SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2026 - Part 1\, Weekend 1: Into the Blue
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Bohm 2026 – Part 1: Meaning / Cosmology / Poetics \n\n\n\nInto the Blue\n\n\n\nWith Lee Nichol\, Bruce Alderman & friends \n\n\n\nSaturday and Sunday\, July 4 and 5\, 20269am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST \n\n\n\n2 two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe recently-released Into the Blue: Chasing the Spirit of David Bohm is an account of fifty years of experimentation with David Bohm’s metaphysical perspectives. It is not a book of physics\, nor is it a book of abstract philosophy. It is the distillation of practical\, experiential engagements with core aspects of Bohm’s worldview: wholeness and fragmentation\, the self-image\, thought as a system\, meaning\, dialogue\, soma-significance\, and the implicate order. \n\n\n\nOver 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. \n\n\n\nWe will be joined by friends who have been participating in a group exploration of the weekend’s themes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol is Director of Bohmian Studies at the Pari Center. He was a friend and colleague of David Bohm\, and is editor of Bohm’s On Creativity\, The Essential David Bohm\, and On Dialogue. He has been on the faculty of Denver University in Denver\, Colorado\, and the Tibetan Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, California. \n\n\n\nLee’s latest book is Into the Blue: Chasing the Spirit of David Bohm\, his account of 50 years of experimentation with Bohm’s metaphysics. He is a founding member of the experimental Pari Center Holoflux group. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBruce Alderman is the associate director of the Blue Sky Leaders Program at California Institute of Integral Studies\, a faculty with the Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Transformation program at National University\, and author of several forthcoming books\, including Feeling Fully Alive\, Giving Voice to Time and Space\, and Unfolding the Senses. He has followed David Bohm’s work since reading Wholeness and the Implicate Order in the early 1980s.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2026 - Part 1\, Weekend 2: Exploring a Bohmian Poetics
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Bohm 2026 – Part 1: Meaning / Cosmology / Poetics \n\n\n\nExploring a Bohmian Poetics\n\n\n\nWith Lee Nichol\, Bruce Alderman\, Hester Reeve\, Richard Burg & friends \n\n\n\nSaturday and Sunday\, July 11 and 12\, 20269am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST \n\n\n\n2 two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReaching back into antiquity\, the notion of poiesis has a long and rich history. Originally it alluded to “creation\,” as in an art object\, or poetry. In contemporary usage poiesis has come to indicate the movement by which something emerges from concealment into living presence\, and the degree to which that movement expresses truth\, or wholeness. This could be a carving\, or a cloud\, or an automobile\, or a concept. \n\n\n\nThis 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? \n\n\n\nOur intention here is long-term – to open up multiple new ways of experiencing and expressing the arc of David Bohm’s lifework. As in our first weekend\, friends who are exploring this territory will join us and share their perspectives. \n\n\n\n2 Hours\, including Q & A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol is Director of Bohmian Studies at the Pari Center. He was a friend and colleague of David Bohm\, and is editor of Bohm’s On Creativity\, The Essential David Bohm\, and On Dialogue. He has been on the faculty of Denver University in Denver\, Colorado\, and the Tibetan Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, California. \n\n\n\nLee’s latest book is Into the Blue: Chasing the Spirit of David Bohm\, his account of 50 years of experimentation with Bohm’s metaphysics. He is a founding member of the experimental Pari Center Holoflux group. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBruce Alderman is the associate director of the Blue Sky Leaders Program at California Institute of Integral Studies\, a faculty with the Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Transformation program at National University\, and author of several forthcoming books\, including Feeling Fully Alive\, Giving Voice to Time and Space\, and Unfolding the Senses. He has followed David Bohm’s work since reading Wholeness and the Implicate Order in the early 1980s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHester Reeve is an artist whose practice encompasses live art\, drawing\, sculpture\, poetry and David Bohm’s ‘Dialogue.’ Venues hosting public works include former Randolph Street Gallery Chicago\, LIVE Biennale Vancouver\, BONE Performance Festival Switzerland\, Tate Britain (under the umbrella of The Emily Davison Lodge)\, Philosophy on Stage at Halle G Vienna\, Nirox Sculpture Park South Africa and\, most recently\, Flat Time House London (as part of the group /origin\forward/slash\ and in association with The Centre for Philosophy and Art\, Kings College). The first monograph of her work\, Ymedaca\, was published by Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2015. \n\n\n\nHester is Reader in Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam University UK. She is a contributor to Holoflux: Codex (Pari Publishing)\, and is a founding member of the experimental Pari Center Holoflux group. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Burg \n\n\n\nIn 2003 I retired from consulting\, my fourth career (IT\, potter\, Continuing Medical Education research).  My company 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 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.

SUMMARY:Beyond Bohm 2026 – Part 1\, Weekend 3: Unfolding the Senses
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Bohm 2026 – Part 1: Meaning / Cosmology / Poetics \n\n\n\nUnfolding the Senses\n\n\n\nWith Bruce Alderman\, Brian Swimme\, John Vervaeke\, and Lee Nichol \n\n\n\nSaturday and Sunday\, July 18 and 19\, 20269am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST \n\n\n\n2 two-hour sessions \n\n\n\nAll sessions are live\, and include Q & A\, and all participants will receive the RECORDING. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur 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. \n\n\n\nTwo special conversations will deepen this inquiry: with mathematical cosmologist Brian Thomas Swimme (Saturday)\, whose work on cosmogenesis situates embodied perception within the creative arc of a time-developmental universe; and with cognitive scientist and philosopher John Vervaeke (Sunday)\, whose account of the meaning crisis and participatory knowing illuminates why the perceptual transformations at the heart of this work are both personally and collectively urgent. \n\n\n\nTogether\, these encounters invite us to sense how a Bohmian poetics — a calling forth of form and meaning — might unfold through the living body\, across deep time\, and into our most pressing contemporary challenges. \n\n\n\n2 Hours\, including Q & A \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBruce Alderman is the associate director of the Blue Sky Leaders Program at California Institute of Integral Studies\, a faculty with the Consciousness\, Psychology\, and Transformation program at National University\, and author of several forthcoming books\, including Feeling Fully Alive\, Giving Voice to Time and Space\, and Unfolding the Senses. He has followed David Bohm’s work since reading Wholeness and the Implicate Order in the early 1980s. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrian Swimme is Director of the Center for the Story of the Universe and a professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oregon in 1978 for work in gravitational dynamics. \n\n\n\nDr. Swimme is the author of The Hidden Heart of the Cosmos and The Universe is a Green Dragon. He is co-author of The Universe Story\, which is the result of a ten year collaboration with cultural historian Thomas Berry. Dr. Swimme is also the creator of three educational video series: Canticle to the Cosmos\, The Earth’s Imagination\, and The Powers of the Universe. Most recently he co-wrote and hosted the 60 minute film Journey of the Universe\, broadcast on PBS television stations nationwide. \n\n\n\nHe lectures widely and has presented at conferences sponsored by the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, The World Bank\, UNESCO\, The United Nations Millennium Peace Summit\, and the American Museum of Natural History. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Vervaeke is a cognitive scientist and award-winning educator at the University of Toronto\, where he has taught in Psychology and the Cognitive Science Program since 1994. His teaching awards include the Students’ Administrative Council & Association of Part-time Undergraduate Students Teaching Award (2001) and the Ranjini Ghosh Excellence in Teaching Award (2012). His research and publications span relevance realization\, general intelligence\, mindfulness\, metaphor\, and wisdom\, oriented toward addressing the contemporary “meaning crisis.” \n\n\n\nBeyond the classroom\, Vervaeke is widely known for the 50-episode public lecture series Awakening from the Meaning Crisis\, which synthesizes cognitive science\, philosophy\, and contemplative traditions to diagnose and respond to modern disconnection. This was followed by his second series After Socrates\, a series on dialectic-into-dialogos: training wisdom through practices\, virtue cultivation\, and participatory knowing for meaning beyond belief. \n\n\n\nHe co-authored the open-access book Zombies in Western Culture: A Twenty-First Century Crisis (Open Book Publishers\, 2017) with Christopher Mastropietro and Filip Miscevic\, an interdisciplinary study using the zombie figure to illuminate cultural alienation and the loss of shared frameworks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLee Nichol is Director of Bohmian Studies at the Pari Center. He was a friend and colleague of David Bohm\, and is editor of Bohm’s On Creativity\, The Essential David Bohm\, and On Dialogue. He has been on the faculty of Denver University in Denver\, Colorado\, and the Tibetan Nyingma Institute in Berkeley\, California. \n\n\n\nLee’s latest book is Into the Blue: Chasing the Spirit of David Bohm\, his account of 50 years of experimentation with Bohm’s metaphysics. He is a founding member of the experimental Pari Center Holoflux group.
