This second course in the three-part ReImagine series is an inquiry into the great unraveling of late stage capitalism and the global polycrisis—and an exploration of the possibilities for reimagining our worldview, and the values and systems that arise out of it. We will explore the apocalyptic tradition as it relates to cosmology and to this moment of global polycrisis and internal transformation. It includes an art as meditation practice: Creating Mandalas—after each class the students create a community, cosmos, soul, family, realm, etc. Final sharing in the last session.
