The Wisdom of the Mantra

Iain McGilchrist

Almost everything you think you know about differences between the brain hemispheres is wrong. The topic was taken over and distorted by pop psychology,and hence understandably, but nonetheless irrationally, neglected by the mainstream.So why is the brain, an organ that exists only to make connections, divided and asymmetrical? What does it tell us about the structure of the world we inhabit? Iain McGilchrist will argue that lateralisation is now the topic in neuroscience of greatest significance for understanding the human condition.Dr Iain McGilchristis a former Fellow of All Souls College,Oxford, a Fellow of the RoyalCollege of Psychiatrists, a Fellowof the Royal Society of Arts, andformer Consultant Psychiatrist and Clinical Director at theBethlem Royal &amp; Maudsley Hospital, London.

Mark Burrows

These sonnets by the poet Rilke stand as one of the masterpieces of German poetry. Written near the end of his life in a brief period of intense creativity, the poems invite us to open our lives to the depths and to find new courage to indwell the world with creative passion. Our exploration of these poems will invite us to answer the poet’s call to “do the heart-work” with the memories and experiences of our lives, since—as he suggests—“the world, the more we observe it, wants to flourish in love.” As do we! The question is, how? This meditative day will engage this question, offering participants a chance to engage these remarkable poems slowly, and engage them in the depths. We will use a new translation of these poems by the retreat leader. Mark S. Burrows is a frequent presenter at the Meditatio Centre and is well known internationally as a retreat leader and speaker. He is Professor of Religion and Literature at the University of Applied Sciences in Bochum (Germany). His academic work explores the mystical literature of Christianity with a special interest in the intersection of mysticism and poetics. He edits poetry for the journal Spiritus and Arts. His publications include: Rainer Maria Rilke’s Prayers of a Young Poet (Paraclete Press, 2016), SAID’s 99 Psalms (2013), Meister Eckhart’s Book of the Heart: Meditations for the Restless Soul in collaboration with Jon Sweeney (Hamden House, 2017) and most recently a collection of his poems, The Chance of Home (2018). www.msburrows.com

Laurence Freeman

In this dialogue with the Dalai Lama, Fr Laurence Freeman discusses the evolution of our relationship to Jesus as our teacher, and the challenges of discipleship. Speaking from personal experience, he describes three levels of relationship. The first level sees Jesus as a fellow human being, no doubt extraordinary, awakening to enlightenment on the spiritual journey. He is the exemplary model for one’s life in his integrity, his transcendence beyond cultural conditioning, and his renunciation of self. At the second level, Jesus is experienced as part of one’s identity, one’s centre of gravity in whom the disciple can take refuge. This develops into the third level in an experience of the “Inner Christ” in which Jesus is still alive and present to us in a different form, in spirit, transforming us as we awake to his divinising presence within us and in others.

HH the Dalai Lama & Laurence Freeman — Jesus and Buddha

Fr Laurence Freeman speaks about  Ripeness, a stage of the journey where a new dimension of Knowledge is acquired, and our  Identity becomes sharper as we become more mysterious to ourselves.

Meditation as a way of wisdom illuminates these stages of the journey of life and has its own milestones. In this series of talks Fr Laurence will show how the journey of meditation deepens the journey of life and gives us the courage and vision to live life as fully conscious travellers.Laurence Freeman is a Benedictine monk and the spiritual successor of John Main. He is the Director of The World Community for Christian Meditation. Author, retreat leader and international speaker, Fr Laurence sees the contemplative as the essential dimension of all spirituality.

Kabir Helminski

Underlying Rumi’s magnificent poetry is a coherent world-view and spiritual psychology. A living tradition of human transformation has continued in the spirit of his legacy. Through contemplative practice, ceremony, metaphysical reflection, artistic expression, and community service a process of psycho-spiritual maturity has been refined. We will explore the fundamentals of this tradition and consider how they might be applied in today’s world.Kabir Helminski is the Co-Director of the ThresholdSociety, a non-profit educational foundation that has developed programs that provide a structure for practice and study within Sufism and spiritual psychology. He has been working within the Mevlevi tradition of Sufism for about thirty years  and has translated many volumes of Sufi literature, including many works of Rumi.http://www.meditatio.co.uk/Music Credits: Aourourou by  Blue Dot Sessions

Charles Taylor

This Talk on New Ways of Wisdom was part of the John Main Seminar 2018: A Contemplative Response ​to the Crisis of Change 20-23 Sep, Bruges, Belgium. Charles Taylor is a Canadian philosopher known for his examination of the modern self.  Taylor’s first major work, Hegel (1975), was a large study of the 19th-century German philosopher that emphasized the ways in which Hegel’s philosophy continues to be relevant to contemporary political and social theory. In 1989 Taylor published Sources of the Self: The Making of the Modern Identity, which explored the multiplicity of the self, or the human subject, in the modern Western world.

David Tacey

Deep ecological awareness is a spiritual state of consciousness, and without the activation of spirit it is difficult to achieve this awareness. Secular policies and green politics may not be able to work the transformation that is required.  This talk will explore the entry into ecological awareness as an initiation into the transpersonal and universal dimensions of spirit. David Tacey is Emeritus Professor of Humanities at La Trobe University, Melbourne, and Research Professor at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture, Canberra. He is an interdisciplinary scholar and public intellectual who has written extensively on spirituality, religion, youth experience and mental health.

David Tacey — Ecology and Spirituality

This is the second talk Sarah Bachelard gave on the Silent Retreat at the University of Waikato in 2017.  She expands on the relationship between contemplative practice and active life: how contemplation changes the agent and shifts his/her vision to see the nature of reality, and the context in which he/she is acting. Experiencing God is not about having a particular experience, it is about having the ground or the context for all our experiences. God is that in which everything else is contained. To experience God (to experience Love) is to experience the ultimate reality for us as gift and grace. It is to experience ourselves at home. The christian faith offers a particular vision of God and human possibilities in relation to God, when this sense of  things  is alive for us, it transforms how we act. It leads to those full of faith to trust in abundance, it leads them to generosity and courage and to trust that there is a direction in our lives that is given. God is present and active. The power of reconciliation is at work in the world. It invites us to live and act in hope, even in situations that seem hopeless. Meditation leads us to this experience of reality, to this possibility of faith. This talk was part of a Silent a Silent Retreat led by the Rev. Dr. Sarah Bachelard in the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand January 2017. Sarah Bachelard is an internationally respected theologian, retreat leader and priest. She is the founder and leader of Benedictus Contemplative Church in Canberra, Australia and an honorary fellow at the Australian Catholic University. Sarah was a Rhodes scholar at Oxford University where she studied theology with former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. She is the author of two books, Experiencing God in a Time of Crisis and Resurrection and Moral Imagination.

Allan Wallace

n this dialogue Dr Wallace explores the themes of enlightenment and salvation and responds to questions such as: Are salvation and enlightenment the same? Is grace at work in the individual journey? At what levels do (or can) different traditions achieve sameness? Is the origin of grace within or without yourself, and where is the demarcation? Does Christianity treat God as an emotional projection? Alan Wallace is a prominent voice in the emerging discussion between contemporary Buddhist thinkers and scientists who question the materialist presumptions of their 20th-century paradigms. He left his college studies in 1971 and moved to Dharamsala, India, to study Tibetan Buddhism, medicine and language. He was ordained by H.H. the Dalai Lama, and over fourteen years as a monk he studied with and translated for several of this generation’s greatest lamas. He is founder of the Santa Barbara Institute for Consciousness Studies. Music Credits: Aourourou by Blue Dot Sessions
