Course Description

IN PERSON: Change is constantly at work in the world around us, vibrating in and between all things, creating the future. Can we discern the patterns, avoid the pitfalls, go with the flow and actually bring about positive outcomes? The Book of Changes (I Ching/Yìjīng 易經) has served as an enduring guide to action for 3,000 years. Prized as both text and oracle, its 64 images whisper to our inner ears. Approach it as you would a wise counselor who sees the fabric of the present leading to possible futures, and who cares that we “get it right.” Divination, after all, is simply the art of knowing where we are, what might come next and how best to get there. Participants will formulate personally relevant questions, employ various divinatory methods to derive responses from the living text and explore interpretations of the often dreamlike answers offered by “the little old sage in the yellow coat.” We will share insights and deepen our understanding through small group and class discussion. | Facilitated discussion, Active Skill Learning.
