Here's a fascinating weekend of dialogue which includes some Open Space Technology. I'll be attending. Feel free to forward this. -- Jeff
THE LANGUAGE OF SPIRITUALITY CONFERENCE A Convergence of Cutting Edge Science and Traditional Wisdom On August 1,2, and 3rd, SEED University presents the Language of Spirituality Conference, a dialogue with Native American elders, quantum physicists, linguists, and other scientists, exploring the connections between the Quantum Realm of Energy and the Native American Spirit Realm. The dialogue is conducted in the tradition of the late David Bohm and the Native American talking stick tradition, with each participant being able to fully express their point of view, with only the moderator reserving the right to interrupt. The Dialogue is moderated by Leroy Little Bear, former Director of Native Studies at Harvard University. Keynote Addresses: "The Awakening of the Global Brain: From Ego-Logue to Dialogue - Ashok Gangadean "Balance in the Dynamic Flux: Perspectives of Native Women" Nancy Maryboy and Polly Walker The Whorf-Sapir Hypothesis: Implications for Perception and Science" Valerie Gremillion Conscious Acts of Creation: The Emergence of a New Physics William Tiller Conference Site: Sheraton Old Town, Albuquerque Admission to the Conference is $295 or $125 for a one-day pass, pending availability.

HISTORY: In 1992, the late David Bohm, famed colleague of Einstein's, and Leroy Little Bear, then Director of Native Studies at Harvard, brought together a meeting of the minds between quantum physicists, Native American scholars and linguists to discuss the underlying principles of the universe, not from an adversarial point of view, but out of mutual respect for the differences in world views. This first dialogue was sponsored by the Fetzer Institute. Since then, a core group of participants, plus occasional guests have continued the dialogue, meeting approximately once a year in various locations. Then, three years ago, under the sponsorship of SEED University, the dialogue was opened to the general public. This year, again, for the third consecutive year, the dialogue returns to Albuquerque to continue a new tradition of open public exchange around these very important issues. ____________________________________________________________________________ _________ Key Contacts: Glenn Parry Executive Director SEED 1700 Atrisco Dr NW Albuquerque, NM 87105 505-792-2900 [email protected] Leroy Little Bear: (Dialogue moderator, has been the moderator of all previous Bohmian Dialogues): (403) 380-2843 [email protected] * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
