Ep.9 John Vervaeke-The Logos of Dialogue: Embodiment, Christianity & Trauma

In our first conversation we explore John’s understanding of the transformational potential of a dialogic relationship with world and self. We play with the ways in which our cognition is not confined to our heads but both embodied and experienced aesthetically. Then, building on John’s 2015 discussion with Jordan Peterson, we explore a new layer of the historic meaning crisis ‘the landscape of trauma’. Entering dialogic flow, we ask what it means to embody logos and explore healing, trauma and relationship to mystery. Lastly, drawing on our shared backgrounds in Christianity we consider the challenging relationship of Christian communities to trauma and individual growth.  

 John Vervaeke lectures in Cognitive Science & Psychology at the University of Toronto. He is at the leading responding to our collective circumstance with his expansive ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’ lecture series and work re-imagining the ancient art of Dialogos. John’s work is cutting edge, deeply collaborative and at its highest aspiration promises to respond to our age with a new synthesis of science, wisdom traditions, religious understandings and embodied contemplative practices. -John's Channel:
