The year 2020 forced many of us to deal with our deepest wounds, fears, isolation and uncertainty, among other formidable challenges. Some went down the rabbit hole, while others found resources and resilience and left the old skin behind. How is it that we lose our flow and how can we get it back?
The first step is to better understand the nature of “reality.” We begin with an experience of magic with renowned award-winning illusionist and Guinness world record holder Gastón Quieto, who will take us through an experiential exercise to help us better understand what “reality” is in fact.
We will then talk about uncertainty and flow from a psychological perspective and scientific point of view, as well as explore Buddhist approaches to these concepts.
Finally, we will end with some tools to build a personal roadmap to help us anchor flow in our bodies in the present moment, experience the inner self, and find contentment even in the midst of uncertainty.
Join the Green School for this dynamic and interactive presentation with Vanina Kala Waizmann and Mariana Berenstein, and special guest Gastón Quieto.
Presented by the Program in the Study of Spirituality, in collaboration with the Ruth K. and Shepard Broad Distinguished Lecture Series and the Contemplative Practices in Education Initiative
