Beyond Mindfulness: Embodying Freedom in Space and Time (Every Wednesday)
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Since the Age of Enlightenment, modernity has inculcated a view of identity that
separates the mind from the world, and in which space and time are considered
nothing more than convenient maps and background mediums for human affairs.
This separation from both the natural world and our natural intelligence has
resulted in increasing alienation, spatial crowding and temporal acceleration,
culminating in a climate crisis with its destabilizing effects on economies and the
potential for civilizational collapse. It's almost as if space and time and even
knowledge have turned against us. While mindfulness techniques have helped
people to reduce their stress and anxiety in a world out of balance, we need more
than palliatives and coping skills. The meta-crisis that we face is partly due to a
failure in our ability to see how our ways of knowing, being and acting are short-
sighted and have bound us to repetitive cycles of suffering. We lack a vision that
can helps us to use knowledge to embody space and time in ways that promote
the growth of freedom.
In this course, we will engage in a new kind of inquiry, using Tarthang Tulku's
seminal book, Time, Space, and Knowledge. We will explore Space, Time and
Knowledge as fundamental facets of human experience, offering visionary
pathways for expanding our natural intelligence, intrinsic freedom and direct
nourishment of our humanity. The course will utilize weekly readings, discussions
and practice of exercises.
