Over the course of this weekend, we will inquire into these themes, and how anyone can pursue these questions in real-life ways. Of particular focus, we will outline new ways of understanding Bohm’s emphasis on somatic experience. Among these are rheosoma (the flowing body) and the open organism, an exploratory mode of recovering the innate depth of human being.
This weekend we will take up three questions. First, in what ways can we think of David Bohm’s framework of implicate and explicate orders as poiesis, as revealing the coming-into-being of the human and natural worlds? Second, in what ways are human beings participants in this implicate/explicate movement of poiesis? And finally, the poetics: how can we think about and embody these questions – what can literature, song, painting, conversation, philosophy, and contemplative arts reveal about unfolding meaning?
Our final weekend explores how the sensibility cultivated across the first two weekends — the felt encounter with rheosoma and organismic being — might extend into the domains of perception, cosmology, and the renewal of meaning. Bruce Alderman, drawing from his forthcoming book Unfolding the Senses, will introduce the territory where Bohm’s vision meets the phenomenology of the senses, inviting participants to explore felt sense, motility, and vision as concrete pathways into embodied wholeness.
This creative workshop will guide participants through a series of Clean Language* questions to facilitate an imaginative process that will allow each person to create (by drawing, annotating and speaking in response to the questions) a personal metaphor, grounded in their own physical, cultural and creative experience.Â
