10 :30am-4:30pm		 Mirror of the Present - An Oracular Seminar
SHANTENA AUGUSTO SABBADINI - more detail
The I Ching is a formidable psychological system that endeavours to organize the play of archetypes... into a certain pattern, so that a reading becomes possible.
(C.G. Jung)
The I Ching is an ancient Chinese oracle, rooted in a shamanic tradition almost four thousand years old. Its images are a map of the dynamics of archetypal energies in and around us. The most effective way to under-stand and become familiar with it is by using it as a mirror, opening a dialogue with it about a concrete situation we are involved in. We shall read the images the oracle reflects back to us as if a dream offered in connection with the specific question we have asked. This will allow hidden symbolic dimensions of our situation to emerge to consciousness - and this will help us align our choices with the flow of the "great river", with the movement of Tao, and to act in a more aware and responsible way.
NOTE: Limited to 10 participants

March 8th
10 :30am - 5.00pm

Three Colours
JOHN IZOD AND JOANNA DOVALIS
Joanna Dovalis & John Izod will lead a workshop using Kieslowski’s Three Colours trilogy as a case study, to examine some of the points of contact between grieving, therapy and cinema themselves and reflections on their relevance to the current state of the world. Three Colours is a film trilogy made by the Polish film-maker Krzysztof Kieslowski in the early 1990s, exploring ideals inspired by the French revolution. There is no facile moralising, simply a lucid examination of a woman’s state of mind, played by Juliet Binoche in Three Colours: Blue. Three Colours: White and Three Colours: Red are also about destiny and chance, solitude and communication, cynicism and faith, doubt and desire – virtually flawless, Kieslowski’s films are one of the greatest cinematic achievements of recent years.
Additional Conferences may be arranged during the the year and details of these will be added to the website.
