"Embodying Integral Consciousness" When: October 4 – October 6, 2013 Where: University of Philosophical Research 3910 Los Feliz Boulevard Los Angeles, CA 90027 (323) 663-2167 Taking a leaf not just from Gebser’s written work but also from his living example, it is the purpose of this conference to explore ways of embodying integrality as a fundamental attitude or bearing (Haltung). To do this it is imperative to avoid the tendency to confuse meta-discourse about integral consciousness with the practical task of actualizing it. Instead, this conference will focus on concrete methods of integral thinking, acting and living. For to embody integrality means to be truly open: to navigate the world not only acategorically—free from restricting mental classifications—but also arationally—free from both irrational faith and rational certitude. In effect, this conference asks: how can we transform the sphere of daily life by being in the world in an authentically integral way?- See more at: http://www.uprs.edu/upr-blog/events/workshops/the-international-jean-gebser-society-forty-third-annual-conference/#sthash.3slclg8q.dpuf Abstracts & proposals: Scholars, scientists, artists, and students are invited to submit abstracts of roughly 500 words describing their presentation or performance and its relevance to the conference theme.
