SUMMARY:Beyond Jung 2024 - Synchronicity and Jung’s Holistic Epistemology
DESCRIPTION:Synchronicity and Jung’s Holistic Epistemology \n\n\n\nwith Professor Roderick Main \n\n\n\nSunday\, December 8\, 20249am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nBeyond Jung 2024\, Session 4 of 6 \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJung developed his concept of synchronicity to address the scientific\, spiritual\, and social crises he saw as stemming from the one-sided rationalism of modern Western culture and its concomitant ‘disenchantment’. With his concept of synchronicity\, Jung provided a holistic approach to knowledge that aimed to undo disenchantment by reinstating mystery\, meaning\, and connection to the sacred at the heart of our scientific and scholarly as well as therapeutic and creative practices. In this presentation\, I shall first clarify the holistic character of Jung’s proposed epistemological contribution with his concept of synchronicity. I shall then illustrate how this holistic approach to knowledge informed Jung’s scientific and scholarly work\, including on synchronicity itself. Finally\, I shall indicate some of the ways in which my own work as a researcher and educator has been influenced by holistic epistemological principles based on the concept of synchronicity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRoderick Main holds a BA and MA in Classics from the University of Oxford and a PhD in Religious Studies from Lancaster University.  He now works at the University of Essex\, where he is Professor in the Department of Psychosocial and Psychoanalytic Studies and Director of the Centre for Myth Studies.  His books include Jung on Synchronicity and the Paranormal (1997; edited); The Rupture of Time: Synchronicity and Jung’s Critique of Modern Western Culture (2004); Revelations of Chance: Synchronicity as Spiritual Experience (2007); Myth\, Literature\, and the Unconscious (2013; co-edited); Holism: Possibilities and Problems (2020; co-edited); Jung\, Deleuze\, and the Problematic Whole (2021; co-edited); and most recently\, Breaking the Spell of Disenchantment: Mystery\, Meaning\, and Metaphysics in the Work of C. G. Jung (2022).

SUMMARY:Beyond Jung 2024 - Splitting the Mirror: A Shard of Synchronicity from a Historical and Personal Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Splitting the Mirror: A Shard of Synchronicity from a Historical and Personal Perspective \n\n\n\nwith Dr Suzanne Gieser \n\n\n\nSunday\, December 1\, 20249am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nBeyond Jung 2024\, Session 2 of 6 \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe concept of synchronicity was developed by C. G. Jung and the physicist Wolfgang Pauli during the period 1946-1952 and finally published in the book The interpretation of Nature and Psyche\, containing Jung’s essay on synchronicity and Pauli’s essay on the influence of archetypal ideas on the scientific theories of Kepler. For Pauli the book was in itself a synchronicity\, a spiritual testament\, almost like a holy book\, whose content should never be ‘split’. Pauli’s personal experience of synchronicity was linked to the theme of accidents and the breaking of objects\, the so called ‘Pauli-effect’\, well known amongst his colleagues. With time it came to be more about the theme of mirroring\, which also became important in the scientific field that he was working in. In my personal journey of 37 years of working with Pauli’s correspondence\, there has been a peculiar parallel process of synchronicities also mainly expressing itself in objects splitting and systems breaking\, as well as an emergence of a ‘mirroring’ theme. In my case the theme of splitting showed itself in a very numinous dream in 1982\, long before I encountered the Pauli material. This lecture will probe into synchronicity from these angles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSuzanne Gieser has a PhD in the History of Sciences (specialty history of psychiatry and psychotherapy) and is also a licensed psychotherapist and supervisor. She works both with a private practice and as employed at a specialist clinic for the sexually traumatized in Stockholm\, Sweden. She has studied the psychology of C. G. Jung since 1981\, especially the relationship between Jung and the physicist Wolfgang Pauli. Her book\, The Innermost Kernel: Depth Psychology and Quantum Physics. Wolfgang Pauli’s Dialogue with C. G. Jung was published in English in 2005. She was a senior lecturer and associate professor for ten years at The Institute of Analytical Psychology (IAP)\, a private institute of Jungian scholarly studies in Stockholm\, and has authored several articles and prefaces related to C. G. Jung and Wolfgang Pauli in Swedish and English\, including the article on Jung in the Swedish National Encyclopedia. She is a member of the board at the Swedish C. G. Jung Foundation and is co-founder of the Swedish Association of Imago Therapy. She is the editor of Jung’s 1937 and 1938 seminars in Bailey Island and New York\, published in 2019.

SUMMARY:Beyond Jung 2024 -  ‘Everything Breathes Together’: Synchronicity and Its Implications\, Cosmological\, Psychological\, Spiritual
DESCRIPTION:‘Everything Breathes Together’: Synchronicity and Its Implications\, Cosmological\, Psychological\, Spiritual \n\n\n\nwith Professor Rick Tarnas \n\n\n\nSaturday\, November 30\, 20249am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\nBeyond Jung 2024\, Session 1 of 6 \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe phenomenon of synchronicity represents a distinctive challenge to the dominant scientific world picture of our time: If synchronicity is real\, the universe must be very different indeed from what is assumed by the mainstream modern scientific understanding with its fundamental conviction that the cosmos is a randomly evolving mechanistic phenomenon blindly indifferent to human concerns\, with no intrinsic meaning or purpose outside of human subjectivity. Yet this paradigm conflict is not merely of possible theoretical interest to a few open-minded scientists and philosophers. The profound shift of horizon entailed by the ongoing fact of synchronicities occurring in countless individual lives carries existential implications at the most intimate as well as most cosmic levels of human concern. In today’s lecture\, I hope to address some of these more practical implications as well as those that touch on the great metaphysical and epistemological issues at play. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Tarnas\, PhD\, is Professor Emeritus at the California Institute of Integral Studies\, where he founded the graduate program in Philosophy\, Cosmology\, and Consciousness. He has taught courses in the history of ideas\, depth psychology\, archetypal cosmology\, cultural history\, and the evolution of consciousness. He has also frequently lectured on archetypal studies and depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute\, and was formerly the director of programs and education at Esalen Institute. He is the author of The Passion of the Western Mind\, a narrative history of the Western world view from the ancient Greek to the postmodern that is widely used in universities. His second book\, Cosmos and Psyche\, received the Book of the Year Prize from the Scientific and Medical Network. He is also the co-editor of Psyche Unbound: Essays in Honor of Stanislav Grof. Richard Tarnas is a past president of the International Transpersonal Association and was a long-time member of the Board of Governors for the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Beyond Jung 2024: Living Synchronicity
DESCRIPTION:with Richard Berengarten\, Jean Bolen\, Joe Cambray\, Suzanne Gieser\, Roderick Main\, Rick Tarnas.Curated and Chaired by Roderick Main. \n\n\n\nNovember 30 – December 15\, 20249am PST / 12pm EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET \n\n\n\n6 two-hour sessions every Saturday and Sunday  \n\n\n\nAll sessions are LIVE. All participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSix seasoned explorers of synchronicity share their insight into the topic\, including how synchronicity\, as an experience or as a principle\, plays a vital part in their professional work. \n\n\n\nThis is the inaugural set of talks in a new ‘Beyond Jung’ series hosted by the Pari Center\, honouring the seminal work and inspiration of the Swiss psychiatrist C. G. Jung. Our title\, ‘Living Synchronicity’\, refers to both the vital contemporary importance of synchronicity and the possibility of our living more synchronistically. Beginning with this topic seems especially apt in view of the seminal contribution to the study of synchronicity by the founder of the Pari Center\, the late David Peat. \n\n\n\nSynchronistic experiences—meaningful coincidences—are often described as profoundly significant both personally and sometimes also at a more than personal level. Meanwhile\, synchronicity as a principle—acausal connection through meaning—is often claimed to have radical implications for how we understand reality. Jung himself associated synchronicity with a unitary worldview\, and he developed the concept as a form of holistic epistemology to address what he saw as the perilous one-sidedness of modern experimental science when decoupled from the realms of meaning and value. \n\n\n\nIn this series of talks\, six seasoned explorers of the topic—from scientific\, scholarly\, psychotherapeutic\, divinatory\, and creative backgrounds—share some of their insights into the nature and importance of synchronicity and how it has played into their lives and professional work. \n\n\n\nSessions\n\n\n\n‘Everything Breathes Together’: Synchronicity and Its Implications\, Cosmological\, Psychological\, SpiritualWith Professor Rick TarnasSaturday 30 November \n\n\n\nSplitting the Mirror: A Shard of Synchronicity from a Historical and Personal PerspectiveWith Dr Suzanne GieserSunday 1 December \n\n\n\nThe Tao of Psychology: Synchronicity and the SelfWith Dr Jean Shinoda BolenSaturday December 7 \n\n\n\nSynchronicity and Jung’s Holistic EpistemologyWith Professor Roderick MainSunday December 8 \n\n\n\nAn Arc of SynchronicitiesWith Dr Joe CambraySaturday December 14 \n\n\n\nFour Shillings and Sixpence: Synchronicity and Poetry With Richard BerengartenSunday December 15

SUMMARY:The Future Mind - A conversation with Annika and Tristan
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5GZXAapxXk\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conversation between Annika\, Tristan and Àlex Gómez-Marín \n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 139:00am PST  | 12:00pm EST  | 5:00pm GMT  |  6:00pm CET  \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnnika and Tristan are two distinct persons that share a single body. Together over the last sixteen years they have learned to live in harmony with each other while overcoming the unique struggles and challenges their situation naturally brings. Today they are ready to share what they have learned from their experience of being “two souls in one brain” and what the existence of others like them may mean for science and the hard problem of consciousness. Recently interviewed by Dr. Jeffrey Mishlove and featured on “New Thinking Allowed”\, Annika and Tristan’s case is unique and transcends the psychiatric and psychological literature. Their embodied experiences offer radical insights for neuro-diversity and have deep metaphysical implications for our everyday life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation and at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins of the arrow of time to the neurobiology of action-perception across species\, from flies and worms to mice and humans. Since 2016 he has been the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, where he is an Associate Professor of the Spanish Research Council. Combining computational biology and continental philosophy\, his current research concentrates on consciousness in the real world.

SUMMARY:Structuring Process in the Undivided Universe
DESCRIPTION:Structuring Process in the Undivided Universe: a series of talks and conversations with Basil Hiley \n\n\n\nSeptember\, 20 – 24\, 2024 \n\n\n\nwith Basil Hiley\, Hamish Todd\, Paavo Pylkkänen\, Jonathan Allday and Michael Wright \n\n\n\nLocation: Pari\, Italy \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuantum Phoronomy; that is Quantum Non-mechanics. \n\n\n\nDavid Bohm writes in his 1951 book “Quantum Theory” (p. 167):-  “The entire universe must\, on a very accurate level\, be regarded as a single indivisible unit in which the separate parts appear as idealisations permissible only on a classical level of accuracy of description.”  The challenge then is to find an accurate mathematical way to describe this situation.  As Eddington points out in his 1936 book\, “Relativity Theory of Protons and Electrons”\,  “The quantum formalism tells us how an incompletely separated object can be represented as a probability distribution over completely separated states.”  I will explain how this removes the ‘measurement problem’ and replaces materialism with the more primitive organic notion of process where activity or ‘energy’\, rather than ‘matter’\, is taken as basic. \n\n\n\nThis approach provides a way to understand Bohm’s implicate/explicate order in which emphasis is given to the emergence of different geometries (or phoronomies\, a notion already used by Einstein in ‘Über den Äther\,  Schw. Nat. Gesel. Verh. 105 (1924) 85-93).  I want to motivate intuitively why it is necessary to change the whole system of order and measure assumed in Euclidean geometry.  In this way I want to emphasise the role of algebra in the mathematical description in this approach\, linking up with some more recent developments in symplectic\, conformal and nil geometries.

SUMMARY:The Future Mind – A Conversation with Amy Lemon
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpT1duQyYc0&t=2s\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conversation between Amy Lemon and Àlex Gómez-Marín \n\n\n\nWednesday\, September 189:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST  \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Lemon has been a professional actress for 40 years in New York and Los Angeles. Her pursuit of knowledge into the nature of being a conscious human has been a lifelong study. Her inquiry into Jungian thought\, perennial philosophy\, consciousness studies broadly\, religious studies in college and continuing presently as a seminary student\, have been her passions.  Her 45 year spiritual practices and personal phenomenal experiences\, have all opened and awakened a ravenous curiosity that has helped to heal her early childhood experience of being sexually\, emotional and physically abused by a family member. She spent years working and on the board of directors of a non-profit\, The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse in upstate New York where she raised her two now adult daughters. Child abuse has a profound effect on the lives of those who have experienced it;  from the way the brain and nervous system develops and responds to life’s circumstances and interpersonal relationships\, to life long difficulties with substance abuse\, depression\, anxiety and other mental and physical health maladies. This is well documented in neuroscience\, medicine and psychology. Its continuous perpetration in the world is a heinous human rights violation and affects us all in ways visible and invisible. And it stays in the shadows. It’s time to call it out into the light as we try to raise our consciousness as a species\, starting with our most vulnerable\, who will inherit the earth we leave them with. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation and at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins of the arrow of time to the neurobiology of action-perception across species\, from flies and worms to mice and humans. Since 2016 he has been the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, where he is an Associate Professor of the Spanish Research Council. Combining computational biology and continental philosophy\, his current research concentrates on consciousness in the real world.

SUMMARY:Longing for Wholeness
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to the generous funding from a European foundation\, we now have the opportunity to offer three full scholarships\, preferably to young minds\, for this event. For more information: \n\n\n\n\nScholarship Programme\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLonging for Wholeness:What do the Sciences\, Arts and Religions Share? \n\n\n\nAugust 27 – September 3\, 2024 \n\n\n\nSpeakers: Jonathan Allday\, Jonathan Code\, Chamkaur Ghag\, Tim Ingold\, Alison MacLeod\, Andrea McLean\, Shantena Augusto Sabbadini\, Joan Walton \n\n\n\nCurated and Chaired by: John Pickering \n\n\n\nLocation: Pari\, Italy \n\n\n\nTicket Prices:\n\n\n\nPrivate AccommodationPrice: 2175.00 euros \n\n\n\nShared Accommodation – Private Room with shared bathroomPrice: 1875.00 euros \n\n\n\nwhich includes: \n\n\n\n\na 7-night stay;\n\n\n\nbreakfast\, lunch and dinner at the local restaurant featuring locally sourced produce and traditional dishes;\n\n\n\nwater\, wine\, and coffee are provided with lunch and dinner;\n\n\n\nprogrammed activities and materials;\n\n\n\nrefreshments provided at mid-morning and mid-afternoon coffee breaks.\n\n\n\n\nThere is a limited amount of accommodation in Pari and you will be placed on a first-come\, first-served basis. We will also be using accommodation just outside of the village—within 3 kilometres. If you are housed outside Pari\, a shuttle to and from the village will be provided. \n\n\n\nEvent: The event starts on Tuesday August 27 at 19:00 with a welcome dinner and ends on Tuesday September 3 after lunch. \n\n\n\nDownload information\, terms and conditions. \n\n\n\nAbout the Event \n\n\n\nScience has helped us to live with less suffering\, but has it helped us to understand life or accept death? It cannot do what spiritual traditions do. Ideally\, it should remain open to other ways of knowing and this meeting will look at what common ground might exist between them. Speakers from the sciences\, arts and the healing traditions will aim to create an open\, participatory dialogue on how we might understand the world as a unified whole.  \n\n\n\nOver the past four centuries or so we have come to know far more than we understand.  But although modern science has become the principal framework for human understanding\, it cannot do what spiritual traditions formerly did.  Science has helped us to live with less suffering\, but has it helped us to understand life or to accept death? \n\n\n\nIf science exclusively favours rational methodology over artistic expression or spiritual insight it can become restrictive\, leading to Blake’s “Single Vision”.  But at its best science remains open to other traditions and other ways of knowing.  Many scientists are firmly religious while deeply religious people usually find little difficulty in engaging with scientific findings. \n\n\n\nThis meeting will look at what common ground exists between different ways of knowing.  Perhaps that lies in the feeling that we need to understand the world as a unified whole and that inquiry can be open\, guided by imagination and by beauty.  Here\, the arts play a unique role\, leading the way to a deeper understanding of the place of human life\, and death\, within the cosmos.   \n\n\n\nIt will bring together speakers from the sciences\, arts\, faiths and the healing traditions to create an open dialogue and supportive experience in which all can participate.  We hope to touch on the relationship of science and religions\, especially as they touch on the reality of death\, the roles and status of women both now and in former times\, ritual\, music especially the voice and much more.  \n\n\n\nThis will be an informal meeting with presentations by experts followed by roundtable discussions. \n\n\n\nParticipating in an event at the Pari Center means not only meeting with scholars and experts but living for a week in a medieval village\, mingling with the tiny local population\, eating local dishes and drinking local wines\, appreciating the beauty of the surrounding countryside\, and participating in a very gentle way of life far from the frenzy of work and city living. David Peat compared Pari to an alchemical vessel—a place where transformation can come about—as well as an opportunity to pause for a moment and re-assess one’s life. It’s a unique opportunity open to everyone.  \n\n\n\nWe at the Pari Center seek to bring together world-renowned experts from a great range of disciplines\, approaches\, and sensibilities to meet together in person and deepen our insights on the workings and origin of human experience\, while also exploring creative and rigorous frameworks to integrate such wonderful mysteries hidden in plain sight into a coherent evolutionary understanding.

SUMMARY:The Future Mind – A Conversation with Alison Liebling
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIUoqL_sGw0\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conversation between Alison Liebling and Àlex Gómez-Marín \n\n\n\nMonday August 2611:30am PDT  | 2:30pm EDT  | 7:30pm BST  |  8:30pm CEST  \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlison Liebling is Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice at the University of Cambridge and the Director of the Institute of Criminology’s Prisons Research Centre. She has carried out research on life in prison for over 30 years. Her projects have included suicide and self-harm in prisons\, close supervision centres for difficult prisoners\, incentives and earned privileges\, staff-prisoner relationships\, the location and building of trust in high security prisons\, the work of prison officers\, and conceptualizing and measuring the moral quality of prison life\, including comparisons between public and private sector prisons. She has evaluated shared reading programmes in Psychologically-Informed Planned Environments for prisoners with personality disorders\, and is currently exploring the differences between survivable and unsurvivable prisons. Her books include Prisons and their Moral Performance: A Study of Values\, Quality and Prison Life (2004)\, The Effects of Imprisonment (2005\, with Shadd Maruna)\, Legitimacy and Criminal Justice: An International Exploration (2013\, with Justice Tankebe); and The Prison Officer (2001\, 2nd edition 2010). She has just completed a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship\, carrying out the project\, ‘Moral rules\, social science and forms of order in prison’. She is finishing a book arising from that project\, tentatively called Aristotle’s Prison: A Search for Humanity and Justice. She argues that what keeps people alive in prison is feeling part of a moral universe. She was made a member of the British Academy in 2018. She is involved in an advisory capacity in projects on penal reform and evaluating prison quality in countries including Latvia\, Lithuania\, Romania\, Poland\, Bulgaria\, Germany and Switzerland. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 2 - Fragmentation and Wholeness: Bohm and G.W.F. Hegel
DESCRIPTION:Fragmentation and Wholeness: Bohm and G.W.F. Hegel\n\n\n\nwith Boris Koznjak \n\n\n\nSaturday August 249:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmong the many well-known philosophical influences on the physics and philosophy of science of David Bohm—ranging from Marxism to Krishnamurti—one important influence has remained almost completely unknown: the German philosopher George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel\, one of the most important systematic philosophers in the history of Western philosophy and a prominent figure in philosophical idealism. This is indeed an unfortunate historical state of affairs\, since Hegel was in fact Bohm’s strongest philosophical influence throughout his mature intellectual life\, particularly in his abhorrence of fragmentation and his affection for wholeness\, which is prominently reflected in both his physics and his philosophy of science. Moreover\, speaking of Bohm as a person\, his worldview can also be seen as strongly influenced by specific social propensities and psychological determinants from his early emotional and intellectual development\, for which Hegel’s philosophy later served as a rational catalyst. Interestingly\, but not unexpectedly\, these determinants were strikingly similar to those that led the young Hegel to engage with the concepts of fragmentation and wholeness throughout his philosophical life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoris Kožnjak is a historian and philosopher of science\, working as a scientific advisor at the Institute of Philosophy in Zagreb\, Croatia. He graduated in physics from the Physics Department of the Faculty of Science and Mathematics at the University of Zagreb and received a PhD in philosophy from the Faculty of Philosophy at the same university. His scientific work particularly involves research in the history and philosophy of modern physics\, with great attention paid also to the sociology and psychology of science. His work on Bohm includes research on Bohm’s Hegelianism as well as the scientific\, historical\, and social conditions of the ‘turn’ in the reception of Bohm’s ‘alternative physics’ during the late 1950s.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 2 - Quantum Properties of Matter as Potentialities in Bohm’s 1951 Book Quantum Theory
DESCRIPTION:Quantum Properties of Matter as Potentialities in Bohm’s 1951 Book Quantum Theory\n\n\n\nwith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSunday August 189:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne year before his 1952 ‘hidden variables’ paper David Bohm presented a physical-ontological interpretation of standard (‘Copenhagen’) interpretation of quantum theory in his 1951 646-page textbook.  He proposed that properties of quantum particles such as electrons ought to be seen as ‘opposing potentialities.’  They are ‘potentialities’ in the sense they typically do not exist in a well-defined sense before measurement and ‘opposing’ in the sense that if one measures\, say\, position accurately\, one cannot measure momentum accurately at the same time in the same experimental situation (‘complementarity’).  Bohm’s discussion is philosophically intriguing—for one thing he suggests that we cannot derive the macroscopic world (which we need to actualize the potentialities of quantum particles) from quantum theory.  And yet the behaviour of the macroscopic\, classical level can only be understood in terms of a quantum theory of its component molecules.  Bohm’s discussion anticipates the implicate order framework\, where he introduces the notion of an ‘intrinsically implicate order\,’ which means an order all of which cannot be made ‘explicate’ at a given moment.  In this sense Bohm’s 1951 electron (conceived of as consisting of opposing potentialites) is an intrinsically implicate order\, as we cannot manifest position and momentum at the single moment of time.  The relation of the macroscopic world to the underlying quantum level of reality continues to be a subject of philosophical discussion\, as we still cannot experimentally distinguish between\, say\,  many worlds\, pilot wave or spontaneuous collapse interpretations.  I will argue that Bohm’s 1951 discussion still provides a valuable perspective to the meaning of quantum theory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaavo Pylkkänen\, PhD\, is Senior Lecturer in Theoretical Philosophy and Director of the Bachelor’s Program in Philosophy at the University of Helsinki\, Finland.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 2 - A Comparative Overview of Process Metaphysics and Substance Metaphysics & Indeterminate\, Concrete Individuals in Johanna Seibt's General Process Theory
DESCRIPTION:Part 1: A Comparative Overview of Process Metaphysics and Substance Metaphysics\n\n\n\nwith Samuli Isotalo \n\n\n\nPart 2: Indeterminate\, Concrete Individuals in Johanna Seibt’s General Process Theory\n\n\n\nwith Thelma Nylund \n\n\n\nSaturday August 179:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 1: A Comparative Overview of Process Metaphysics and Substance Metaphysics with Samuli Isotalo \n\n\n\nProcess metaphysics is an approach in philosophy according to which reality in its fundamental nature is processual. That is to say\, processes rather than things are taken to be the most fundamental phenomena existing in nature. Although process metaphysics is usually attributed immediately to the ideas of Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947)\, process metaphysicians do not as such have to commit themselves into the particular views of him. Rather\, process metaphysics should be looked at as a general manner of approach in metaphysics instead of a fixed set of doctrines centred around a particular thinker. Faithful to its own teachings\, process metaphysics should be looked at as an ongoing process which attempts to understand the most fundamental nature of reality. \n\n\n\nOn the other hand\, the more influential and more mainstream approach—substance metaphysics—takes things as the fundamental building blocks of reality. This approach usually sees these things as substances\, that is to say\, as some kinds of independent\, discrete and static sort of entities\, where the relatedness and interconnectedness of these things is quite often taken to be something secondary in nature\, if not altogether irrelevant. Thus\, it can be said that while process metaphysics emphasizes interactive relatedness\, wholeness\, activity and interdependence\, substance metaphysics in contrast emphasizes discrete individuality\, separateness\, fixity and independence. \n\n\n\nIn my talk\, I shall present these two ways of doing metaphysics in their general outlines\, but I do so from the perspective of process metaphysics. I’ll do this by mostly relying on the ideas of Nicholas Rescher (1928-2024). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamuli Isotalo is a doctoral student in philosophy at the University of Turku\, Finland. His dissertation focuses on metaphysics\, the study of Being itself. More specifically\, what it is to be\, what is its nature\, and how to understand and think of the whole\, that is\, Being itself as a totality. The project has recently begun by first focusing on the metaphysics of the medieval period\, especially St. Thomas Aquinas (1224?-1274). The project is not\, however\, meant to be purely historical. Rather\, the insights of the medieval metaphysicians are intended to be brought into such present-day discussions where metaphysics intersects with natural science. It is here where process metaphysics has come to be of much interest to this project. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: Indeterminate\, Concrete Individuals in Johanna Seibt’s General Process Theory with Thelma Nylund \n\n\n\nJohanna Seibt has been developing a process ontological theory called ‘general process theory’ in which the category of functionally individuated dynamic processes is the only category. Since entities are more or less general and can be multiply located in the theory of general processes\, ordinary objects such as a singular cat\, but also traditional class-like entities like biological species\, are both thought of as concrete individuals. Seibt divides entities into different types of dynamics based on their ‘spatio-temporal signature’ which tells us how the entity is located in space and in time using the notions of like-partedness or homeomereity and self-containment or automereity. Spatio-temporal self-containment can only make sense for entities individuated functionally and can only be defined in terms of a non-standard mereology of general process theory in which parthood is a non-transitive relation.  \n\n\n\nIn this talk I will argue that Seibt rejects successfully several traditional ontological presuppositions and that understanding entities as the more or less indeterminate\, yet concrete individuals of general process theory\, provides philosophers with novel tools for ontological inquiry.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThelma Nylund is a Master’s level student in philosophy at Tampere University\, Finland. She is finishing her Master’s thesis in which she compares the neo-Aristotelian four-category ontology of E. J. Lowe to Johanna Seibt’s process-ontological theory. After graduation she is planning to continue studying process metaphysics in doctoral studies.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 2 - The Relations Between Russellian Monism\, James's Radical Empiricism and Bohm's Implicate Order
DESCRIPTION:The Relations Between Russellian Monism\, James’s Radical Empiricism and Bohm’s Implicate Order\n\n\n\nwith William Seager \n\n\n\nSunday August 119:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWillam James’s Radical Empiricism and cognate views going under the  general title of Neutral Monism encompass a picture of reality with many  attractive features. It presents a straightforward and intuitively attractive solution to the so-called Hard Problem of Consciousness. It endorses a view of perception and cognition which puts us in direct contact with the world\, indeed\, in direct contact with the fundamental  nature of reality\, where mind does not mirror nature so much as inhabit it. It supports the idea that the world can be scientifically described in terms of structural relations without lapsing into implausible scientistic reductionisms. One aspect of James’s view that has been little explored is the its relation to some views of David Bohm’s. In particular\, what is the relation between Bohm’s “Implicate Order” and what James called “Pure Experience”? There is a question whether Bohm’s view dovetails with James’s\, or whether it is more akin to what has come to be called “Russellian Monism”. I’ll argue that Bohm’s view might well count as a form of Neutral Monism\, but point out some key differences between Bohm and James. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWilliam Seager is Professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto Scarborough. He has been working on the the philosophy of mind and especially the problem of consciousness for about 45 years\, but still hasn’t gotten very far. Two recent books of his are Theories of Consciousness (2nd ed. 2016) and The Routledge Handbook of Panpsychism (2020).

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 2 - Introduction to Bohm's Physics
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Bohm’s Physics\n\n\n\nwith Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nSunday August 49:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bohm made very important contributions to a range of different areas in Physics. Amongst these\, his work on quantum theory is possibly the most relevant to Pari discussions. In this talk I will attempt to outline Bohm’s ontological interpretation of quantum theory\, which has since been developed by Basil Hiley amongst others. I will also discuss Bohm’s development of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen paper which lead to John Bell’s work and our current understanding of entanglement. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Allday was born in Liverpool in 1960. He did his first degree in Natural Sciences at Cambridge in 1982 and then returned to Liverpool to complete a PhD in elementary particle physics. As part of this\, he was fortunate to spend some time working at the European particle physics centre\, CERN\, in Geneva. \n\n\n\nAlso\, during that time he was co-opted onto a working party looking at the teaching of particle physics in schools and universities. The upshot was a new syllabus in particle physics and cosmology to be added to UK A-level (16-18) physics qualifications. The first questions were set in 1992. \n\n\n\nOn the back of the work on this syllabus\, Jonathan wrote his first book Quarks\, Leptons and the Big Bang\, which was published in 1998 and is about to enter its fourth edition. Jonathan has also collaborated on a couple of textbooks and written his own books on Quantum Theory\, General Relativity and the Apollo moon missions. \n\n\n\nProfessionally\, Jonathan worked as a physics teacher for 30 years in a variety of independent day and boarding schools in the UK. He was a head of physics\, a head of science and latterly an academic deputy head. He retired in 2020 and now runs a consulting company providing training and educational advice for schools. \n\n\n\nJonathan is married to Carolyn\, and they have three sons all of whom are far better at sport than he was. Carolyn was a GB swimmer\, which explains how come the boys can do sport. Jonathan and Carolyn live in a hamlet not far from Worcester in the UK. When not writing or consulting\, Jonathan enjoys watching cricket\, James Bond movies and Formula 1 races.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 1 - Science and Art: Squaring the Circle
DESCRIPTION:Science and Art: Squaring the Circle\n\n\n\nwith Cheryl Brant \n\n\n\nSaturday July 279:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheryl Brant’s work finds her working at the intersection of art and science. Her formal education began with a Bachelor of Science in Art\, and continued with an MFA in sculpture. Her professional life has been in engineering for the past 36 years—first in Geotechnical engineering\, and for the past 22 years in Structural\, Civil\, and Coastal engineering. Her artwork has been exhibited in numerous galleries through the years. She is a founding member of the Pari Holoflux experiments. \n\n\n\nOf her recent work\, Cheryl says\, “I hadn’t heard about David Bohm until I attended a conference at the Pari Center given by David Peat. At the time\, he (Peat) was working on the film ‘Infinite Potential.’ Since then\, Bohm’s work has become integral in my approach to art.”  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom her website: “Circle-Squaring is a process of finding ways for seemingly opposite things to work together. Squaring the circle has been thought of as ‘doing the impossible… turning one into its opposite.’ However\, circles and squares to me are complements much like earth and water or art and science. In seeing these as complements rather than opposites\, we can gain a more nuanced understanding of the microcosm\, macrocosm\, and ultimately ourselves. They work together to provide a more all-encompassing picture which should hopefully be closer to the truth.” \n\n\n\nIn this session\, Cheryl will share with us various aspects of her work spanning four decades\, culminating in current explorations of the nature of consciousness as an innate aspect of the living world. \n\n\n\nwww.circlesquaring.net

SUMMARY:Free Science in a Free Society: Celebrating Feyerabend’s Centennial
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BruT-EHF-iE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Science in a Free Society: Celebrating Feyerabend’s Centennial \n\n\n\nWith Vandana Shiva and Àlex Gómez-Marín \n\n\n\nTuesday July 23\, 20249:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\nThis event is LIVE and FREE. All registered participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Austrian philosopher Paul Feyerabend (1924-1994) has been regarded as “the worst enemy of science” (Nature\, 1987) but also a “breath of fresh air” (Science\, 1979). He is the fourth iteration of the great philosophers of science of the 20th century\, after Karl Popper (1902-1994)\, Thomas Kuhn (1922-1996)\, and Imre Lakatos (1922-1974)\, standing as one of the most relevant thinkers ever in our understanding of what science really is and does.  \n\n\n\nHis works —Against Method: Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge (1975)\, Science in a Free Society (1978)\, and Farewell to Reason (1987)\, amongst other books\, lectures\, and essays— revealed that the so-called scientific method is not so well defined and stable as commonly thought or proclaimed\, but crowded with notable anomalies. In fact\, the history of science shows that progress often takes place when scientists actually break (rather than follow) the methodological rules and standards we so much venerate.  \n\n\n\nHe also denounced that science is too often entangled with politics while pretending it isn’t\, which enables its misuse for ideological and authoritarian reasons. He deliberately promulgated his famous motto “anything goes” in order to point to another kind of rationality (which some disdain as irrationalism)\, beyond the dogmatic mechanistic deductive order that seeks to dominate nature and people. Cartesian-Baconian rationality is one (but not the only) valuable tradition in science. One must address the relation between Reason and Practice. \n\n\n\nIn order to celebrate the centennial of his birth (and three decades since he passed away)\, Vandana and Alex will be in dialogue for about one hour\, reflecting on Feyerabend’s legacy and its impact today. They will discuss current pernicious monotheisms of the mind and\, based on general principles and concrete examples\, entertain and illustrate alternatives in physics\, neurobiology\, agriculture\, and economy. We would then open it up for questions and comments from the audience. \n\n\n\nScience needs boundaries indeed\, but they need to be porous. The role of scientists (and the authority of experts) in a genuine democratic society is at stake. The complex dynamics between truth\, post-truth\, and totalitarianism needs to be put on the table. The tension between dogmatism and anarchism can be resolved via an ecological pluralism applied to our minds and lives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar\, activist\, and author. A food sovereignty advocate\, environmentalist\, and ecofeminist\, Shiva holds a PhD in physics and has written more than 20 books\, including Making Peace with the Earth\, Staying Alive\, Monocultures of the Mind\, Democratizing Biology\, Soil Not Oil\, and Stolen Harvest. Based in Delhi\, she is referred to as “Gandhi of grain” for her activism associated with the anti-GMO movement. Shiva is one of the leaders and board members of the International Forum on Globalization\, and a figure of the anti-globalization movement. She has worked as a consultant for the Indian government and abroad\, and in NGOs such as the International Forum on Globalization\, Women’s Environment & Development Organization and Third World Network. She is a co-founder of the gender unit of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development\, and of the Women’s Environment & Development Organization. Shiva has received numerous international honors\, such as the John Lennon-Yoko Ono Grant for Peace (2008)\, Sydney’s Peace Prize (2010)\, Calgary’s Peace Prize (2011)\, and the Right Livelihood Award (1993)\, which is regarded as the “alternative Nobel Prize”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics and a Masters in biophysics from the University of Barcelona. He was a research fellow at the EMBL-CRG Centre for Genomic Regulation and at the Champalimaud Center for the Unknown in Lisbon. His research spans from the origins of the arrow of time to the neurobiology of action-perception across species\, from flies and worms to mice and humans. Since 2016 he has been the head of the Behavior of Organisms Laboratory at the Instituto de Neurociencias in Alicante\, where he is an Associate Professor of the Spanish Research Council. Combining computational biology and continental philosophy\, his current research concentrates on consciousness in the real world.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 1 - Finding David Bohm - and Beyond

She has exhibited in France\, the Netherlands\, and Italy and her work is held in many private and corporate collections\, including the Irish State Collection.  \n\n\n\nIt has been remarked of Pam’s work\, “In the anti-intellectual climate of today\, it is refreshing to find an artist who is not afraid to ask the big questions and give them some form of visual reality through painting. Although seeing has been the privileged sense in Western aesthetics\, Harris’ art brings the rationalism usually associated with scientific and philosophical concepts into direct contact with aesthetics\, the intuitive and deeply emotional. \n\n\n\n\n…Her achievement is to produce paintings that are not only visually compelling using the minimal means of line and colour\, but that she also manages to convey the fragility of existence in the Heraclitean flux.” \n— (Extract from “Enfolded” by Brenda Moore-McCann\,  Art Historian\, Dublin 2008.  From the catalogue “Enfolded”).\n\n\n\nIn this session\, Pam will share with us some of her contemplations of scientific and philosophical questions—including those of David Bohm—and how those contemplations translate to canvas. If contemporary abstract painting has eluded you\, this is an opportunity to get a first-hand sensibility of how one artist creates such works. \n\n\n\nwww.pamharris.ie \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n‘Union Painting no. 7’.  1999.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 1 - Discovering the Deep Logic of Earth
DESCRIPTION:Discovering the Deep Logic of Earth\n\n\n\nwith Marcia Bjornerud \n\n\n\nSaturday July 209:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nRocks as verbs? Stones with subtle wisdom? Experiencing Earth with the fourth dimension of Deep Time? Marcia Bjornerud is doing in geology what Tim Ingold has done in anthropology and David Bohm has done in physics: make new levels of embodied meaning available to non-specialists while challenging our reflexive perceptions of the world. \n\n\n\nIn this two-hour session\, Dr. Bjornerud will discuss her forthcoming book\, Turning to Stone: Discovering the Subtle Wisdom of Rocks\, as well as her current book\, Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcia Bjornerud (she/her/hers) is Walter Schober Professor of Environmental Studies and Professor of Geosciences at Lawrence University. She is a structural geologist whose research focuses on the physics of earthquakes and mountain building. She combines field-based studies of bedrock geology with quantitative models of rock mechanics. She has done research in high arctic Norway (Svalbard) and Canada (Ellesmere Island)\, as well as mainland Norway\, Italy\, New Zealand\, and the Lake Superior region.   \n\n\n\nBjornerud is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America and has been a Fulbright Senior Scholar at the University of Oslo\, Norway and University of Otago\, New Zealand.   A contributing writer to The New Yorker\, Wired\, the Wall Street Journal and the Los Angeles Times\, she is also the author of several books for popular audiences — Reading the Rocks: The Autobiography of the Earth;  Timefulness: How Thinking Like a Geologist Can Help Save the World and Geopedia: A Brief Compendium of Geologic Curiosities.  Timefulness was longlisted for the 2019 PEN/E.O.Wilson Prize for Literary Science Writing\, and was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize in Science and Technology.  \n\n\n\nEducation:B.S.\, Geophysics\, University of Minnesota\, 1983M.S.\, Structural Geology\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, 1985Ph.D.\, Structural Geology and Rock Mechanics\, University of Wisconsin-Madison\, 1987

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 1 - Inner Freedom and Early Childhood
DESCRIPTION:Inner Freedom and Early Childhood\n\n\n\nwith Elizabeth Henderson \n\n\n\nSunday July 149:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nThe constraints and limitations on inner freedom imposed by contemporary society run broad and deep. As adults\, many of us struggle to establish any significant degree of such freedom\, any enduring sense of true individuality. There are\, however\, strategies and skills which\, if inculcated at an early age\, significantly increase the prospects for inner wholeness and the flowering of creative individuality. In this session\, Dr. Elizabeth Henderson will share with us aspects of her 20 years of engagement with Early Years (Early Childhood) education\, oriented toward a process of nurturing that is fundamentally different from contemporary quantitative educational systems. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Elizabeth Henderson is an experienced practitioner\, manager\, lecturer\, trainer\, and author with more than 40 years of experience in education. For the last 20 years\, she has focussed on the early childhood sector. Using autoethnography as a methodology\, Elizabeth seeks to humanise data to reveal the multiple complexities at work in a practitioner’s relationship with young children and their families. Her current research is on sustainability\, indigenous pathways\, and their relationship to Early Years work. \n\n\n\nAfter completing her Doctorate in Early Childhood Education and Care in 2016 at Sheffield University\, England\, she went on to publish the first book in the Early Years sector on autoethnography – Autoethnography in Early Childhood Education Care: Narrating the Heart of Practice. She has also published further work on sustainability\, outdoor work with young children\, arts-based research in early childhood\, and inclusion and diversity. \n\n\n\nElizabeth is the founder of several innovative projects in Scotland which include: Nature Nurture a project for children under the age of three years from challenging backgrounds\, offering the opportunity to be in Nature and to connect therapeutically with the cycle of the year; and WIGLS\, a Community of Practice to help support practitioners working with Nature and the outdoor context in their Early Years settings. Elizabeth also sowed the seeds that initiated the opening of the first Outdoor Nursery in her local authority\, in Aberdeen\, Scotland. \n\n\n\nElizabeth’s work is underpinned by love and the understanding that we build interior worlds with our children during their early development. She is a mother to two adopted children and grandmother to eight little people.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024\, Part 1 – Thought as a System
DESCRIPTION:Thought as a System\n\n\n\nwith Matthew Capowski\, Melissa Nelson\, Igor Topilsky and Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSaturday July 139:00am PDT  | 12:00pm EDT  | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST 2-hour session. \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nThought as a System is David Bohm’s ur-text pertaining to his views regarding the nature of collective thought. It elucidates core themes of awareness\, collective assumptions\, social conditioning\, dialogue\, fragmentation\, the self-image\, insight\, meaning\, the observer and the observed\, proprioception of thought\, thinking vs. thought\, and many more. \n\n\n\nIn this session our roundtable will open up these various facets of Bohm’s perspective\, both theoretically as well as in terms of direct personal experience. We will invite members of the audience to contribute to the session\, based on their own experience of the many issues raised in this seminal Bohmian text. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew Capowski works in the field of child protection\, with a background in psychology. He is  a lifelong student of Ayurveda. As a teenager he encountered a book that contained interviews with David Bohm\, and would go on to become a serious student of Bohm’s work pertaining to the problems of humanity.  This would lead him to found the David Bohm Society in 2012\, both to ensure preservation of Bohm’s invaluable legacy and to attempt to realize some of Bohm’s proposals by creating living examples.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMelissa K. Nelson is an ecologist and Indigenous scholar-activist. She earned her Ph.D. in ecology at the University of California\, Davis. Formerly a professor of American Indian Studies at San Francisco State University\, she now teaches at Arizona State University in the School of Sustainability\, Global Futures Laboratory. From 1993 to 2021\, she served as the founding executive director and CEO of the Cultural Conservancy. She now serves as their president emerita. Melissa is the Bundle Holder for the Native American Academy. She is a contributor and co-editor of Traditional Ecological Knowledge: Learning from Indigenous Practices for Environmental Sustainability\, published by Cambridge University Press in 2018. She is also a contributor and the editor of Original Instructions: Indigenous Teachings for a Sustainable Future (2008). She is Anishinaabe/Métis/Norwegian and a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIgor Topilsky is an active participant in poetic arts\, music and theatre\, and has spent numerous years working with David Bohm’s dialogue proposals. He has been serving on the board of directors for the David Bohm Society since 2015.  \n\n\n\n\n\nAja Bulla Zamastil is an architectural and landscape architectural designer\, public artist\, and educator. As a Lecturer in the Landscape Architecture and Urbanism graduate program at the University of Southern California\, she leads design studios that address adapting our constructed world to shifting natural and socio-cultural forces. As the Creative Director at Watershed Progressive\, she is responsible for managing and designing landscape projects and educational programs throughout California. These projects explore how we can transform monolithic systems into resilient ecological cycles that re-enchant everyday experience and promote alternative cultural practices. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAja is a contributor to Holoflux: Codex – Form/Movement/Vision inspired by David Bohm (Pari Publishing 2022). She is a founding member of the Pari Holoflux experiments\, and was formerly a student at the Oak Grove School in Ojai\, California\, and Brockwood Park in England.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2024 - Part 1
DESCRIPTION:The Beyond Bohm series is oriented toward sharing unique and unusual perspectives that complement and amplify the work of David Bohm. Now in our fourth year\, we are continuing that tradition with an array of new faces and presenters that we are especially excited about. \n\n\n\nPart 1 \n\n\n\nOur first weekend begins with some “basics”: a roundtable discussion of a foundational Bohm text\, Thought as a System. We are pleased to welcome members of the David Bohm Society into this discussion. The following day\, we will hear from Dr. Elizabeth Henderson\, whose 40 years of work in education suggest multiple perspectives for establishing wholeness in human beings\, from their earliest years. Dr. Henderson uses autoethnography to help illustrate the possibilities and tensions facing practitioners as they try to help children build their interior worlds. \n\n\n\nOur second weekend opens by taking us directly into the “deep time” geology of Dr. Marcia Bjornerud. Here we are asked to sense Earth through the fourth dimension of time\, as a living\, moving\, process-oriented phenomenon. The next day\, abstract artist Pam Harris shares with us the nature of her experience in contemplating scientific and philosophical questions\, and how that experience translates to canvas. \n\n\n\nOur third weekend continues the thread of artistic and scientific complementarity. Artist-engineer Cheryl Brant walks us through the unfolding of her own 40-year artistic process\, and its culmination in questions of consciousness and the living world. Finally\, closing out the series\, Melissa Nelson (Turtle Mountain Chippewa / Métis) and friends will share indigenous perspectives on a variety of culturally-oriented issues and concerns.  \n\n\n\nEvery session will have openings for question / answer and discussion with presenters.Tickets are available for the whole series\, for three presentations of your choice\, or for single presentations. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday July 13Thought as a Systemwith Matthew Capowski\, Melissa Nelson\, Igor Topilsky and Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSunday July 14Inner Freedom and Early Childhoodwith Elizabeth Henderson \n\n\n\nSaturday July 20Discovering the Deep Logic of Earthwith Marcia Bjornerud \n\n\n\nSunday July 21Finding David Bohm – and Beyondwith Pam Harris \n\n\n\nSaturday July 27Science and Art: Squaring the Circlewith Cheryl Brant \n\n\n\nSunday July 28Vortex of Indigenous CosmologiesWith Melissa Nelson and Friends
