Exploring the Intersection of Wisdom & Psychology

Larger series: This is part of a larger series of explorations delving into the world of psychology and its applications to everyday life.
Topic for this meeting: This workshop explores the intersection of wisdom and psychology, that is, inner psychological work as a kind of “care for the soul,” in a world gone slightly mad. We explore the technologies and visions of both these fields and how their marriage mutually enhances the other leading to the creation of a new animal, well suited to living a life of meaning in an increasingly fragmented and superficial/depth-impoverished world.
Agenda for meeting: We begin our meetings with a warm-up exploration in small groups of 2-3, then move into a brief talk. After the talk, we again gather in small groups of 2-3 to an applied exercise or group exploration, then come back together to share, and have time at end for free form connecting.
Who is it for: This event is free and open to all interested in the topic. Part of the vision of this series of events is the building of a community centered around deeper and more meaningful ways of connecting.
