Our next event is with Bonnitta Roy on the 16th of October.

What’s going on with time? What was once experienced as background seems to rapidly foreground itself into the cultural consciousness. Our experience of time is increasingly shaped by a feeling of acceleration, driven by an economic system converging with exponential technology. We experience it as a scarce resource – ‘running out’ – in relation to addressing issues like climate change. If time isn’t what it used to be, what comes next and how can we possibly participate in finding new expressions of time and space?

We kick off a series of events in October 2023 with the Integral Gebser scholar Jeremy Johnson. Gebser, who coined the term Temporics describes the difference in humanity’s experience of time in various structures of consciousness that have emerged throughout history.

Gebser argued that our current structure of consciousness and view of time does not fully allow time’s essential nature. As an alive force, time is ‘breaking forth’, out of the narrow confines of our current temporal frameworks, causing time’s ‘irruption’. What are the faces of irruption, and where are we possibly headed as a collective?

Jeremy, building on his essays “Meta, Modern” and “Three Theses on Liminality,” helps Gebser’s philosophy to land in the thick of our mutational present.
