“DIVIDED SELF - DIVIDED WORLD?”
Some thoughts on the wholeness of things
Three talks by John Dunne
27 May, 3 June and 10 June
7.30 pm – 9.30 pm
All of us have a tendency to divide, to “split” ourselves, others, and our world into polar opposites: black/white, good/bad, in/out, acceptable/unacceptable. This tendency is at the root of all inner and outer division. These three talks will focus on the so-called “non-dualistic thinking”, from a philosophical, psychological and spiritual perspective, with specific emphasis on developing an inner wholeness in order better to live a more mature faith in today’s world and church.
Suggested Donation: £12 per session including tea/coffee (Concession £10)
