Technology And Awakening Workshop
A 3-hour introductory workshop
In this 3-hour workshop, founders of the Diamond Approach, A H Almaas and Karen Johnson, explore important questions around technology and its part in our awakening and ultimately rather than seeing technology as something to tolerate, to understand it as a reflection of the unity of presence, and a powerful vehicle to support our individual and collective awakening.
Key areas covered include:
- Bringing the Diamond Approach into technological age
- Meditation in presence
- Connecting with ourselves
- Technology as a source to connect and disconnect
- Addiction to technology
- Learning to sense
