SUMMARY:Soul - nature - body - an online open discussion session (UK times)
DESCRIPTION:Soul pervades nature according to the Platonic tradition: as th
 e self-moving principle that sets off all motion\, soul is intimately link
 ed with all that moves. What do we understand by “soul” and what is it
 s relation to Nature and body? We will explore how soul acts as an interme
 diary between the eternal and the temporal.\n\nThese open sessions usually
  run twice to accommodate different time zones-this is the UK-timed sessio
 n. We take particular topics or passages from Plato and other writers in t
 he tradition - these are open to anyone interested\, and they attract a wi
 de range of participants. We usually begin with a short 5 or 10 minute int
 roduction to the subject in hand and (when appropriate) a reading of a sho
 rt text: this leaves a good hour or so to discuss the ideas which arise (t
 his will be posted here and emailed to those who have registered).\n\nTher
 e are no fees payable. The Trust sees the Platonic tradition as a spiritua
 l one: not only a guide for the outer life\, but especially to be treasure
 d for its assistance in the cultivation of the inner self - the soul - for
 \, says Plato in the Timeaus\, “we are not terrestrial plants\, but blo
 ssoms of heaven.” We understand the tradition to be profound and cohesi
 ve\, and one that repays the long-term effort required to truly embed ones
 elf in it. Our approach is not exclusive - we value other traditions for 
 their insights - nor is it dogmatic or an attempt to proselytise: however 
 we are serious in our attempts to fathom the depths of the tradition\, to 
 identify its foundations\, and where its teachings seem to run counter to 
 accepted thinking to investigate them thoroughly rather than rejecting the
 m prematurely. Thus our point of focus is on the teachings of the traditio
 n and most especially our own inner response to them.\n\nBy joining our st
 udies you are making no commitment beyond that of co-operating with us in 
 our exploration of those truths which have inspired a company of men and w
 omen most luminous in their understanding\, and unsparingly generous in th
 eir teaching.\n\nFor the UK timed session you can register via zoom here. 
 It will display the time in your time zone. Zoom will then email you the l
 ink to join This session is at 19:45 GMT.\n\nThe Americas-timed session\, 
 will run on later on the same day - see separate event here to register.\n
