Spirituality
Spiritual revelations do not arrive from thinking long & hard about Divinity. They come through silencing our thoughts, moving our ego out of the way, and opening up to the quiet, mysterious, spiritual realm that is always here with us. The world of soul is here and now, superimposed and woven through the world of the five sense. It doesn't take belief. It is Reality itself. You must only learn to see beyond the veils.
“There is another world, but it is in this one."
–W.B. Yeats

Healing
Healing occurs in the mind, heart, spirit, and body. Any system of self-improvement that does not address all of these essential components of the human being is lacking. I believe this so strongly I’ll repeat it: Any attempt to heal only one aspect of yourself without addressing the others, will ultimately lead to imbalance and unhappiness.

Over the course of the semester, we will explore four, distinct thematic units:
1) Utopias & Dystopias—Freedom, Censorship, Whistleblowers, Cult Psychology
2) The War on Drugs—Political & Racial Motives, The War on Consciousness, The Olympic Doping Scandal, Indigenous Plant Medicines & The Yawanawá Tribe, Eco-Feminism
3) Love & Relationships— Love Languages, Attachment (& non-attachment), Communication, Cultural Constructs, Infidelity & Healing
4) Inner Peace & Mindfulness—Buddhist Meditations, Impermanence, Death & Re-birth, Dharmic Duty
We’ll approach these themes through multiple, ancient & contemporary cultural lenses. Be prepared to have an open mind, read widely, reflect deeply, engage sincerely with your peers, and create work you feel proud of.
I'm looking forward to this experience with all of you!

"There can be no more intimate and elemental part of the individual than his or her own consciousness. At the deepest level, our consciousness is what we are - to the extent that if we are not sovereign over our own consciousness then we cannot in any meaningful sense be sovereign over anything else either."

- Graham Hancock
"To have Oshun leave us is a very, very dangerous thing, and we see it in things like fracking - what's happening to our water supply. We see it in things like the way that they are raping the Queen Bee; honey is sacred to Oshun. We see it in the sex trafficking of children that's going on, on this planet. All of these things we read as signs that we done pissed Oshun off. So for the last 10 or 12 years there have priests all over the world going to the river, going to places where the river's dry, making offerings and begging Oshun to come back to us. All of this is about wanting to recognize the power of the Divine Feminine."
