At the beginning of last year, the world was faced with a public health crisis, the scope of which had not been seen in a century. As COVID-19 rapidly reached every corner of the globe, chaos and fear ran rampant. Yet, as the pandemic worsened, billions of people decided to respond with love, care, and compassion. Even though we were separated physically, people were connecting and reaching out—to neighbours and strangers alike—more than ever before.

The global population is growing older and living longer than ever before. With that comes unnecessary fear and anxiety as ageing can often be seen as a negative or a period of decline.
Join Marilyn as she seeks to disrupt the status quo that surrounds our worldviews on ageing by advancing the realisation of each person’s unique potentials and self-fulfilment through a whole person model that supports self-actualisation, self-transcendence and collective transformation throughout the lifespan.

We’re poised between two futures. One: a breakdown future of chaos, conflict, and collapse. The other: a breakthrough future of safety, restoration, and flourishing. The choice between them starts in our minds – whether we’re able to manage our mental states, at a moment of extraordinary turbulence. Whether we react to people who disagree with us with empathy or enmity. Whether we see ourselves as part of a polarised them-and-us – or an inclusive Larger Us.
For much of the younger generation, living East or West, gone are proverbial 40-nights in the desert and neglected are the ancient tomes of perennial wisdom. These have been replaced by an electronic universe of information and opinion; and, yes, it can be for the better. Never before have people been so interconnected at a social level. For the young, these connections may not be as deep as the older generation might have experienced but they are, indeed, wide. Within the next decade there is more to come.

This webinar will be devoted to understanding enchantment – first and foremost, wonder – as a fundamental human experience. We shall consider its chief characteristics, such as what Max Weber called ‘concrete magic’, and its dynamics, including the realisation of moment and place. Then we turn to the truths enchantment can show us. These have significant implications for our further understanding of life, including ourselves. In particular, they undermine any foundational split between the spiritual or psychological on the one hand, and the material on the other.
