SUMMARY:The Future Human - A Conversation with Edi Bilimoria
DESCRIPTION:Watch the recording\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXtitI_wsVc\n\n\n\n\n\nA Conversation between Edi Bilimoria and Àlex Gómez-Marín \n\n\n\nWednesday July 129:00am 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\nA monthly virtual encounter to reckon whence and whither humanity. \n\n\n\nFollowing an hour-long lively and spontaneous dialogue between Alex and his guest\, the session will be open to questions from the audience. \n\n\n\nWhat will the future look like? How will the Future Human live? How will families\, child rearing\, education\, health services\, work\, art\, religion\, love\, science\, language\, storytelling change? And politics\, economics\, government\, and the law? Will we be able to inhabit our planet in harmony\, have sufficient energy\, and afford to eat healthy food? Will we even survive? Can we thrive? These are just some of the topics that will be discussed online at the Pari Center in 2023. \n\n\n\nEach month the Director of the Pari Center\, physicist and neuroscientist Àlex Gómez-Marín\, will be thinking and feeling aloud in the mode of dialogue with a prominent guest for about an hour\, followed by questions and comments from the audience. Pursuing a major theme without rehearsal or script\, they will attempt to engage with ‘that’ which sometimes takes place between (and beyond) two people talking. \n\n\n\nThroughout 2022\, Àlex hosted the very successful conversation series The Future Scientist\, a monthly virtual encounter that aimed to understand where science is going and to reimage where we hope it might go. Maintaining the spirit and the format\, the series will now expand its scope and morph into The Future Human as a natural continuation of the quest to reckon whence and whither humanity. \n\n\n\nThe seventh conversation in this series will be on Wednesday July 12\, 2023 with Edi Bilimoria. Our conversation will orbit around “consciousness and perennial philosophy”. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdi Bilimoria (DPhil\, FIMechE\, FEI\, FRSA). \n\n\n\nBorn in India and educated at the universities of London\, Sussex and Oxford\, Edi Bilimoria presents an unusual blend of experience in the fields of science\, the arts and philosophy. \n\n\n\nProfessionally\, Edi was a consultant engineer to the petrochemical\, oil and gas\, transport\, and construction industries. He was Project Manager and Head of Design for major innovative projects such as the Channel Tunnel\, London Underground systems\, and offshore installations. He also worked in safety and environmental engineering and management for several Royal Navy projects\, including the Queen Elizabeth Aircraft Carrier and the fleet of River-class offshore patrol vessels. Edi’s Rolls-Royce funded doctoral research paper on gas turbine thermofluids was awarded the Thomas Lowe Gray Prize by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He has also received industry ‘recognition of achievement’ and ‘impact achievements’ awards for safety and environmental management of petrochemical complexes and defence projects. \n\n\n\nA student of the perennial philosophy for over half a century\, Edi has given courses and lectured extensively in the UK\, and internationally in California\, the Netherlands\, India\, and Australia. He has organized and chaired conferences in order to encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas in the fields of science\, religion and practical philosophy. He worked as Education Manager for the Theosophical Society in Australia developing courses and study papers\, researching\, lecturing and organizing international conferences; as well as supervising the Research Library\, National Media Library\, National Members Lending Library and the development of the website. \n\n\n\nEdi has published many informative articles and papers in the disciplines of science\, engineering\, and esoteric philosophy. In 2007\, his book The Snake and the Rope was awarded the Book Prize by the Scientific and Medical Network (SMN). In 2023\, this present work\, consisting of four volumes\, was awarded the SMN’s Grand Prize. Applauded by many\, it is considered to be the most penetrating and all-embracing work on consciousness written in decades. \n\n\n\nFor many years Edi was a Board Director of the SMN. He now serves as a Trustee of the SMN and in an advisory capacity to both the Board and the SMN’s Galileo Commission\, a project set up to find ways to expand science and open up public discourse on the subject. \n\n\n\nEdi is also a Trustee and Council Member of the Francis Bacon Society. \n\n\n\nAn enthusiastic glider pilot for many years\, Edi is a choral singer and a dedicated pianist of concert standard. \n\n\n\nThe outcome of Edi’s involvement in music and the perennial philosophy is a discernment of the higher laws governing all life and existence\, at all levels\, and the necessity of striving to live with integrity according to this realization. \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 2023
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Bohm 2023: Part 1 – Changing Meaning / Changing Being\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023: Part 2: Science and Philosophy\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Bohm has been described as one of the most significant and original thinkers of the twentieth century whose interests and influence extend well beyond the field of physics to include philosophy\, psychology\, language\, religion\, art\, creativity\, thought\, and education. Underlying his innovative approach to these many different issues was the fundamental idea that beyond the visible\, tangible world there lies a deeper\, implicate order of undivided wholeness. \n\n\n\nDuring July and August the Pari Center is offering a unique opportunity to hear and dialogue with those involved in the many aspects of David Bohm’s work and to discuss the implications of his ideas for the future. All sessions include audience participation in the form of Q&A and discussion. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023: Part 1 – Changing Meaning / Changing Being \n\n\n\nCurated and Chaired by Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nJuly 16 – 30\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n6-two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nNow in its third year\, Beyond Bohm aims to use multiple aspects of David Bohm’s work as jumping-off points for ongoing inquiry and experiential probings. We are especially happy with this year’s offerings\, and are honored to have more than 30 guest participants for Part 1 (July 16 – 30). \n\n\n\nOur first weekend will open up significant new territory while exploring perennial questions regarding meaning\, consciousness\, dialogue\, and the nature of experience. While organicism\, panpsychism\, and temporal flux are marbled throughout the work of David Bohm\, further perspectives – particularly those of Henri Bergson and Alfred North Whitehead – are brought to bear in our opening session. The following day\, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake brings his own unique perspective to some of these process-oriented questions\, asking\, “Is the Sun Conscious?” \n\n\n\nOur second weekend puts forth multiple perspectives regarding Bohm’s proposals about holoflux and holomovement. These concepts – and what they imply – are foundational for any experiential sense of Bohm’s overall metaphysics. The various perspectives shared across two sessions draw from years of experimentation with the relevance of this aspect of Bohm’s work\, within the actual movement of daily life. \n\n\n\nOur third weekend is a bounty of dialogue. The group of ten women partaking in the Saturday session collectively bring hundreds of years of experience with various dialogical modes. The following day\, Blackfoot elder Leroy Little Bear and multiple guests will once again share with us Leroy’s unique approach to dialogue\, rooted in indigenous world views and sensibilities. \n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSunday July 16Bohm/Bergson/Whitehead: Life as Movementwith Àlex Gómez-Marin\, Lee Nichol\, Hester Reeve \n\n\n\nMonday July 17Is the Sun Conscious?with Rupert Sheldrake \n\n\n\nSaturday July 22Holoflux: The Qualitative Infinity of Naturewith Lee Nichol\, Cheryl Brant\, Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSunday July 23Holoflux: Codexwith Richard Burg\, Eva Casey\, Sky Hoorne\, Maria Hvidbak\, Beth Macy\, Hester Reeve\, Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSaturday July 29The Heart of DialogueDialogue with Jessica Ball\, Trine-Line Biong\, Eva Casey\, Anna Factor\, Sally Jeffery\, Beth Macy\, Marie-Eve Marchand\, Melissa Nelson\, Marjorie Parker\, Susanna Ruebsaat \n\n\n\nSunday July 30The Hidden Science: What Western Science Metrics Don’t Know – And Can’t KnowIndigenous Dialogue with Leroy Little Bear and Jeannette Armstrong\, Greg Cajete\, Marie-Eve Marchant\, Kent Monkman\, Melissa Nelson\, Lee Nichol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023: Part 2 -Science and Philosophy \n\n\n\nwith Jonathan Allday\, Jens Allwood\, Paavo Pylkkänen\, Michael Richter\, William Seager\, David Schrum\, Marij van Strien \n\n\n\nCurated and Chaired by Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nAugust 5 – 6\, 12 – 13\, 26 – 27\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n6-two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nBeyond Bohm 2023 Part two focuses on scientific and philosophical themes.  After an introduction to Bohm’s physics\, the topics include pluralism in science and the relation between Bohm and Paul Feyerabend; the role of mind and consciousness in Bohm’s interpretation of quantum mechanics and in Hugh Everett’s “many worlds” theory; Bohm’s view of the self and the observer; Bohm’s notion of an order between and beyond; and Bohm’s process-oriented view of language. \n\n\n\nProgram of Event\n\n\n\nSaturday August 5Introduction to Bohm’s Physicswith Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nSunday August 6Bohm’s Views on Pluralism in Science and the Relation between Bohm and Paul Feyerabendwith Marij van Strien \n\n\n\nSaturday August 12Maverick Minds: Bohm and Everett on Mind & Consciousnesswith William Seager \n\n\n\nSunday August 13Bohm’s View of the Self and the Observerwith Paavo Pylkkänen \n\n\n\nSaturday August 26David Bohm and an Order Between and Beyond:Toward a New Mind and a New Human Beingwith David Schrum

SUMMARY:Bohm / Bergson / Whitehead:  Life as Movement
DESCRIPTION:Bohm / Bergson / Whitehead:  Life as Movement \n\n\n\nwith Àlex Gómez-Marin\, Hester Reeve\, Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nSunday July 16\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nProcess\, movement\, time\, flux\, consciousness\, memory\, recurrence\, relationality – these elements and more occur in mutually reflective ways in the work of David Bohm\, Henri Bergson\, and Alfred North Whitehead. What resonances emerge when we hold these three bodies of work together? What variances do we discover? In this opening session of Beyond Bohm 2023\, our panel will explore these and other questions. Of particular significance is the fact that all three men intended their insights to be applied and tested in daily life\, rather than remaining purely theoretical. We then pose a further question: How do we make the shift from the abstract idea to the concrete lived quality? \n\n\n\nPlease join us as we initiate new lines of inquiry in the Pari community\, drawing from three profoundly original yet complementary philosophical perspectives. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nÀlex Gómez-Marín is a Spanish physicist turned neuroscientist.

SUMMARY:Is the Sun Conscious?
DESCRIPTION:Is the Sun Conscious? \n\n\n\nwith Rupert Sheldrake \n\n\n\nMonday July 17\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nWe are very happy to have Rupert Sheldrake with us this year\, discussing his landmark paper\, “Is the Sun Conscious?” In Dr. Sheldrake’s reckoning: \n\n\n\nThe recent panpsychist turn in philosophy opens the possibility that self-organizing systems at all levels of complexity\, including stars and galaxies\, might have experience\, awareness\, or consciousness. The organismic or holistic philosophy of nature points in the same direction. Meanwhile\, field theories of consciousness propose that some electromagnetic fields actually are conscious\, and that these fields are by their very nature integrative. When applied to the sun\, such field theories suggest a possible physical basis for the solar mind\, both within the body of the sun itself and also throughout the solar system. If the sun is conscious\, it may be concerned with the regulation of its own body and the entire solar system through its electromagnetic activity\, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections. It may also communicate with other star systems within the galaxy.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRupert Sheldrake\, PhD\, is a biologist and author of more than a hundred technical papers and nine books\, including The Science Delusion. As a fellow of Clare College\, Cambridge\, he was Director of Studies in Cell Biology\, and was also a research fellow of the Royal Society. He worked in Hyderabad\, India\, as Principal Plant Physiologist at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT)\, and also lived for two years in the Benedictine ashram of Fr Bede Griffiths in Tamil Nadu. From 2005-2010\, he was Director of the Perrott-Warrick Project for the study of unexplained human and animal abilities\, funded by Trinity College\, Cambridge. He is currently a fellow of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in Petaluma\, California and of Schumacher College in Dartington\, Devon. He lives in London and is married to Jill Purce\, with whom he has two sons. His web site is www.sheldrake.org.

SUMMARY:Holoflux: The Qualitative Infinity of Nature
DESCRIPTION:Holoflux: The Qualitative Infinity of Nature \n\n\n\nwith Lee Nichol\, Cheryl Brant\, Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSaturday July 22\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nWhile Bohm’s work in physics and dialogue is well-established\, new threads are emerging that attempt to take us deeper into the living substance and import of his metaphysics. What do we find when we peer beyond his foundational terms holoflux / holomovement? Is it possible to move out from the texts of Bohm’s books\, and into the living world? Is there something that can be directly engaged through ongoing experimentation? In this session we will propose that there is a living actuality pointed to by Bohm\, akin to what he described as “the qualitative infinity of nature.” We will explore two aspects of a multi-year holoflux inquiry — rheosoma (the flowing body) and holosoma (the body of the whole). From the outset\, however\, it is important to keep such terms experimental\, enigmatic. What then emerges is not a model\, system\, or practice\, but a process of open-ended embodiment in which the path is created while walking. \n\n\n\nThis session will serve as an introduction to a two-day program of the same name\, offered by the Pari Center on September 23 and 24\, 2023\, open to people who have not participated in any previous Holoflux programs through Pari. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol is a freelance writer and editor. His latest works are Entering Bohm’s Holoflux and\, as editor\, Holoflux: Codex – Form / Movement / Vision inspired by David Bohm (both from Pari Publishing). He was a long-time friend and collaborator of David Bohm\, and is editor of Bohm’s On Dialogue\, The Essential David Bohm\, and On Creativity. \n\n\n\nLee has been on the faculty of the Arthur Morgan School in Celo\, North Carolina; the Oak Grove School in Ojai\, California; the Tibetan Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, California; and Denver University in Denver\, Colorado. He sits on the Advisory Committee of the Pari Center\, the Advisory Council of the Indigenous Education Institute\, and is a member of the Founding Circle of the Native American Academy. He lives in Albuquerque\, New Mexico with his wife Eva Casey. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCheryl Brant \n\n\n\nCheryl’s work finds her at the intersection of art and science. Her formal education began with a Bachelor of Science in Art\, and then continued with an MFA in sculpture. Her professional life has been in engineering for the past 36 years. First\, in geotechnical engineering with Herbst & Associates\, and for the past 22 years in Structural\, Civil\, and Coastal engineering with Moffatt & Nichol. The last six years have focused on visualizations for ship simulations. Her artwork has been exhibited in small galleries through the years. Cheryl is a founding member of the Pari Holoflux experiments. \n\n\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\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.

SUMMARY:Holoflux: Codex
DESCRIPTION:Holoflux: Codex \n\n\n\nwith Richard Burg\, Eva Casey\, Sky Hoorne\, Maria Hvidbak\, Beth Macy\, Hester Reeve\, Aja Bulla Zamastil \n\n\n\nSunday July 23\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nIn late summer of 2020\, through the Pari Center\, a small group of people began an applied experiment into the nature of David Bohm’s holoflux (see session description for July 22\, 2023). Midway through this inquiry\, a number of the group formally presented some of their experiences regarding holoflux\, rheosoma\, and holosoma. These accounts led to the publication of a book\, Holoflux: Codex (Pari Publishing\, 2022)\, that carried the inquiry one step further. In this session\, the contributors to the book will share some of that work and discuss their creative process. The conversation\, however\, will not be limited to an artifact (the book)\, but will also address the ongoing process of engaging with the holoflux experiment. What is the nature of this inquiry? What impact does it have in daily life? What has inspired people to sustain this inquiry? Where does it stand after three years? \n\n\n\nThe editor’s introduction to Holoflux: Codex is available as here: https://paricenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/pp.5-9-15.pdf \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Burg – In 2003 I retired from consulting\, my fourth career (IT\, potter\, Continuing Medical Education research). Simple Idea worked with corporate leaders to integrate human values and productivity in a constantly changing environment – engaging with teams and individuals to build relationships within the organization that nurture the humanity in everyone\, even as they work together to achieve audacious goals. \n\n\n\nIn 1990 a friend sent me a transcript of a talk given by David Bohm at MIT. In my organization development practice – focused on changing corporate cultures – group work was a built-in aspect of the process. Bohm’s dialogue experiment was thus enticing\, and I discovered a Bohmian dialogue group in the San Francisco Bay Area\, which I attended weekly for the next eight years. Stemming from that group\, Lee Nichol and I designed a nine-hour\, multi-day introduction to Bohm’s experiment at the first National Conference on Dialogue and Deliberation in Washington DC. I have since engaged in dialogue in many different contexts – most recently\, like many\, in online dialogues\, before and during the covid pandemic. \n\n\n\nEarly on in my dialogue work\, I received permission to transcribe the little pamphlet\, Dialogue: A Proposal (D. Bohm\, D. Factor\, and P. Garrett) and post it online via colleagues at MIT. It is still available\, in multiple “versions\,” some with several addenda/commentaries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEva Casey is a freelance artist who works in ceramics\, metal\, paint media\, and graphic design. A detail of her painting “Heliac” is featured as the cover of Holoflux: Codex. Eva formerly taught at Cañada Community College and the Tibetan Nyingma Institute\, both in Berkeley\, California.

Currently she is focused on ceramic sculptures\, drawings\, paintings\, and on making complex issues digestible to a broader\, non-academic public. Rooted in her life philosophy of ‘active context’/’contexting’\, Sky attempts to make ‘inscendental’ works of art\, in which the viewer is invited to step into the subject by appealing to their primal imagination and subtle participation. This approach involves free play with clichés\, perspectives\, and polarities.

While not settling with any professional title or given field of study\, Maria is engaged with questions pertaining to “communication\,” as understood according to its etymological root sense of “moving together.” Increasingly inspired by what is commonly recognized as an attitude of the artist\, seeking into subtleties of philosophy and sports as well as experimenting with creative expressions…all become modes of exploring what can possibly be “moved together” with. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeth Macy  The common thread weaving through Beth’s career has been change\, having been a manager\, leader\, consultant or participant in organizations experiencing difficult issues: organizations from small to large\, private to public\, non-profit to profit\, health care to oil and gas\, local to global.

SUMMARY:The Heart of Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:The Heart of Dialogue \n\n\n\nwith Jessica Ball\, Trine-Line Biong\, Eva Casey\, Anna Factor\, Sally Jeffery\, Beth Macy\, Marie-Eve Marchand\, Melissa Nelson\, Marjorie Parker\, Susanna Ruebsaat \n\n\n\nSaturday July 29\, 20239:00am PDT | 12:00pm EDT | 5:00pm BST  |  6:00pm CEST \n\n\n\n2-hour session \n\n\n\nThe session is live and you will be sent the RECORDING. \n\n\n\nWhat is the heart? In physiology\, as far back as human records go\, heart has been thought of as the core of the physical body\, the sine qua non of life. Metaphorically\, the heart has been considered as that which brings about the coursing of spirit\, meaning and emotion throughout one’s person\, one’s relationships and one’s community. It is the flow of life at both individual and collective spheres. David Bohm’s description of dialogue also refers to an essential flow: that of “meaning moving through.” Does dialogue\, as well\, have a heart\, an essential core\, through which a developing meaning flows? What might emerge as our all-women dialogue gestates this question? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo see the Full Beyond Bohm program\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJessica Ball is a creative facilitator dedicated to working towards positive social and environmental change through transformative learning\, dialogue and the value of creativity. Jessica has worked with a diverse range of organisations across sectors from corporate and international development to education and charities. She is currently studying a PhD in ecolinguistics at the University of Gloucestershire\, under the supervision of Professor Arran Stibbe\, author and founder of the International Ecolinguistics Association. Jessica is researching ‘the body\, nature and dialogue’\, an exploration of ecological identity. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrine-Line Biong\, a trained actor\, director and coach\, joined as chief editor in the Flux Foundation in 1997. Initially\, her main role was the publication of Flux Magazine\, and subsequently the books that would come out under the Flux imprint. In 2009 Trine-Line and Christian Valentiner\, an experienced facilitator and organisational development consultant\, decided to turn some of the subject matter on dialogue into experiential programs. Over the course of the following years hundreds of people have been trained as dialogue practitioners and facilitators under the Flux brand. \n\n\n\nToday\, she is the general manager of flux www.flux.no \, which is a publishing house and also works with courses and programs around dialogue. Important areas for all work in Flux are awareness-raising and communication. Some of the ongoing projects are prison dialogue and from autumn 2023\, Flux will also become a collaboration partner with the Nobel Peace Center and will deliver dialogue courses on a regular basis. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEva Casey is a freelance artist who works in ceramics\, metal\, paint media\, and graphic design. A detail of her painting “Heliac” is featured as the cover of Holoflux: Codex. Eva formerly taught at Cañada Community College and the Tibetan Nyingma Institute\, both in Berkeley\, California. She is a mother of two\, and a grandmother of two. She lives in Albuquerque\, New Mexico with her husband\, Lee Nichol. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnna and her husband\, Don Factor\, were longtime friends and supporters of David Bohm and the process of dialogue he envisioned. Don had first met Bohm in the 1970s in London\, and the two continued their friendship from that time on. It was their early acquaintance that led to inviting Bohm to be interviewed by Don at the Human Unity Conference – a large gathering of people from many different spiritual traditions – held at Warwick University\, in March of 1983. Following the enthusiastic response to this interview\, Bohm was invited to present more of his thinking at a weekend conference held in Mickleton\, England. It was during the ensuing weekend that what is considered to have been the very first Bohmian dialogue occurred. The transcript of the weekend has been preserved by Don Factor in the book\, Unfolding Meaning. \n\n\n\nFollowing that weekend\, Anna and Don began offering their home for dialogues among those who had been so inspired by the initial dialogue idea\, and along with Peter and Jenny Garrett and David and Saral Bohm\, they organized public dialogues at many locations across western Europe\, Scandinavia\, and Israel during the late 1980s. Stemming from these early dialogues is the well-known publication by Bohm\, Don Factor and Peter Garrett\, “Dialogue\, A Proposal” which still is considered a cornerstone description of Bohm’s intention for dialogue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSally Jeffery was introduced to the teachings of J. Krishnamurti while a young undergraduate in Sociology. Through involvement with his international school in England\, she met and was deeply impressed by David Bohm (a founding trustee of the school) and\, later\, his proposals for dialogue. \n\n\n\nOver three decades\, she has taken part in dialogue in many settings\, including prisons and her local (Lancaster) dialogue group. Involvement in two online dialogue groups began in 2018/19\, but since the pandemic and through the Lancaster group website\, others have been in contact\, expressing interest and wanting to start new ​online groups to explore David Bohm’s thinking in practice.  \n\n\n\nDuring this same period\, Sally was employed as a body work therapist\, including over 20 years working with people who’d had a cancer diagnosis\, along with their families. A leaning to such work might suggest she would take less readily to online dialogue\, missing the physical presence of the other participants. After initial hesitation\, this has proved not to be the case. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBeth Macy  The common thread weaving through Beth’s career has been change\, having been a manager\, leader\, consultant or participant in organizations experiencing difficult issues: organizations from small to large\, private to public\, non-profit to profit\, health care to oil and gas\, local to global. David Bohm’s dialogue has been core to her research\, writing\, consulting and teaching for nearly three decades. Living in the USA (Texas) she is completing a book on the ideas and individuals who influenced Bohm’s methodology of dialogue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMarie-Eve Marchand has a Ph.D. in adult education\, a field she studied while in charge of the professional development of Executives in the Public Service of Canada. She wrote her Ph.D. thesis on Bohm’s dialogue based on an action-research with a group of senior managers. She joined forces with a colleague at Laval University in Quebec\, Canada\, who had also written his dissertation on Bohm dialogue. For 14 years\, they created and taught courses aimed at helping managers lead more consciously by introducing them to meditation\, stages of human development\, theories of complexity and Bohm dialogue. Marie-Eve considers the skills of dialogue as essential in our world battling unprecedented challenges of high complexity. Her view is that Bohm dialogue –in the form he himself proposed — is more appropriate for people who have done a good measure of psycho-spiritual work. However\, she considers that dialogue skills ought to be taught and exemplified in many different ways in order to reach people with different levels of self-knowledge and openess. She is the author of Vivre en dialogue à l’ère du texto\, published by Les Presses de l’Université Laval\, in 2019. The same year\, the Academy of Professional Dialogue published an English translation of the book The Spirit of Dialogue in a Digital Age. \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\nMarjorie Parker: Fifty years ago\, en route to New York after doing volunteer work in Palestine\, I made a quick pitstop in Norway to visit a friend. I never left. Funnily enough as fate will have it\, I met a Norwegian\, not here in Norway\, but at a creativity conference in Buffalo\, N.Y.  He later became my husband and business partner. \n\n\n\nI have been officially retired for several years\, but I often have conversations around the kitchen table with consultants searching for new ways to support dialogue and creativity in their client organizations. A few years ago\, Anna Pool and I co-authored Creating Futures that Matter Today – Facilitating Change through Shared Vision. We described methodologies and experiences with integrating dialogue and processes for creating shared vision\, and the exciting breakthroughs achieved when using these in combination. \n\n\n\nOtherwise here in Norway\, my life as a soon-to-be 85 year old is enriched by having a son with family nearby\, a mountain cabin\, a loving dog\, access to cultural activities\, a long-standing dialogue group\, good friends and legs that still allow for hiking. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSusanna Ruebsaat\, PhD\, BCATR\, RCC\, RCC-ACS (Provisional) is a registered art therapist and clinical counselor\, supervisor and doctoral mentor at City University\, Vancouver\, BC. She has been in practice for 25 years. She has a background in Jungian theory and practice and is also interested in further exploring Existential Psychoanalysis in its endeavour to engage rather than fear the unknown\, understanding the unknown as the necessary condition for creativity. \n\n\n\nSusanna has one book published: Mourning the Dream/Amor Fati. An Illustrated Mythopoetic Inquiry\, and is working on her second: I Myself am a Dream. Growing Down into Our Mythological Roots. \n\n\n\nShe writes\, ”Our demons hold\, as do our dreams\, deep pools of our archetypal life to be reflected upon. Archetypal would include ancestral. If we can be with our own hauntings those of other people might seem less ferocious.
