The Pattern that Connects; Becoming Indigenous to a Place

by Dr. Bob Dozor

Write your awesome label here.

Are we on the brink of ecological disaster? Climate disruption is accelerating. Social cohesion is frayed. There is hope and opportunity to restore our planet, “a great turning,” but we may also have to go through “a great unravelling.” Buddhist Contemplative practice, western Philosophy, Science and Literature, and the wisdom of Indigenous people will inform our inquiry into how we and the whole web of life on Earth can live and prosper into the far future.
Our learning objective is to engage environmental crisis through Contemplative Ecology, including meditative and contemplative practices and exercises from Tarthang Tulku. We will explore Anthropology, Psychiatry, Evolution, Epistemology, Systems and Complexity theory, the Wisdom of Plants, Indigenous ritual, Buddhist Philosophy and Western Phenomenology.

Testimonials

Thank you for such a wonderful class and I look forward to hearing how we go forward.”

I really appreciate that the concept of Embodied Cognition is helping me to bring together some different areas of interest/knowledge into a more coherent whole, transparentizing and dissolving the partitions between them, helping me to see connections.”
