Deep Healing and the Coming Transformation of Human Consciousness - Michael Lerner

from The New School at Commonweal · host The New School at Commonweal

Michael Lerner with Moderator Katherine Fulton, and introductory remarks by Oren Slozberg. Exploring the Forces Changing What it Means to Be Human Join us for a day of reflection and conversation exploring healing at a time of transformation—contemplating what Michael Lerner points to as the coming revolution in human consciousness and what it means for all of us as individuals, communities, and as a planetary species. This event is part of our 50th anniversary celebrations this year at Commonweal. Michael’s founding vision of Commonweal was as a center for healing ourselves and healing the earth. His understanding of healing has been transformed by more than 230 week-long Cancer Help Programs, by Healing Circles, and by many other experiences with personal healing, as well as by the emergence of the global polycrisis and what it signifies for planetary healing. He brings these threads together in the light of new research on what is known as “the hard problem of consciousness.” *** The New School is Commonweal’s learning community and podcast — we offer conversations, workshops, and other events in areas that Commonweal champions: finding meaning, growing health and resilience, advocating for justice, and stewarding the natural world. We make our conversations into podcasts for listeners world wide and have been doing this since 2007.
