This course will cover the central themes of The Web of Meaning. Following the book’s design, it will be structured as six deep and interactive investigations into the existential questions asked at some point by every human being: Who Am I? Where Am I? What Am I? How Should I Live? Why Am I? and Where Are We Going?
In each case, we will see how the answers provided by the dominant worldview are based on faulty foundations. Each week we will explore the rich and awe-inspiring pathways invited by an alternative worldview based on recognizing the intricate interrelationships that link our lives to those in our community, to all of humanity, and to the entire living Earth.
Each two-hour class will consist of presentations, breakout groups, and full group discussions. There will also be an online platform provided for group interaction between the weekly classes.
