More Wise: How to Practice Wisdom (Online - Sat & Sun)

The course will cover a theory of wisdom and a practical guide on how to explore and build your own ecology of practices.

Why a Theory of Wisdom?

In order to “feel better” in your body, you make choices that offer comfort. But cognitive distortions and confusions lead to choices that don’t make sense: procrastination, addiction, spiritual bypassing, etc. Another word for this process is foolishness.

Wisdom is the antidote to foolishness.

Respond’s theory of wisdom offers principles that explain the activity of becoming “more wise” from within a scientific worldview. The theory is a compression of vast and wide-ranging work, and enables you to talk about wisdom in plain language.

Why develop an Ecology of Practices?

Wisdom Practices put the theory into action—they are tools that help us become more wise.

The “More Wise” course outlines four capacities that allow you to navigate complexity and increase meaning in your life. An Ecology of Practices (EoP) is like a workout routine—you use specific machines at the gym to work groups of muscles. Taken together, this process unlocks your genetic potential to say, compete in an Triathlon. A well rounded EoP helps you access your personal wisdom and participate more skillfully in the game of life.
