SUMMARY:Wayward Angel - Manu Bazzano - TBC
DESCRIPTION:WAYWARD ANGEL\nA talk/performance by Manu Bazzano\nTHIS  EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE IN-PERSON \n \nWhat does it mean to redeem the (individual and collective) past? Do catastrophe and redemption go hand in hand? What does it mean to say yes to the future? In seeking happiness\, we often want repetition\, grasping the evanescent moment of the “not yet” and the unique… \nIn his 9th Thesis of History\, written after his release from the internment camp in France and just before his suicide\, Walter Benjamin wrote: A Klee painting … shows an angel looking … about to move away from something he is contemplating … This is … the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events\, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. … The angel would like to stay\, awaken the dead\, and mend what has been broken. But a storm is blowing … It caught in his wings with such a force that the angel can no longer close them. The storm … drives him into the future to which his back is turned\, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward \nInspired by Walter Benjamin’s 9th Thesis of History\, this talk/performance will address some of these questions through movement\, song\, and speech. Followed by conversation and discussion. \n \nDr Manu Bazzano is an author\, psychotherapist/supervisor\, and a student of Zen and Butoh. \nHis latest book is Re-Visioning Existential Therapy (Ed) (Routledge\, 2020) \nHis forthcoming book\, Subversion and Desire (Routledge)\, will come out in October 2022. \nwww.manubazzano.com \n  \nA 2 hours Certificate of attendance will be sent to participants. \nPlease bring your email confirming your ticket purchase in order to access the theatre. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:DIALOGUES on MADNESS and WISDOM.  8th February\, 7-9pm UK time on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:DIALOGUES on MADNESS and WISDOM.  \nIn Conversation with R.D. Laing.\nR.D. Laing & Vincenzo Caretti.  Edited by Miles Groth and Danilo Serra. \n      NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON \n  \nYou are invited to meet the authors of the forthcoming \nSEA Dialogue no. 4.\n  \n  \nAfter more than forty years\, Vincenzo Caretti’s account of conversations with the Scottish psychiatrist\, R.D. Laing\, has finally been translated from Italian into English. Earlier translations in French\, German and Dutch have been out of print for quite a while. For that reason\, this English translation is of special importance. It was edited by Miles Groth\, the daseinsanalyst and existential analyst living in New York. \nFor many years now a psychoanalyst\, the probing questions of Caretti\, who was then a young therapist in training only in his early 20s but welcomed by Laing for a week of discussions\, is as fresh and insightful now as it was when first published in 1979. The translation by Danilo Serra\, a brilliant young Italian scholar in philosophy and the humanities\, is superb and brings to life the wit and subtlety of the famous radical psychotherapist and author of now classic works of social phenomenology on the family and schizophrenia. This year marks the 95th anniversary of the birth of Laing. \nThe topics of the conversations range from the Bible to Zen\, Freud and Jung\, the fate of the family and schizophrenia\, language\, silence and time\, and the place of young people and women in the rapidly changing world ushered in  by the Sixties. Their final conversation is characterized by Caretti as “a profession of faith” on the part of Laing. We have in these dialogues an illuminating portrait of the many sides of R.D. Laing the man\, the thinker\, and the therapist. \n Vincenzo Caretti (1953)\, is psychoanalyst and professor of Dynamic Psychology and Psychotherapy at the Department of Human Science of the LUMSA University of Rome. His research fields cover the traumatic experiences in developmental age\, the onset of the antisocial/psychopathic personality disorder\, the factors of change in psychotherapy of self regulation. \n Miles Groth\, PhD\, is full Professor (Emeritus) in the Department of Psychology at Wagner College\, New York. He is co-founder with Tamás Fazekas and President of the American Daseinsanalytic Institute (2021). Dr. Groth has been in private practice as a daseinsanalyst since 1985. He is the author of seven books and many articles on psychotherapy and Continental philosophy. He has lectured residents in psychiatry on integrating psychodynamic psychotherapy with traditional in-patient treatment. \n Danilo Serra ( 1991)\, PhD\, is the author of several books on topical philosophical issues and numerous articles in philosophy journals. Dr. Serra carries out research in the areas of Heideggerian Philosophy\, Poetic Phenomenology and Landscape Aesthetics. He is a member of the American Daseinsanalytic Institute (ADI). \n

SUMMARY:The Language Continuum. Haran Rasalingam. January 18th 7-9pm. ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:The Language Continuum: language\, dialects\, status and stigma.\nLanguage changes through time\, space and context. It is an indicator of belonging and exclusion\, advantage or disadvantage. More than simply a means of information transfer\, language is a complex signifier of identity. We care about our language\, we have opinions about correct and incorrect language\, polite or offensive language\, “appropriate” language. This presentation will look at the wonder of language variety\, celebrate its diversity and explode a few myths along the way. \n \nHaran Rasalingam ( he | him | his)  is an existential psychotherapist and coach. His academic and professional career has spanned Psychology and Technology\, but also Language and Linguistics – a lifelong passion of his which has led to an insatiable appetite to delve deep into languages far and wide as well as the science and philosophy of language including sociolinguistics\, psycholinguistics\, NLP\, the language of influence and\, as Wittgenstein would say\, language bewitchment. \nThis is an online event\, on Zoom. A link will be sent to attendees one day before the date. \nA 2 hours Certificate of Attendance will be provided. The event will be partially recorded. \n

SUMMARY:The Tortured Tribe Within. Dr. Natalie Fraser. 6th December 7-9pm Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Tortured Tribe Within: \nExistential Explorations of The Aftermath of Trauma.\n  \nWhat is the biggest pain you’ve been through\, and why does it still hurt today? \nIn this talk Natalie shares the discoveries from her latest research\, providing new insights into how and why the aftermath of trauma can be more painful than the traumatic event itself. \nAs a human it is inevitable that we will encounter traumatic events either first-hand or vicariously. As a psychological practitioner\, frequently so. What we are exposed to in the aftermath paves the way to a journey of healing or torture. In a world of uncertainty and Others\, having an awareness of what does and doesn’t feel right within us is fundamental. But how do we gain awareness of these invisible messages within? \nCommon discourse speaks about the ‘inner critic’ and ‘overthinker’ but who else contributes to our daily inner-dialogical worlds? \nAre you ready to meet your private inner tribe\, and invite a deeper connection with yourself? \n  \n \nDr Natalie Fraser is a pluralistic Existential Psychologist and researcher specialising in trauma\, identity\, and private inner worlds. \nNatalie is the founder of Existential Offerings (www.existentialofferings.com)\, an ever-evolving project aspiring to make philosophical ideas about human life\, hope\, and suffering more accessible to people worldwide from all backgrounds. In 2021 she launched The Global Existential Summit (www.existentialsummit.com) bringing 25 world leading existential thinkers together for the first time in a FREE fully-online summit. \n  \nThis event will take place on Zoom. A link will be sent prior to the date. \nA 2 hours Certificate of Attendance will be sent to participants. The event will be partially recorded. \nSEA Members get 25% discount.

SUMMARY:The Natural Ease and Resilience of Being.  KEN BRADFORD PhD  May 30th 6-8pm
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nNatural resilience is the healing expression of authentic presence when we stop talking to ourself and open to experience as it is. The truth is we cannot always trust our mind to see things clearly\, since the human predicament finds us in the position of seeing through a glass darkly: seeing others\, the world and ourself through projections we may not be aware we are projecting. Simultaneously\, the truth is we can always trust the sane nature of our mind\, which is innately open\, clear\, and spontaneously responsive in a compassionate\, healing direction. A vital challenge for existentially-robust therapy is warming-up to\, tuning-in to\, and letting go of habitual patterns that cloud authentic presence. The challenge of recognising authentic presence is opening to the natural freedom and ease of being as such. \n  \n  \nWe cannot make ourself be resilient\, sane or free\, but we can open to a way of being in which resilience\, sanity and freedom come to us. Within the openness of spacious awareness\, we are better able to assist the opening of others. This follow-up experientially-keyed session is devoted to opening to the true\, innately resilient nature of our otherwise distracted mind. Just this is the unconditional basis for practicing the most robust forms of therapy and meditation. \nThe event will take place on ZOOM. A link will be sent to attendees the day before. \nKen Bradford\, PhD is an author\, teacher and contemplative yogin integrating Buddhist\, Dzogchen and Existential thought and practice. Formerly\, he maintained a psychotherapy practice in the San Francisco Bay area and was Adjunct Professor at John F. Kennedy University and California Institute of Integral Studies. Publications include numerous articles\, most recently on “Radical Authenticity” and “Existential-Contemplative Therapy”; books: The I of the Other: Mindfulness-Based Diagnosis & the Question of Sanity; and Listening from the Heart of Silence: Nondual Wisdom and Psychotherapy\, Vol. 2  (with John Prendergast). \n Website: www.authenticpresence.net \nA 2-hours Certificate of Attendance will be emailed to participants

SUMMARY:Authentic Presence:  Buddhist and Existential Perspectives - KEN BRADFORD  PhD. May 29th 6-8pm
DESCRIPTION:  \nBoth Existential and Buddhist psychologies recognise an authentic potentiality\, sanity and natural resilience to the human mind. Although in Existential thought\, the notion of “true nature” is debatable and not always clearly understood. Still\, both traditions respect that the mind’s natural openness is obscured by habitual forms of mental-emotional reactivity that become reified into a fixed “me.” The radical thought of Martin Heidegger and still more remarkable insight of the Buddha see through the reification of divided selfhood to the authentically open\, unfettered and free nature of the mind.\nThis evening will explore the Buddha’s 2 key insights into the human condition. 1) We have a deep-seated feeling there is something incomplete or wrong with “me” that leaves us with a sense of discontent and wanting we spend our lives striving to fill. 2) Preoccupied with this striving\, we lose touch with the natural resilience\, innate sense of well-being\, and untethered freedom of our authentic nature. Therapy and meditation are practices of opening ourself to the way things actually are rather than how we (compulsively) think they are. \nThis evening provides a theoretical foundation for Saturday’s follow-up. \nThe event will take place on ZOOM. A link will be sent to attendees the day before. \nKen Bradford\, PhD is an Author\, teacher and contemplative yogin integrating Buddhist\, Dzogchen and Existential thought and practice.
