SUMMARY:Recovering Coherency in Politics and Society through Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecovering Coherency in Politics and Society through Dialogue \n\n\n\nwith Glenn Parry  \n\n\n\nAugust 2 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session \n\n\n\nThe main reason we are divided in politics is not only polarization between parties\, or fragmentation within the parties\, but because of how we think. We tend to think in partial fragments\, not in contextual wholes. David Bohm was keenly aware of this. Bohm was also aware that this lack of coherency was not necessarily the case in Indigenous cultures that have a history of shared meaning and participatory consciousness. In the USA\, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy had a profound effect on the very idea to unite the states and also on the foundational values of liberty\, equality\, and natural rights enshrined in the US Constitution—and then on the unwritten rules of engagement that govern political protocols. The latter influence arguably was what prevented the country from lapsing into fascism\, at least until now. Sadly\, authoritarian governments are now on the rise across the globe. In honor of David Bohm’s far-reaching vision\, how do we begin to restore coherency in government and society? How do we make America and the world sacred again? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlenn Aparicio Parry\, PhD\, of Basque\, Aragon Spanish\, and Jewish descent\, is the author of Original Politics: Making America Sacred Again (SelectBooks\, 2020) and Original Thinking: A Radical Revisioning of Time\, Humanity\, and Nature (North Atlantic Press\, 2015). Parry is an educator\, ecopsychologist\, and political philosopher whose passion is to reform thinking and education into a coherent\, cohesive whole. The founder and past president of the SEED Institute\, Parry is currently the president of the think tank: Circle for Original Thinking. Parry organized and participated in the groundbreaking Language of Spirit Conferences from 1999 – 2011 that brought together Native and Western scientists in dialogue\, moderated by Leroy Little Bear. He has appeared in several documentary films\, including Journey to Turtle Island\, a biographic piece exploring David Peat’s life and participation in the dialogue circles by Spanish filmmaker Miryam Servet. Parry is a  member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Theosophical Society as part of a life-long interest in bridging the arts and sciences. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:The Blackfoot Worldview\, Language and David Bohm
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/3C89Rjm6p6Y?si=Nb9JU5Mzx-uzdSrq\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Blackfoot Worldview\, Language and David Bohm \n\n\n\nwith Leroy Little Bear \n\n\n\nSaturday August 19:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  |  6:00pm CEST  for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeroy Little Bear\, PhD. Blackfoot Native—Professor Emeritus University of Lethbridge\, Canada. \n\n\n\nLeroy Little Bear was born and raised on the Blood Indian Reserve (Kainai First Nation)\, approximately 70 km west of Lethbridge\, Alberta. One of the first Native students to complete a program of study at the University of Lethbridge\, Little Bear graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1971. He continued his education at the College of Law\, University of Utah\, in Salt Lake City\, completing a Juris Doctor Degree in 1975. \n\n\n\nFollowing his graduation\, Little Bear returned to his alma mater as a founding member of Canada’s first Native American Studies Department. He remained at the University of Lethbridge as a researcher\, faculty member and department chair until his official retirement in 1997. \n\n\n\nIn recent years Little Bear has continued his influential work as an advocate for First Nations education. From January 1998 to June 1999 he served as Director of the Harvard University Native American Program. Upon his return to Canada\, he was instrumental in the creation of a Bachelor of Management in First Nations Governance at the University of Lethbridge—the only program of its kind in the country. \n\n\n\nIn the spring of 2003\, Little Bear was awarded the prestigious National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Education\, the highest honour bestowed by Canada’s First Nations community. Little Bear is the recipient of honorary doctorates from the University of Lethbridge and the University of Northern British Columbia. Along with his wife\, Amethyst First Rider\, Little Bear brought about the historic Buffalo Treaty between First Nations on both sides of the USA-Canada border in 2014. Little Bear was inducted into the Alberta Order Excellence and the Order of Canada in 2016 and 2019 respectively. \n\n\n\nAfter a lifetime of educational service\, Little Bear remains a dedicated and dynamic teacher and mentor to students and faculty at the University of Lethbridge. He continues to pursue new research interests including North American Indian science and Western physics\, and the exploration of Blackfoot knowledge through songs\, stories and landscape. \n\n\n\nWhile his educational achievements are remarkable\, Little Bear’s contribution to the First Nations community extends well beyond the classroom. He has served as a consultant to local and national organizations including the Blood Tribe\, Indian Association of Alberta and the Assembly of First Nations of Canada. His notable reputation has also earned him a place on numerous government commissions and boards including the Task Force on the Criminal Justice and Its Impact on the Indian and Metis Peoples of Alberta (1990-91). Little Bear’s legal advice is widely sought on such significant issues as land claims\, treaties\, and hunting and fishing rights. \n\n\n\nDr Little Bear is the co-author of several books on self-government and Aboriginal rights\, including Pathways to Self Determination\, Quest For Justice\, and Governments in Conflict. His credits also include a variety of influential articles such as\, ‘A concept of Native Title\,’ which was cited in a Canadian Supreme Court decision. \n\n\n\nLola Major\, local teacher and University of Lethbridge alumna\, says Leroy’s unparalleled drive to see others succeed\, and his ability to connect people of all cultures\, make him an outstanding candidate for Alumnus of the Year. \n\n\n\nLeroy’s reputation as a scholar\, author\, consultant and University of Lethbridge builder is without equal in his quest for excellence\, understanding and equality for Aboriginal peoples. Modest\, caring and valued\, Leroy Little Bear is a truly remarkable person\, well-deserving of this award. \n\n\n\nThe University of Lethbridge Alumni Association is proud to recognize the leadership and achievements of Leroy Little Bear by awarding him the Fall 2003 Alumnus of the Year award. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:Laozi and the Implicate Order: Wholeness in Daoism and Quantum Physics
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaozi and the Implicate Order: Wholeness in Daoism and Quantum Physics \n\n\n\nwith Shantena Augusto Sabbadini  \n\n\n\nJuly 26 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\nBohm’s notion of implicate order resonates with the Eastern notion of Dao. Dao is the invisible current that brings the ‘ten thousand things’ to manifestation\, but it is also described as the attractor that calls them back to return to their root\, to no-thingness\, to the unmanifest. And ultimately these two states\, the manifest\, the explicate\, that which can be named\, and the unmanifest\, the implicate\, that which has no name\, are one and the same. Holding them together in our awareness is\, Laozi tells us\, the ultimate secret\, the door of all mysteries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Shantena Augusto Sabbadini\, quantum physicist and philosopher \n\n\n\nShantena 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\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:How does the Classical World Emerge from the Implicate Order?
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow does the Classical World Emerge from the Implicate Order? \n\n\n\nwith Basil Hiley  \n\n\n\nJuly 25 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session  \n\n\n\nExperimental evidence clearly shows classical physics is wrong. Sure\, it works at the classical level\, but there is some deeper order necessary to understand the new physics. Nevertheless this deeper process must approximate to the macroscopic world we experience. David Bohm suggested that the algebraic quantum formalism should be understood in terms of the implicate order. For him this was the order that we directly perceive and from our experiences we abstract an array classical orders\, the explicate orders from which we construct the an order which allows us to find a way to survive. The deeper implicate order contains an array of what appears to be contradictory possible explicate orders. Why? We find classical rigidity is replaced by a new notion of dynamical rigid forms which gives rise to what is known as quantum non-locality.  I will try to explain how these novel ideas arise from our physics and how they provide another way of looking at the world that David Bohm was developing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Basil Hiley\, collaborator and colleague of David Bohm for over 30 years \n\n\n\nBasil J. Hiley is a British quantum physicist and professor emeritus of the University of London. He received the Majorana Prize ‘Best Person in Physics’ in 2012. A long-time co-worker of David Bohm\, Hiley is known for his work with Bohm on the implicate order and for his work on algebraic descriptions of quantum physics in terms of underlying symplectic and orthogonal Clifford algebras. Hiley co-authored the book The Undivided Universe with David Bohm\, which is considered the main reference for Bohm’s interpretation of quantum theory. \n\n\n\nThe work of Bohm and Hiley has been characterized as primarily addressing the question ‘whether we can have an adequate conception of the reality of a quantum system\, be this causal or be it stochastic or be it of any other nature’ and meeting the scientific challenge of providing a mathematical description of quantum systems that matches the idea of an implicate order. \n\n\n\nIn 1961 Hiley was appointed assistant lecturer at Birkbeck College\, where Bohm had taken the chair of Theoretical Physics shortly before. Hiley wanted to investigate how physics could be based on a notion of process\, and he found that David Bohm held similar ideas. He reports that during the seminars he held together with Roger Penrose he was particularly fascinated by John Wheeler’s ‘sum over three geometries’ ideas that he was using to quantize gravity. \n\n\n\nHiley worked with David Bohm for many years on fundamental problems of theoretical physics. Initially Bohm’s model of 1952 did not feature in their discussions; this changed when Hiley asked himself whether the ‘Einstein-Schrödinger equation\,’ as Wheeler called it\, might be found by studying the full implications of that model. They worked together closely for three decades. Together they wrote many publications\, including the book The Undivided Universe: An Ontological Interpretation of Quantum Theory\, published 1993\, which is now considered the major reference for Bohm’s interpretation of quantum theory. \n\n\n\n In 1995\, Basil Hiley was appointed to the chair in physics at Birkbeck College at the University of London. He was awarded the 2012 Majorana Prize in the category The Best Person in Physics for the algebraic approach to quantum mechanics and furthermore in recognition of ‘his paramount importance as natural philosopher\, his critical and open minded attitude towards the role of science in contemporary culture.’ \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:Quantum Trajectories and the Nature of Wholeness in David Bohm’s Quantum Theory
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuantum Trajectories and the Nature of Wholeness in David Bohm’s Quantum Theory \n\n\n\nwith Chris Dewdney  \n\n\n\nJuly 19 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\nChris 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. In particular\, it will be argued that the fundamental nonlocality of quantum mechanics demands that we must transcend our common-sense perception that events are determined solely by processes taking place within ordinary space and time. The true arena in which Schödinger’s quantum mechanics plays out is ‘configuration space’ and these will illustrate\, using the animations\, how Bohm’s trajectories within this space give rise to nonlocal connections in our everyday space and to the wholeness that is seen in complex quantum systems (everything is a complex quantum system). Finally\, there will be discussion on the nature of quantum fields in David Bohm’s quantum field theory and the interaction between quantum fields and quantum matter\, hence revealing the nature of the photon. \n\n\n\nEach of the animations will be shown and discussed in turn\, allowing plenty of time for questions and answers after each. The animations considered will be: \n\n\n\n\nEinstein’s single slit experiment\n\n\n\nThe two-slit experiment\n\n\n\nQuantum measurement—the Stern Gerlach experiment and the measurement of quantum spin\n\n\n\nNonlocality in David Bohm’s version of the Einstein-Podolski-Rosen experiment\n\n\n\nThe nature of the field in David Bohm’s quantum field theory\n\n\n\nThe nature of the photon in the interaction between quantum fields and matter.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChris Dewdney\, PhD. Reader in Theoretical Physics at the University of Portsmouth.  \n\n\n\nChris Dewdney obtained a joint degree in Physics and Philosophy from the University of Warwick in 1973. He then continued his interest in philosophy of physics\, at the postgraduate level\, studying History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge; there his dissertation was written on Niels Bohr’s Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. \n\n\n\nChris then obtained funding from the British Science Research Council to work towards a PhD in David Bohm’s group in the Physics Department at Birkbeck College in London. There\, Chris started to read Bohm’s papers on the notion of order in physics\, attended Bohm’s undergraduate lectures on quantum theory and the frequent postgraduate seminars. Initially\, Chris was the only full-time PhD student at that time working in Bohm’s group. At Birkbeck\, students had to find their own PhD topic\, the main thrust of the research was around formulating a mathematical description of Bohm’s notion of the holomovement and the processes of ‘becoming.’ Bohm’s 1952 hidden-variable theory was not discussed at the time and it was pure serendipity (browsing in the bookshop) that lead Chris to formulate his own PhD study demonstrating in detail how Bohm’s 1952 theory accounted for all of the ‘paradoxical’ features of quantum theory\, starting with the double-slit experiment. Whilst at Birkbeck\, Chris also produced the first computer-generated motion picture animations of quantum tunnelling. \n\n\n\nOn completion of his PhD in 1983\, Chris was awarded a Royal Society Fellowship which he held in Jean-Pierre Vigier’s group at the Insitut Henri Poincare in Paris. During the fellowship Chris extended the detailed de Broglie-Bohm theory calculations to include neutron interferometry and the processes of spin measurement and spin superposition. \n\n\n\nIn 1986\, Chris took up a permanent teaching and research position at The University of Portsmouth in the UK\, becoming a Reader in Theoretical Physics in 1992. At Portsmouth he extended his work in de Broglie-Bohm theory to give a detailed\, de Broglie-Bohm account of the nonlocal processes evident\, for example\, in the Einstein\, Podolsky and Rosen experiment. At Portsmouth\, working with George Horton\, and his own students\, Chris also developed detailed de Broglie-Bohm accounts of quantum chaos\, the motion of quantum fields and the quantized exchange of energy between matter and radiation. \n\n\n\nChris’s work in carrying out the detailed calculations of quantum mechanical processes helped transform the situation regarding interest in\, and acceptance of\, de Broglie-Bohm theory. Although at first\, he was almost alone in pursuing de Broglie-Bohm theory calculations\, today there is a small industry doing so for many different physical circumstances. Chris’s work helped put de Broglie-Bohm theory centre stage in the foundations of quantum theory context. When he started out\, Bohm’s approach was hardly considered\, and none had carried out detailed calculations within the interpretation of quantum theory community; today it is considered a viable theory\, and this is in some part due to Chris’s work. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:David Bohm in the 1940s: Science\, Scientific Style and Political Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Buy the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bohm in the 1940s: Science\, Scientific Style and Political Engagement \n\n\n\nwith Olival Freire Jr.  \n\n\n\nJuly 18 at 18:00 (CEST) for a 2-hour live session   \n\n\n\nWhen 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. During the Great Depression he had shifted from a strong commitment to individualism along the lines of the American Dream to a more socially inclined\, even sympathetic\, social view. As for physics subjects\, he began to work on a subject\, plasma\, which was inherited from the war effort and he moved to the subject to which he would dedicate his entire life: the quest to understand the quantum world. Olival will present and reflect on Bohm’s early stage of his mature life looking for elements of continuity we may find in his whole life. \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. \n\n\n\nTo see the full Summer Series and list of speakers click here

SUMMARY:Infinite Potential: The Life and Ideas of David Bohm - Exclusive Screening of Director's Cut
DESCRIPTION:It is our great pleasure to invite you to join us for the screening of theWorld Premiere of the Director’s cut of \n\n\n\nINFINITE POTENTIALTHE LIFE AND IDEAS OF DAVID BOHM\n\n\n\nSaturday July 11 at 9:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\nDavid Peat’s long-term dream was to produce a documentary about his colleague and friend David Bohm. Now\, with the support of the Fetzer Foundation\, the Mind and Life Institute\, director Paul Howard and Imagine Films\, and the Pari Center Community\, the dream has finally been realised. Pari was the birthplace of the film\, and many of the interviewees were filmed here in the village\, so it is an honour for us to present the long-awaited Infinite Potential: The Life and Ideas of David Bohm. \n\n\n\nDavid 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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nFollowing the screening\, an Online Summer Series organized in celebration of the film will span the following 7 weekends\, featuring almost all of the interviewees in 2-hour long live interactive sessions. Find out more \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion And Live Q&A\n\n\n\nFollowing the film\, we invite you to join us for a panel discussion and live Q&A with the director and key interviewees from the film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\nDavid LorimerProgram Director of Scientific and Medical NetworkEditor\, Paradigm Explorer \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists\n\n\n\nPaul Howard\, Director and ProducerBasil Hiley\, Quantum Physicist and Professor Emeritus\, University of London\, UKLeroy Little Bear\, Blackfoot Native\, Professor Emeritus University of Lethbridge\, CanadaLee Nichol\, Editor and Educator \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up for your FREE seat at the Director’s Cut screening on YouTube and we’ll keep you up to date with all the relevant info\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n Email address (required)\n \n \n\n\n Δ

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.

SUMMARY:Online Pari Community Conversations: Gentle Action
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.

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.
