Cultivating Wisdom

IEC Conference: cancelled

Wisdom is desperately needed, yet little understood and rarely practiced. This presentation offers an understanding of wisdom drawn from multiple cultures as well as a collection and analysis of the world’s methods for cultivating it. These methods range from relational (e.g. teachers and community) to intellectual (study and reflection) to contemplative (meditation and visualization) to educational, neurological, and more. The presentation will also offer an opportunity to practice some of these methods.
