ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
An Evening Workshop
Friday, April 30, 2021, 7:00 – 9:00 pm ET
“I feel more and more every day, as my imagination strengthens, that I do not live in this world alone but in a thousand worlds.” ~ John Keats (1818)
Defining the imagination is like grabbing the wind. Imagining is ambiguous, ambivalent, creative and subversive. Controlling others’ imaginations has long been a means of oppression; but fresh imaginings can bring liberation and healing. And imagination has featured since time immemorial in the quest for the sacred.
In this event we will ponder ideas about imagination through the ages, study forms of imaginative activity in the quest and introduce methods for tapping the potentials of the esoteric imagination.
Esoteric pursuits like hermetism, theurgy, alchemy, magic and kabbalah have always been entwined with imagination.
In this session we will unlock a tool-kit of ideas and means for the study of imagination. We will also reflect on the history of conceptions of imagination and their roles in suppressing and supporting esoteric views.
Co-sponsored with the Centre for Myth, Cosmology and the Sacred.
