LECTURE

“Presence to Life – Life in the Present ”

Mindfulness, consciousness, alertness, wakefulness, responsiveness, attentiveness are terms that come to mind when speaking of living one’s life with awareness. In daily usage these terms are often used unreflectively, without the recognition that each denotes a quality that calls for a long-term process of psychological maturation. To explore this life-long process of learning how to be present to life to experience life in the present, this lecture will draw upon three traditions: Buddhism, Native American, and analytical psychology.

Lecturer: Christine Hanssens is Zurich-trained Jungian analyst with an M.A. in movement from Wesleyan University. She has a private practice in Ottawa and also works in palliative care at The
Hospice at May Court. The unifying theme in her life and work is the quest for the living relationship
between body, mind and soul. Over the past twenty years, through study and extensive experiences in
the ritual worlds of Native Americans and Buddhists, she has deepened her understanding of both.

WORKSHOP

“Presence to Life – Life in the Present ”

Workshop: In this workshop we will explore with a minimum of verbal interaction, through movement, short meditations, body scans, drawings and other creative means, how present we really are in our body and mind. The explorations will be inspired by the Buddhist and Native American traditions with a view to enable participants to carry on the inner process by themselves later on.
