Iain McGilchrist & Isabela Granic: Intergenerational Wisdom for a World Unravelling

Published 2023-05-01
In the week following each event, we hold free connection and inquiry sessions online to meet and reflect more deeply with others on the significance of the ideas shared in the previous week’s seminar. Incorporating embodied and relational practices, we’ll alternate between break-out room conversations and whole-group discussion. The emphasis is on authentic connections, epistemic humility, and a sense of wonder in relation to Iain and his interlocutors' work. You're warmly invited to join us!

Attention is a moral act.❤ Thankfully, we have all of you to learn from. Our children come through us, we don't own them. We have to spread these works of Dr. McGilchrist's books and these discussions to all we can. Affectionately, I love you all.❤

Thank you all. Cheered me up to hear that the young people are aware. I agree with Iain McGilchrist about the gap 'year'. I left school at 15 with one o' level in English which I took a year early (I believe my beloved English teacher knew I was going). I started at university when I was 33 years old & studied English with Related Arts & left with an upper class honor's degree. For most of those years I was a single mum to 4 children. The best 4 years ever! The most important thing that I learned was that I didn't know anything. Humility I suppose.

I am so happy that the algo keep on giving me the opportunity to get into Iain thoughts, lots of beauty in it. Much love to you Iain.

After this I watched Russell Brand and Iain McGilchrist which was a real roller coaster. Absolutely brilliant, really shows McGilchrists skills in a new light.
-
Interesting to consider that Rudolph Steiner's, Waldorf education is in essence a system that nurtures and preferences right hemisphere development in children
-
This is another great conversation involving Iain. I adore the spontaneous chemistry that erupts out of the interaction between this very necessary thinker of our times and the professors who are to some extent in his wake I'd love to see an interview between Iain and Matthew David Segall, a Whiteheadian scholar and professor. If you haven't seen the recent interview between Pascal and Segall on the Integral Stage, I recommend it.

It's such a joy to bask in such brilliance.
-
We need an accessible handbook for general use for university students. I could easily see how, for example, Dr McGilchrist's work could be integrated with my Literature courses. Plus animated/illistrated podcasts etc.
-
Thank you for a stimulating discussion.
-
Again great conversation, as always with Iain McGilchrist!

I heard not to long ago that we Shepherd children, we should not Engineer them. I am a school teacher and a lead. I am deeply passionate about Iain’s work and the education system we sustain; it’s fragmented loss of connections, because it’s basis is built on a factory, industrial process driven. The administration level is out of control but we are also loosing the connection to what it means to be human. I also agree there is a huge disconnect from our ancestors who understood the balance and connection between things. Children are not machines so why mechanise their experiences?
-
Worth listening! Obviously a big fan of Iain's work. Great question from one so young at 1hr and 20 - v revealing.......everything has it's limits!
-
Superb conversation. Well done all!
-
Hi @Perspectiva, do you happen to know to which 10 min cartoon Iain McGilchrist refers at the end of the video? Would like to watch (and also the series, if it comes out). Thanks in advance!
-
Wonderful talk
-
Good to see you Ian!
-
Win! Dr. McGilchrist uses the phrase "the shit hits the fan" in a dialogue!
-
I think Iain’s comments about science are valid in a functional community of scientists. Imho the science community is the most captured by the left hemisphere. For example in the UNHERD interview with Iain, he mentions that some scientists producing good science are ejected from the community without even having their work assessed or reviewed. They jump to bad conclusions when anything comes forward outside the common scientific paradigms and ‘shoot’ the messenger.

26:00 AMEN Dr. McGilchrist!!!!

Fabulous thank you 🌻 would love to hear Ian and Rupert Sheldrake have a chat 😁 that would be something else 🌟
