Pierre Grimes: The Systematic Study of Philosophical Midwifery, online via zoom

Pierre Grimes has shown that the primary cause of a class of human problems lies in the rejection and ignoring of the depth and meaning of the Self. He will present the theory and method for surfacing what he calls the pathologos from his book, Philosophical Midwifery: a new paradigm for understanding human problems, that included its psychological verification by Dr. Regina Uliana. It is recommended that those entering this course review the Power Point Presentation, “PMW and Dreams.”

Rick Repetti: Indian Philosophy for Wisdom in Everyday Life, online via zoom

Enrollment is closed.

Watch short video here.

India is the land of yoga, meditation, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and virtually countless derivative traditions, lineages, and forms of philosophical, spiritual, meditative, and contemplative exploration. Various versions of these philosophies influenced the rest of Asia over the millennia, and in the contemporary era so many forms of yoga, meditation, and Buddhism have become almost as popular in the West as Starbucks. These philosophies mostly aim at self-transformation, inner peace, wisdom, and mental freedom. This course overviews the philosophical frameworks of five of the major philosophical traditions of India, and guides us through the practical techniques – several meditation and related practices – and ways of applying them in our daily lives.
