Friends,
Join me and Dr Julian Norris (Canada) in "WILD DREAMING" - Wildness and Management. Part of an ongoing series of quarterly sessions sponsored by the MSR Division to help us connect our personal spiritual grounding with our teaching and research. Having just heard US Senator Cory Booker speak from the heart about how he experiences the relationship between love and the economy -- we hope we can bring some of this fervor and clarity to our session with you!

MORE INFORMATION - FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO READ MORE!
Drs. Kathryn Goldman Schuyler [USA] and Julian Norris [Canada] introduce a new resource for all of us: a special issue of the Humanist Management Journal, with invited articles addressing Awakening to Ourselves, One Another, and the Earth: Awareness Practices and Systems Change that can be used in many courses to inspire students to think creatively about the relationship between management and the kinds of changes needed in the world right now.
Then Julian invites us to join him in Wild Dreaming about Contemplative Animism. Julian describes the practice he will lead:
"To the isolated self that believes itself to be above and outside the rest of nature – dreaming is a purely interior function. It only happens inside the mind of the dreamer. To such a self, the idea that a forest, river or ecosystem might dream, or that the earth has an imagination – let alone one that might find you - seems absurd. Awakening from the lonely trance sense of separation from the world and each other allows us to perceive reality a little more clearly. Deep spiritual traditions have always offered pathways to re-incorporate our consciousness within the broader fabric of creation, so we inhabit the deep connectedness that is surely the only resilient foundation for planetary flourishing."
