Circling Dialogos Feb 19 20th!

Dia-Logos & The Circling Method - Online

Come join us for a rare and special experiential opportunity to commune in Dia-Logos with Professor of philosophy & Cognitive Science John Vervaeke PhD, Christopher Mastropietro & Guy Sengstock the originator of the Circling Method.

Dia-Logos names the core principle enacted in the Platonic dialogue in Ancient Greece which opened the ground of intelligibility we, quite literally, live inside of today. Out of this ancient and sacred dialogical practice of Philia-Sophia (Love of friendship - Wisdom) came the organizing principles such as Love, Beauty, Truth and Goodness principles that sourced our practices of religion, science and the humanities that we take for granted today.

What is often forgotten is the Platonic dialogues were a response to Athens burning down in the depth of crisis. Today, like Athens, we are in our own kind of Crisis which John refers to as the meaning crisis. And today we, like ancient Athens, the ancient practice of Dia-Logos is emerging in a new way from the guts of culture as a unique and genuine response to this crisis.

John says about this workshop:

“We need this kind of ACTUAL DIALOGUE because we are suffering from idle talk and bullshit and it’s overwhelming us! What we are offering here is a mind sword that can cut through all of that and get people back together and back in touch with themselves and the world”

In this course John and Guy will, for the first time, bring the reemergence of philosophic dia-logos into a concrete formalized practice making it accessible and available to you and the people in your life right now.

Through John’s cutting edge research as Cognitive Scientist, philosopher and spiritual & religious practitioner and Guy’s 25 years experience at creating and developing the Circling Method they will guide you into this powerful experiential and participatory journey as a beginning to something you can practice for a lifetime.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN THE WORKSHOP?

Through a series of progressive experiential exercises & group practices you will begin to develop skills & abilities that afford genuine Dia-logos. John & Guy will walk you through exercises in the Circling method, philosophic fellowship & philosophic dialectic culminating into group Dia-logos. The supportive learning environment will assist you in developing the capacity to master these deeply challenging exercises.
