Layman Pascal: Non-duality in the Network age: A dialogos with Andrew Sweeny

Beyond Sex, Drugs & Psychoanalysis toward an integrative spiritual life for collaborative metamodern syntheists in the Age of Connection, Complexity & Catastrophe

This new course from PARALLAX ACADEMY’s “Rebuilding Spirituality” curriculum is an in-depth exploration of connectedness as the root of both spiritual & religious practices for the emerging epoch. The inimitable Layman Pascal will guide you through inner and interpersonal practices appropriate to a trans-secular age of digital, neural, mycelial & social networks. What is required by the dynamic communities around you and within you? What sorts of psychotechnologies work best for a world of links, interconnections and collaborative relationships? How do we generate ritual, sacred togetherness and satisfying existential intensification in a universe of informational networks?

Join Layman for embodied wisdom-skill practices, supportive depth-oriented feedback in live Q & A sessions, and special access to advanced theory modules explaining the view necessary to make sense of how we reformat authentic transformational spirituality for our strange and disturbing times.

The "campfires" are bonus opportunities to ask questions of Layman in a casual setting about any material from any of the courses. They are also a space to share the results of various practices that one has been trying outside of the course sessions -- as well as a chance to deepen your understanding and share with other people who are also helping to co-create and cultivate the new seriousness and new playfulness of contemporary spirituality.
