The Fortunes of Dialectic
Dive Deep into the Wisdom present in your own Great Self!
This self-exploratory workshop utilises the Ancient Art of Dialectic. Dialectic is a system of Question and Answers that when correctly applied lead the enquirer on a journey of Self Discovery.
It is extremely beneficial for the Growth and Development of the Soul and can break narrow limits into infinite Realms of Expansion!
Come and experience the Fortunes of Dialectic for YourSelf!
Raj has been in the school for 25 years and was drawn to the dialectic approach of self discovery through the Plato weeks offered by Dr David Horan.
This approach has supported his thirst for the discovery of self knowledge and realising something of Truth.
Raj is a primary school teacher and enjoys using the dialectic approach with young students and sees the positive affect it has on them when practised.
Why ‘my way’ turns out to be the wrong way (and what else is available to us).
This interactive presentation looks at why pursuing ‘my way’ only leads to frustration and complications.
If you have ever been at the beck and call of events, with a feeling of being at their mercy – with even more coming around the corner then this presentation is for you!
But is there an alternative and what is it?
Let’s open ourselves up to a possibility that there might be a more expansive, freer approach to life and all that it has to offer us.
