogue groups. \n\n\n\nDAVID SCHRUM has been involved in dialogue for over thirty years. His experience includes dialogues extending across approaches that arise from David Bohm’s work\, Krishnamurti’s teachings\, Ojibway spiritual traditions\, and other forms.

SUMMARY:Entering Bohm's Holoflux
DESCRIPTION:Entering Bohm’s Holoflux \n\n\n\nFour Sundays in October  – 4\, 11\, 18\, 25  – 202010:00 am PST\, 7:00 pm CEST \n\n\n\nEach Sunday session will be followed by a one-hour Wednesday discussion group11:00 am PST\, 8:00 pm CEST. \n\n\n\nAn experiential\, experimental approach to David Bohm’s holoflux: the flowing movement of all that is\, the ground of our being\, the mysterious domain in which mind\, matter\, and meaning are an organic whole. \n\n\n\nBohm proposed that human beings hold the potential to manifest the holoflux as living reality. What access points might we already have to this potential? What aspects of our personal and cultural lives thwart this access? Through presentation and extensive participant interaction\, these questions will guide our inquiry. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSunday October 4:  The Enfolding/Unfolding HumanOur contemporary identity—the self-image—follows a pattern of ‘enfolding’ and ‘unfolding’ that we find articulated throughout Bohm’s cosmos. But this self-image filters out the deep\, living currents of the holoflux\, in favour of enfolding recycled thought patterns\, values\, and images. Bohm often referred to the bright lights of Las Vegas\, which blot out the light of the stars: ‘When you turn off the electric lights\, then the universe comes through.’ Can we move through this analogy\, and into the living cosmos it points to? This holds the key to what Bohm referred to as true individuality—the undivided human. \n\n\n\nSunday October 11: Thought as a System & the Pain BodyWe will examine the manner in which awareness\, thinking\, and feeling deteriorate into ‘thoughting’ and ‘felting.’ This process permeates our individual lives\, as well as collective global culture\, and is at the root of reflexive defensiveness and isolation. The result is what has been called the ‘pain body\,’ a uniquely apt term for our modern condition. We will inquire into the various manifestations of the pain body\, and how this blockage to the deep currents of the holoflux might be undone. We will explore how interoception—our interpretation of the sensations within our bodies—can help us understand the grip and extent of the thoughting/felting vortex. \n\n\n\nSunday October 18: Liberating the Explicate Order & and the Prospect of DialogueIf we can release somewhat the impulses of thoughting\, felting\, and the pain body\, we can begin to sense untapped aspects of consciousness that are innately in motion\, rather than fixed and rigid. As inner rigidities dissolve\, this is reflected in the ‘outer’ world. It is this affinity for movement that allows us to sense and engage in a new way with the explicate order—the world of cars\, rivers\, people\, stars. Such ‘liberating’ of the explicate order is central to deep engagement in dialogue—when multiple participants allow the flux and flow of assumptions and presuppositions\, we find the seeds of a new level of participatory consciousness. \n\n\n\nSunday October 25: Flux & TransformationFor 40\,000 years or more\, indigenous people have been attuned to what David Bohm referred to as the holoflux\, and its attendant implicate orders. Our guest Leroy Little Bear (Blackfoot) will discuss how these perceptions relate to the fixities and rigidities of the modern world. Can our categories of ‘reality’ become fluid? More deeply\, can fluid\, evolving categories—our framings of reality—help us align with the movements of the holoflux? Is such activity itself the expression of the holoflux\, manifesting in human beings? Are we willing to entertain the prospect of perpetual transformations? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol\, Bohm collaborator\, editor\, educator \n\n\n\nLee Nichol is the editor of David Bohm’s On Dialogue; On Creativity; and The Essential David Bohm. From 1980-1992 he collaborated with Bohm on various aspects of dialogue\, consciousness\, and education. \n\n\n\nHe has been on the faculty of the Arthur Morgan School in Celo\, NC; of the Oak Grove School in Ojai\, CA; of the Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, CA; and of Denver University in Denver\, CO.

SUMMARY:Online Pari Community Conversations: Presencing with Julie Arts
DESCRIPTION:Online Pari Community Conversations: Presencing  \n\n\n\nwith Julie Arts \n\n\n\nSaturday June 27 at 16:00 (CEST) \n\n\n\nPresencing (blending Presence and Sensing) is the capacity to operate from the source of one’s highest future possibility\, in the Now – an intentional realisation of the present through active dialogue with the emerging future. \n\n\n\nJulie Arts\, from the Presencing Institute\, will share elements of Theory U\, a framework for profound innovation developed to allow individuals\, organizations and communities to address their most pressing challenges. \n\n\n\nTheory U\, as an awareness-based method for transformation\, is inspired by the wisdom and experience of many scientists\, artists and spiritual lineages\, including David Bohm\, Francisco Varela\, Henri Bortoft\, and others. \n\n\n\nThe Practice is both highly systemic and deeply personal – most essential is the individual and collective capacity for deep listening\, generative dialogue and sensemaking\, as we learn to allow the future to emerge through us. As Martin Buber put it\, “the future stands in need of you in order to be born”. Or as David Bohm said: “The whole is present in the parts; separation without separateness.” \n\n\n\nThe Presencing Institute was founded in 2006 by MIT Sloan School of Management Senior Lecturer Dr C. Otto Scharmer and colleagues\, to create an action research platform at the intersection of science\, consciousness\, and profound social and systems change. \n\n\n\nThis online presentation will be followed by discussion and Q&A. \n\n\n\n This event is open to everyone! \n\n\n\nJoin our Zoom meeting via the following link:    https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83050092250 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate\, have any questions or need any help just contact Eleanor Peat: eleanor@paricenter.com

SUMMARY:Pari Dialogue: The Great Re-Think with Colin Tudge
DESCRIPTION:The Agrarian Renaissance \n\n\n\nZoom Online Dialogue: June 6\, 2020 at 16:00 – 17:30 (CEST) \n\n\n\nAlthough 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. \n\n\n\nSo what’s entailed? And how do we go about it? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nColin Tudge is co-founder of the Oxford Real Farming Conference\, the Real Farming Trust\, and the College for Real Farming and Food Culture. \n\n\n\nHe has just finished a book\, The Great Re-think\, to summarize the ideas needed to bring about an Agrarian Renaissance as a key step in the development of the grand Renaissance that is now needed to restore the world. The Great Re-think will be published by Pari Publishing asap. \n\n\n\nThis online talk will be followed by questions and answers and discussion.

SUMMARY:Pari Dialogue: What is Reality Really Like? with Shantena Sabbadini
DESCRIPTION:Zoom Online Dialogue: May 9\, 2020 at 16:00 – 17:30 Central European Summer Time (GMT+2) \n\n\n\nWe ordinarily assume that we know what is real. I assume the computer I am typing these words on is a real solid object here in front of me\, set on a real wooden table\, which has been with me for many years. They both seem real enough. \n\n\n\nAnd yet\, are they? Physics gives me quite a different picture: these apparently solid objects are actually the interplay of infinitely extended fields\, and my experience of them is actually the flickering of neuron connections in my brain. But we don’t see things that way. Fortunately\, because it would be a very confusing world if we did. \n\n\n\nWhat then determines what we perceive as real? Is there an ultimate reality? In this webinar we shall play with such radical questions. \n\n\n\nThis online talk will be followed by questions and answers and discussion. \n\n\n\nThis event has a fee of €15\,00 a participant.

DESCRIPTION:Online Pari Community Conservation about Gentle Action \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Sabbadini\, Godelieve Spaas and Donna Kennedy-Glans \n\n\n\nSaturday April 18\, 202016:00 Central European Standard Time (GMT +2) \n\n\n\nWhat our planet requires are not violent revolutions\, or vast government programs imposed from above but a new action that is sensitive and highly intelligent. This action must grow out of our sense of harmony and relationship to nature and each other. It has its source in very gentle but coordinated activity that sweeps inwards and outwards so that the whole system is able to produce it own healing. Each of us is empowered to face the problems that challenge the planet and\, by developing a greater sensitivity and a more meaningful relationship to the whole of life\, this ability to heal ourselves and our planet will echo around the world just like those tiny ripples in a lake that grow into a giant wave. If there is to be hope for the future then it must begin with the creativity and sensitivity of each one of us. \n\n\n\nF. David Peat \n\n\n\nWe invite you to share your personal stories and reflections in an online dialogue with the Pari Center Community. \n\n\n\nJoin our zoom meeting via the following link: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/917407312 \n\n\n\nIf you would like to participate or have any questions please contact Eleanor Peat eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\nSuggested Reading \n\n\n\nGentle Action for a Harmonious World by F. David Peat \n\n\n\nPreserving Dignity in Uncertain Times by Donna Kennedy-Glans \n\n\n\nThis year\, for the first time in our 20-year history\, none of us may be able to meet in person.  Yet the need for community\, for human interaction\, to check in with and support others in a similar situation is very strongly felt. Three weeks ago\, we held our first Zoom dialogue on the topic of ‘Certainty and Uncertainty.’ It was an opportunity for the Pari Center community to come together to discuss an important subject in these troubling times. We were a group of 56 participants\, re-connecting many old friends and welcoming a number of new faces. The feedback we received indicated that the gathering was a great success\, one that people would like to see repeated. \n\n\n\nAs a result we have decided to launch a monthly Online Pari Community Conversation which will feature a few opening words on a pre-announced topic followed by small group discussions. We will then come together to share some of the issues that emerged in the breakaway groups and end with a summing-up. These will be free and open to anyone.

SUMMARY:Weekend Among Friends: Small changes making big differences
DESCRIPTION:A Tribute to the Other and Elsewhere\nWe are bound by the way we live and trying to change that world is difficult. It might be interesting to just try to understand how other groups organize and denote their world.It is not about knowledge.A conversation between F. David Peat and Godelieve Spaas\, 2016 \n\n\n\nHow often do we feel ourselves in a situation of not being understood or not being seen by the other? Equally so\, we can ask ourselves how often are we able to really understand and acknowledge the other? As a dancer\, scientist and entrepreneur I experience the synergy between different aspects in myself. At the same time\, even after years of practice\, I often fail in transferring experiences and knowledge from one of these domains to the other in my day to day work. \nMaking a career as a woman required being adaptive to a mainly masculine company culture. I learned how to be the other.Working in South Afrika confronted me with views and wisdom so different from mine that I had to learn to listen with my heart and soul just because my mind couldn’t understand. \nWe all have developed our own ways of meeting\, understanding and becoming with the other and elsewhere. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf we have a wider range of ideas\, knowledge and expressions to tap into\, we would probably be better equipped for developing a way of living that contributes to the wellbeing of everyone in harmony with our Earth. To evolve towards a world that does justice to all people\, communities\, cultures and ecosystems\, we need to reach out to\, relate and become with the other and other places. Can we find ways to cooperate with the earth\, with wisdom rooted in other worldviews then ours and with ideas born and nurtured in other communities\, disciplines\, cultures and places? \nThis year’s Weekend Among Friends will explore meeting the other and elsewhere. How can we enlarge our space to make our thinking\, doing and imagining more transformative? \n\n\n\nTo be in love is to be worldly\, to be in connection with significant otherness and signifying others\, on many scales\, in layers of locals and globals\, in ramifying webs.Donna Haraway \n\n\n\nAs friends meeting in Pari we will explore our different ways of understanding the other and elsewhere. How do we move beyond our prejudices? What are our ways to stay with the trouble of bridging differences and weaving new entrepreneurial or communal fabrics out of diversity? By sharing our experiences\, stories and curiosity we will use the diversity among friends to explore untrodden pathways to a more sustainable and just future. \nOur special guest this year is Annet Henneman who travels through conflict areas in the Middle East and lives with the people in these areas over extended periods of time. Based on these highly personal meetings she creates performances as a way to bring the lives of those who live in oppression\, war\, and occupation closer to the ‘Western countries’. \nWe would like to invite you to the beautiful little village of Pari\, Italy\, April 25-28\, 2019\, to join us for the weekend and to meet with old and new friends. The landscape and community\, the Pari Center and Pari Networks all represent a container in which one feels invited to have good conversations and to enjoy the company of our Pari friends\, the excellent Italian food and wine\, and of course the Tuscan sun and culture. \nWith love\, Godelieve Spaas \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\neleanor@parinetworks.org                             godelieve@creatingchange.nl \nWeekend Among Friends is an initiative of \n                       \nIDEAS BEHIND WEEKEND AMONG FRIENDS \nPari\, its community and the Pari Center have a special place in my heart. The landscape and the community represent a sphere in which I feel invited to explore art\, literature\, science\, indigenous knowledge\, culture\, music and poetry as means to denote\, understand\, reflect and renew ourselves and the world we are part of. At the same time the village serves as a place to come to rest\, to listen to the silence\, to nature and to celebrate a holiday. \nWeekend Among Friends was born out of my longing to share this experience with friends. The weekend has become an annual event at the cross over of the good life and good conversations in a beautiful and wise environment. Dialogues pay a tribute to an idea or people that might generate reflection and renewal on personal and community level. \nThe overarching idea: small changes making big differences towards a social\, economic and ecological just future. Thinking doing and imagining are equally important. Participants are the co-creators of the weekend. Their wisdom\, experiences and expressions form the base of our exploration\, rethinking and creation. \nI introduce the theme of the year and from there the group as whole takes it further. No specified program\, just joint dedication to explore what can become. A special guest brings in another perspective to invite other lines of thoughts to the table.The weekend unfolds along dialogues\, joint meals\, hikes\, music\, dance meditation\, making/experiencing art and other means of exchange as they appear\, depending on who the participants are and what they share.

SUMMARY:Pilgrimages to Emptiness: Rethinking Reality through Quantum Physics
DESCRIPTION:Pilgrimages to Emptiness: Rethinking Reality through Quantum Physics \n\n\n\n4 – 8 October\, 2018 \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Sabbadini \n\n\n\nThis seminar is an invitation to wonder and be grateful for the adventure of life and for the mystery of which we are part. We and the world are expressions of the same creativity of existence\, waves in the ocean of consciousness. Embracing our oceanic nature is the way to find peace on an individual and a collective level.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Mystery of Time
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the Mystery of Time \n\n\n\nSeptember 6 – 12\, 2018 \n\n\n\nwith Julian Barbour\, Mauro Bergonzi\, Warwick Fox\, Christopher Hauke\, Alison MacLeod\, James Peat Barbieri\, Hester Reeve\, Shantena Sabbadini\, David Schrum and Gordon Shippey \n\n\n\nWhat is time? It is at the same time what is closest to us and the deepest mystery. So close we cannot step outside it and watch it from a distance. And actually\, when we attempt to do so\, the notion of time itself seems to fade away\, to dissolve into timelessness\, where past\, present and future merge into an eternal instant. \n\n\n\nIn this Pari Dialogue we will plumb the mystery of time from different perspectives: art\, science\, psychology\, literature\, mystical experience. Our aim will not be so much to try to answer the impossible question\, as to awaken to the awesome fact of the transient\, terrible\, marvelous\, phenomenon that is life itself.

SUMMARY:Exploring Synchronicity: Jung\, Pauli and the I Ching
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Synchronicity: Jung\, Pauli and the I Ching \n\n\n\nJune 12 – 16\, 2018 \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Augusto Sabbadini and Cruz Manas Sabbadini \n\n\n\nThe term “synchronicity” was coined by Jung and refers to those meaningful coincidences in which outer circumstances reflect in surprising ways the inner process of the person involved\, sometimes with life transforming implications. \n\n\n\nIn this seminar we will investigate synchronicity both  as an interpretative principle and as a psychological experience through the actual consultation of the oracle. We will use the Eranos I Ching\, an innovative translation by the sinologist Rudolf Ritsema and Shantena Augusto Sabbadini\, the fruit of fifty years of research by Ritsema and a decade of Round Table Sessions at the Eranos East-West study centre\, which was founded under Jung’s supervision in 1933.

SUMMARY:Mind\, Matter and Cosmos
DESCRIPTION:Ancient and primitive cultures conceived the whole cosmos as alive and sentient. In the West\, the mainstream approach of our contemporary culture has shifted from this way of being towards an ever-greater separation of matter and mind. Today’s dominant scientific world-view is based on an essentially materialistic representation of reality. But paradoxically\, as we have gone deeper into the exploration\, the concept of abstract matter itself has in some sense vanished\, leaving us with a universe of possibilities rather than one of solid independent objects. \n\n\n\nThis course will examine how we are now moving in this fluid context\, rethinking the ways in which we represent reality and recovering a sense of oneness with other human beings and all life forms. We will use physics as an instrument of wonder\, a way to contact the mystery of our existence as conscious beings in this vast universe. We will explore our place in the universe both in terms of modern cosmology and ancient sacred geometry\, visiting some living traces of this in the monasteries of the region of Siena and the Maremma. We will also refer to Bach’s music as a key to participating in the cycles of the cosmos\, and the harmony of the spheres. \n\n\n\nFinally we will explore how this way of sensing our place in the world is reflected in the wisdom classics of the East\, particularly in Lao Tzu’s Tao Te Ching. We will find that the language of those ancient texts sometimes comes closer to expressing the subtle nature of quantum reality than that of our own contemporary scientific jargon.

SUMMARY:Weekend Among Friends in Tuscany: A Tribute to Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:How can organizations and individuals transform themselves so that they can become as subtle\, sensitive\, intelligent and fast-responding as the world around them? (David Peat\, 2010) \n\n\n\nWe are all familiar with setting goals and making action plans to realize them. We plan to move\, to find a new job\, to do better in our friendships or to quit our bad habits. Organisations also strive to implement certainty by setting and evaluating objectives to score success. We are accustomed to circles of planning and control and almost naturally analyse causes of failure and success to predict how to do better next time. \n\n\n\nWe all know life is not that linear\, not that singular\, nor that predictable. Life is subtle\, sensitive and dynamic. We are related to each other and our environment in many ways. We are interdependent beings\, communities\, and organisations in an interconnected world. To adequately respond to the economic\, ecological\, social and personal trouble we face in the world around us\, we need to understand and act upon its intertwined\, co-creative and manifold nature. This Weekend Among Friends\, we pay a tribute to uncertainty\, as a basic tenet that might open pathways of organizing that are intelligent\, responsible and contributing to nature\, people and purpose.
