Re-enchantment; Synchronicity; the Psychoid Imagination
September 30, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm PDT
Beginning with exercises to assist in suspending everyday attachments to reductive rationality, participants will be encouraged to engage in guided imaginative encounters. These are often marked by a lived experience of wonder so natural in early childhood, but often set aside or suppressed by traditional education. Recovery of the vibrancy of experiences associated with wonder provides access and fosters expansion of eco-spiritual potentials inherent in our souls. Through open discussion amongst participants linking wonder with a wide range of synchronistic experiences, the collective wisdom of the group will be invited to explore the hidden potentials herein for healing of persons, societies, and the ecosphere.
