Beyond Bohm 2: Closing Session<\/p>\n\n\n\n

with Leroy Little Bear, Beth Macy, Melissa Nelson, Lee Nichol, Hester Reeve and David Schrum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday August 29, 2021<\/strong>
9:00 PDT | 12:00 EDT | 17:00 BST \u00a0| \u00a018:00 CEST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-hour session<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are unable to attend the live session, the recording will be available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It may be \u201causpicious coincidence\u201d – or otherwise – but the first five of the sessions in Beyond Bohm 2<\/i> are in one way or another related to participatory consciousness. This overlap occurred without any intention on the part of the individuals who put together each of the sessions. It is likely then, that this topic will figure into our final summary session, though any of the topics addressed in the preceding weeks may come to the fore – especially in the extended discussion and Q &A with those attending this final segment of Beyond Bohm<\/i>. And in the spirit of dialogue, something completely new may emerge, unforeseen by any plan or agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us as we gather and look toward the future of Bohm-inspired inquiries and explorations, with an eye toward genuine transformations in consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hester Reeve<\/strong>\u2019s practice encompasses live art, philosophy, drawing, David Bohm\u2019s \u2018Dialogue\u2019 and social sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is interested in the relationship between critical thinking and human agency in everyday life, particularly when it is risked through the figure of \u2018the artist\u2019 (where what constitutes an artist is broadly conceived and not exclusive to art school training).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent public works have been staged at Tanzquartier, Vienna, Tate Britain (working under the umbrella of The Emily Davison Lodge with Olivia Plender) and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

David Schrum<\/strong> received his PhD in quantum theory at Queen\u2019s University, following which he spent two post-doctoral years with David Bohm at Birkbeck College. Here, he entered Bohm\u2019s world of creative and subtle philosophical approaches to physics and his enquiry into consciousness and what may lie beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Schrum continues in these explorations, in physics developing a new approach to relativistic quantum theory and, through the dialogue process, going into what it is to bring to light that which lies enfolded within our individual and collective consciousness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
