Power & Spirituality: Wisdom, Reason and Wild Thought

In this series of events I would like to explore the relationship of power and spirituality with you.

This time we are going to dive into the question of what really is at the core of finding clarity in our lives. Commonly it is assumed to be reason or rationality, which is supposed to help us to learn about reality and draw right conclusions. But how true ist that, really? What are the limits to that approach?

Could it be that wisdom and embodied and holistic understanding often are underestimated when relying on the intellect? Have ways of thinking like "wild thought" and "magical thinking" - which are often thought to be outdated ways of thinking - something to teach us?

Could it be true that other ways of understanding the world have been dominated by a culture of (seeming?) rationality on the one hand and consumerism and naive make-belief on the other hand?

How is all of that relevant in your day-to-day life?

Feel free to bring the topics that are dear to you heart so that we can include them into our exploration.

The location is the "Schwarze Katze" (easy to recognize by the black cat symbol) at Fettstraße 23, near the Christuskirche subway station.
When you enter the basement entrance, you’ll find us on the left in the group room.

About the location:
The Schwarze Katze is a space for various social libertarian groups (such as the FAU union) and has a mostly German library offering a selection of books that critically engage with the topic of power, especially anarchism, but also feminism, education, and many other related subjects.
