EMERGENT DIALOGUE
Online Practice Group
with Marianne Rowe, MS, LMFT
Dialogue for Creating a Deep Future
|
|
“Emergent Dialogue can be seen as a synergy or confluence of Mindfulness and Deeptime Perspective.”
— Stephan Martin
Imagine having a conversation in which everyone feels heard, all perspectives are welcomed and respected, and somehow something emerges from the collective that is greater than any of the individuals could have predicted, or even imagined. Emergent Dialogue Practice Sessions offer the opportunity to co-create and practice this relational meditation as we learn to access the power of being together in a shared experience of Deeptime awareness.

QUANTUM WISDOM:
Essential Insights from a Revolutionary Science
with physicist Sarbmeet Kanwal, PhD
Two Sections for Different Times Zones
|
Learn Four Key Science Concepts
Explore Science & Wisdom without Math! :-)
Underlying all matter is the Quantum Vacuum. Alive with restless energy, it is the source from which matter arose 13.8 billion years ago and which still underpins its existence every single moment. These quantum fluctuations of primordial energy spit out and suck back in matter and antimatter particles every instant. The foundation of our universe is kind of a “space-time foam” that seethes with creative potential.

Earthsong: Music and the Earth Community
This resource consists of three sessions, each an hour in length drawing on three contemporary pieces of music, interweaving relevant quotes of Thomas Berry. The goal of the resource is to provide an eco contemplative space for participants to express their own dream for Earth community inspired by a deep listening process to a piece of music. Participants can be led through the process. The resource could alternatively be used by anyone on their own. Each session of the resource is designed to last an hour. If the resource is used with a group of participants each session moves between personal reflection and group interaction. There is time for journalling, art work, quiet time. The music needs to be chosen carefully to achieve the goals of the resource, but other pieces could be selected. The contemplative process incorporated is know as musica divina, sacred listening to a piece of music.

Post by Imogene Drummond:

At the fourth session of our Deeptime Leadership Program, contemplative practitioner Cliff Berrien introduced the principle of Matrix about the embeddedness of relationship. While working at The Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, N.M., Cliff collaborated with the esteemed Rev. Dr. Barbara A. Holmes for several years, and continues to do so. He explored Matrix in relation to Embeddedness, Diversity, Communion, and the Community called Beloved.

Finding Our Home in the Cosmic Story
The cosmic story has grandeur. Its sweeping majesty evokes reverence. It gives us a fundamental context within which we can look for meaning and purpose. But to quell our deep desire for belonging we need to learn to reside in it, to be aligned with its flow. Only then will we know who we are. It is OUR story after all!
|
The generative power that birthed our universe weaves like a thread through the narrative. It gives the story its flow. The story is the medium through which the creative pulse propagates forward in time. And allurement is the essence of that flow. The cosmos has a boundless capacity to generate new forms of attraction and allurement at all levels of being.

Reinventing the Human Species
Thomas Berry's Talk at the Center for Montessori Teacher Education (1986)
|
When we talk about community, we're not just talking about humans and when we talk about education, the primary educator is the natural world itself. . . . The genius is in the total community.
|
-- Thomas Berry, in a talk to CMTE
|
DTN member Judi Bauerlein, former president of the American Montessori Society unearthed a newsletter from 1986 that includes a talk given at the Center for Montessori Teacher Education in New York by thinker, historian, and self proclaimed “geologian” Thomas Berry when he was director of New York’s Riverdale Center. It shows the overlap and resonance of the two giant thinkers: Maria Montessori and Thomas Berry.
