With Iain McGilchrist and Thomas Steininger, editor of Evolve Magazine and Co-Founder of Emergent Dialogues.

The online-event took place on February 3rd 2023, from 18:00-21:00 CET.

As McGilchrist notes: “In The Matter With Things, I search out what it is we have lost sight of, all that is there for us to see, if only we were not blinded to it: an inexhaustibly, truly wondrous, creative, living universe, not a meaningless, moribund mechanism. By bringing to bear up-to-the-minute neuropsychology, physics, and philosophy, I show not only that these are in no way in conflict with one another, but that they all lead us, time and again, to the same insights. And that this is not in opposition to, but rather corroborates, the wisdom of the great spiritual traditions across the world.

“I have chosen to approach it here by directing our attention, as it might seem at first, to one side: on the soul. I will argue that the sacred exists not simply in this or that thing—an object, a place, or an act—but in the relationship between whatever it is beyond ourselves that we recognize as sacred and that part of our being that has been traditionally referred to as the soul.”

In this 3-hour event, Thomas Steininger of evolve Magazine engages in dialogue with Dr Iain McGilchrist about The Brain, The Sacred and The Soul. This dialogue was the opening for a larger dialogue that included the participants. The unique distinction of all evolve LIVE! events is that participants are invited to join in dialogue and to be part of a dialogical investigation of the topic with each other and with their guest.
