First Talk is Next Week
Kicking off Experiments with Truth and Illusion series with Christian Fànlì
Experiments with Truth and Illusion Series by Christian Fanli will begin Monday September 7th at 7PM and end Monday October 19th at 7PM
Start: September 7th from 7-8PM PST (upcoming Monday)
Ends: October 19th from 7-8PM PST (upcoming Monday)
What to Expect
I’ll be experimenting with a more fluid and playful/illusory presentation style that might at times blur the lines between “teaching” and “art-ing”. I’ll be cherry picking mystical traditions from east to west, non-dual traditions like zen and huayan, science from neuroscience to psychology, music, and my idea of what my life experiences have been. So you’ll really be listening to everything but me, since I’m made up of a bunch of things that aren’t me. So you’ll be listening to your idea of my idea of her idea, of his idea, of their idea of its idea of reality. Which is all completely provisional. This is more of an art project than a dharma series.
Each week, you’ll get a single email notifying you of the upcoming talk. It will include the time and date, a zoom link, title and description of the talk, and a link to the last talk.
Format
It would be great if the format can be interactive. This is still up for shaping. Right now it’s outlined as follows… Sometimes I’ll play a little music or a video clip, sometimes we’ll meditate for awhile.
Talk (30-40 minutes)
Discussion (breakout) & QnA (20)
Feel free to interrupt me and ask questions.
Content
The content will be a mix of personal intimate stories mixed with teachings that can be applied to our everyday lives.
Inviting Others
Since we will be discussing in groups, you can feel free to invite others by sharing the invite with them. Here is the link for them to subscribe.
Musings
These are musings. An art piece. Or whatever you imagine them to be. Words are never enough and yet we keep talking.
