Our Transformational Courses
At various times in history, people began to question the underpinnings of the very reality into which they had been born. It was not that long ago when peoples believed that the earth was stationary and that the sun, moon and stars circled the earth -- referred to as a geocentric model of the universe. Common experience seemed to confirm that belief. Using a rather crude telescope, Galileo successfully challenged that belief with the words “It moves.”.
In the march of science, the very same thing occurred in other areas. Scientists began to question the explanatory model or paradigm by which certain phenomena are understood. The phenomenon of light, for example, was one such case. In the course of conducting numerous experiments, scientists came to realize that light could be understood as either a wave or particle depending on how the experiment was conducted. In other words, light had a dual nature.
Similarly, common experience leads us to believe that there exists within each of us a discrete personal self. Recent brain research is beginning to call into question whether there is “anybody” in there at all. There may only exist a phenomenal self, literally a virtual self, which we take to be who we really are. That firm belief in knowing ourselves as an isolated subject then eclipses any other possibility of being and way of knowing ourselves.
By means of interactive dialogue within a group setting, our transformational programmes conduct a rigorous and thorough inquiry into the nature of what it means to be human, and consider whether evolution is relevant any longer and an active force in our lives. As we dispel the many myths about the nature of “self” we set the stage for an unimaginable transformation. We come to find out that evolution is not done with us at all.
