The Religious Exploration Salon is a group that meets 3rd Sundays to discuss various topics in the format called Bohm Dialogue. The topic for March 15 is “Being Mortal“. We will dialogue about medicine at the end of life when it may no longer make sense to look for a cure or life extension. The topic is inspired by the book Being Mortal by Atul Gawande but reading the book beforehand is unnecessary and most of us won’t have done so. If you have time there is a free Frontline program online on the subject that you can watch but that is optional too.
Suppose we were able to share meanings freely without a compulsive urge to impose our view or conform to those of others and without distortion and self-deception.
Would this not constitute a real revolution in culture?
– David Bohm
For more details about how Dialogue works, please see our January article.
Everyone is welcome. You are welcome to think about the topic beforehand but no preparation is required or expected — come as you are with whatever thoughts/feelings/intuitions you have, ready to listen, learn and contribute. Our next meeting will be on Sunday March 15th at 7pm in the Brackett Room.
