Talk : Sat 31 of January - 10:30 AM

Workshop "Mind - Best Friend or Worst Enemy?"

Life can be very difficult, and many people see themselves as victims of random and unfortunate circumstances. However, we do play a role in what happens to us and few realize the importance of our mind in this process. It not only colours our experiences of life, it even causes them. Knowing how our mind works allows us to take responsibility for our life and to become creators rather than remain victims.

The mind is also a very important key to building a sustainable future. Many of the problems we are facing today as humanity are caused by our own actions. In order to change the way we act, we literally need to ‘change our mind’. As Albert Einstein said: “The world we have created is a product of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”

This workshop will explore the mind and mind-related topics such as consciousness, imagination, creativity and meditation. It will also look at collective mindsets and paradigm shifts throughout history. Sabine Leitner is the director of the New Acropolis School of Philosophy in London and has a background in classical music, philosophy and psychology.

Location: 18 Compton Terrace N1 2UN, next door to Union Chapel.
