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. You are cordially invited to join us \n\n\n\nPlease contact Eleanor if you would like more information about this event at: eleanor@paricenter.com \n\n\n\nPresentations\n\n\n\nClick to see a list of the presentations for this event\nSigns and Portents: How Physics Points Beyond Itself into a Richer Reality with Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nThe Turin Shroudwith Jonathan Allday \n\n\n\nCultivating Imaginative Cognition: The Time is at Hand! with Jonathan Code \n\n\n\nPhysics in Flux with Chamkaur Ghag \n\n\n\nEvolution in the Minor Key\, or\, the Soul of Wisdom with Tim Ingold \n\n\n\nWays of Knowing; the Human Imagination as Conduit with Alison MacLeod \n\n\n\nVisionary Mapping: Creating Blakean Worlds with Andrea McLean \n\n\n\nVisionary cartographywith Andrea McLean \n\n\n\nQuantum Measurement as Act of Creation with Shantena Augusto Sabbadini \n\n\n\nA Quest for Wholeness: Weaving a Rich Tapestry Interleaving Science\, the Arts and the Sacred with Joan Walton \n\n\n\nThe Dao Without Namewith Shantena Augusto Sabbadini \n\n\n\n\n\nInformation\n\n\n\nTerms and conditions for this course (PDF) \n\n\n\nAdditional Information about the Pari Center (PDF)

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: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.
