In this extensive series, James Hollis guides us on the journey towards living a more conscious and authentic life. While acknowledging that this is a momentous task, Hollis explores ideas, practices, attitudes and values that are helpful on this journey.
In our time many people suffer a disconnection from meaning. At the same time, the loss of collective meaning is an impetus to create our own meaning. Hollis reminds us, with tremendous compassion, that we all have many powers within us. Perceiving and developing these powers places wide-ranging resources at the disposal of conscious life.
In his signature style, Hollis offers a myriad of questions that we can ask ourselves to navigate the thickets of our internal and external lives. As always, he draws from his vast vault of poetry, fiction, mythology, his own experiences and those of clients & friends to paint a robust picture of where to start and how to keep going in the crafting of one’s life.
Each class is enriched by discussions and Q&As with the audience from the original taping of the course. For those particularly interested in Hollis’ work, we see many of the themes he talks about throughout his body of work built upon here.
