First MeetUp: Book Club of Not Knowing
Details
It makes a vast difference to experientially work it to the best of your ability rather than just hear about it and intellectually understand. (From Ralston's "Pursuing Consciousness")
If you have any interest in consciousness work, contemplation, or discovering who you are, what life is, etc., please read the group description.
Everybody is welcome, no matter the familiarity with the matter, as long as there is a genuine interest.
Our agenda
1. Briefly getting to know each other
2. Individually reading for about 30 minutes. It can be any part of any of Ralston's books or similar material. No need to bring anything.
3. Sharing what we've read and contemplating each part silently for about 5 minutes.
4. More exercises or reading, depending on the sentiment of the group. E.g., dyads, meditation, or etc.
5. Feedback & outlook for future meetups.
6. Open ended socialising for whoever wants.
We won't share the "results" of our contemplations, unless somebody feels the need or thinks it might be valuable for the group. The reason for this is to avoid pressure during the contemplation, that can arise if we know we'll "have to" share what we "achieved".
If anybody wants to attend online, we can make that possible too with a good laptop & speaker.
