CIVILIZATION IN
TRANSITION 7
TRUTH AND
POWER
The Delicate Dance of Integrity
November 1-4, 2018
Hotel Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico
We should know what our
convictions are, and stand for them.
Upon one's own philosophy,
conscious or unconscious, depends one's ultimate interpretation of facts.
Therefore, it is wise to be as clear as possible about one's subjective
principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate
truth.
—C.G. Jung
Coined by the Quakers
in the 1950’s, ‘’speaking truth to power” is not a new concept, but it has
taken on new relevance in the turbulent post-truth
era. Current debate seems most often
framed by appeals to emotion disconnected to facts, and counteracting this
troubling trend requires that we galvanize our courage to speak up, speak out,
and be heard. As we witness increasing polarization, insults and sarcasm move
us farther and farther from the cooperation needed to find solutions, and it is
tempting to give up trying to be heard. With our future dependent on successful
dialogue, we can no longer recoil from the challenge we face. Speaking up to
powerful forces—and finding space for meaningful idea exchange—begins by
standing in our integrity, speaking from our center, and listening with an open
heart and mind. Never has there been a more urgent need for civil discourse
about the problems facing our nation and the world. Civilization in Transition 7 will explore and address possible ways
to transcend the polarization in our lives and make a difference in the world.
This conference is
open to the public, clinicians, and analysts. The conference will focus on
underlying elements that drive individual motivation and behavior, the reasons
for escalating discord in society, and the dangers of unresolved disagreement.
Mental Health Professionals will focus on techniques for positive communication
and collaboration, and the therapist’s ability to assess and manage irrational
and destructive communication in their clients’ interactions, as well as with
their own interactions with discordant individuals and groups.
Join us in Santa Fe
for what promises to be a stimulating and provocative weekend.
