Making Sense of Your Past, Freeing Yourself in the Present,and Constructing a Creative Future by Dr. Dan Siegel

Description

The Brahma Kumaris Meditation Center's spiritually-enriching monthly workshop for men will feature a presentation by award-winning educator Dr. Dan Siegel on," Making Sense of Your Past, Freeing Yourself in the Present and Constructing a Creative Future"

Our sense of a "we" is born from these earliest ways in which we "feel felt" within the mind of our caregivers. Seeing the connections between the mind, the embodied brain, and our relationships lets us come to view the "self" as a plural verb rather than a singular noun. Being open to one's own inner life with kindness, connecting to another person, being a part of a group, being a member of a larger community, and having a sense of meaning that emerges from interconnections with a larger whole each form the foundation for a sense of "we" that is at the core of what can be called a spiritual life. We'll explore a fundamental principle of "integration," the linkage of differentiated parts, that can illuminate how each of these foundational layers contributes to a sense of transpiration in which the "self" is expanded beyond the boundaries of the body and a compassionate membership in a larger interconnected whole becomes
a way of being in the world.

Light refreshments will be served. The event is free of charge.
