This month we will be discussing the book, Living Deeply: The Art & Science of Transformation in Everyday Life by Tina Amorok, PsyD, Marilyn Mandala Schlitz, PhD, and Cassandra Vieten, PhD. 

 

"Learning more about the terrain of consciousness transformation can not only give you a map, but can help you become the cartographer of your own transformative journey. Research over the last decade at the Institute of Noetic Sciences has systematically surveyed hundreds of people's stories of their own transformations, as well as conducting over 50 in-depth interviews with teachers and masters of the world's spiritual, religious, and transformative traditions. " (From IONS Website)

 

IONS is conducting an 8-week telecourse (registration is closed) right now, and they are exploring questions such as What is a transformation of consciousness? What triggers transformation? How can we sustain the moments that move us beyond ourselves? and How can transformational experiences actually change our lives? 

 

You don't need to read this book to participate in the discussion; we will present the quotes and summaries from the book. If you have read the book, please bring your questions, insights and viewpoints.
