Dear Barbara, Welcome to the deeptime perspective! As you note, each being has agency and is  ensouled by cosmogenesis to dream. Great work you were doing animating people beyond your state and comfort level.  Networking is a critical capacity for us to engage now, we can transcend boundaries and nations through our networking, even from our h…[Read more]

Cataclysm: Our defining moment, standing at the threshold, the precipice , looking at a horizon, we often name as the Ecozoic era.  My point in my invitation was not to name  a recent event , e.g. election, as called “cataclysm”, but to name it as another event in the larger scheme of things, our context.  A sign of the times of our overar…[Read more]

thank you Di and Noha for your reflections and i deeply appreciate the three points of intersection…..it will help me to distinguish and be able to respond when and if a torrent of sentences come my way in the future.

I always think of epistemology as two sides of the same coin….understanding and praxis..the understanding being the kind of…[Read more]

Hello Noha and Di

When I am using the term integral in my mind……..it is what the name of the experience/sense of unity is called. (you can see the search of that sense in my PhD in the resource section. Its also in other documents I have on DTJ.
I am somewhat familiar with the work of Ken Wilbur but he has not shaped my thought process.…[Read more]

Perhaps I will just have to take the leap! For example, this weekend….our college is going to show a film “the world before her’..taking the lives of two young Indian women…one entering a Miss India pageant (supposedly to be free of the constraints of patriarchal society????) and one entering a fundamental militant Hindu ‘boot camp”. (to…[Read more]

Greetings all from Mumbai
This is great information for classroom teachers fostering tolerance inside the classroom and so so hopeful. I am also interested in our teaching forms aside from schools…eg family, work and recreation. I live in India and , as the world over, the politics of separation….othering , difference etc etc are gaining…[Read more]

Greetings all!  I just tried to upload my document on Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm in the Context of an Evolutionary Universe but it would not ‘take’.  Will try again tomorrow.  IPP is the pedagogy associated with Jesuit schools internationally and was developed reflecting the integral spirituality of St Ignatius of Loyola.  Unfortunatly, the pra…[Read more]

Thank you Jennifer and Imogene, Andrea, and Laura! It feels as if we are starting from scratch in our understanding of ‘pedagogy’, the form of education in schools.  The other forms of education are in family, work and recreation.  Imogene- you and other artists have a huge role as art spans all four educational forms!!!!  I think all of us can re…[Read more]

Thank you very much Jennifer for starting this discussion and for the insights so far from our group Angela, Teri, and Duane. Duane, can I take a copy of the book to India? I can share it with the head of the Jesuit Education Association who is most appreciative of all of this and was just recently in Rome. The students loved the documents you…[Read more]
