Engaging with Eugene Gendlin's Words and Ideas
Embodied Thinking Has Wings
Facilitated by Lynn Preston
1/25 6:30 p.m., Greenwich Village. More time & place details below.
People can be empowered to think and speak . . . Language is deeply rooted in the human body . . . The words we need to say arrive directly from the body. . . One strand emerges from the bodily sense and then another and another. What needs to be said expands! . . . it carries the body forward. Eugene Gendlin, “Introduction to Thinking At the Edge”
When Gene Gendlin was a young philosophy student, he was asked which philosophy he wanted to study. He replied that he didn’t want to study the ideas of the great philosophers, but to look for the LARGER REALM AT THE EDGE OF THINKING where they found their ideas. He spent his life exploring that realm and laying out paths for us to find it also. He gave us guidelines in his work on TAE (Thinking At the Edge).
Join us for an evening of entering that larger realm of mind/body connection and enjoying the almost infinite creativity and meaning that is waiting for us there.
We will

We will
- feel into our thinking and think into our feelings
- Not only think outside the box, but open the boxes to see inside
- Allow what we “really think” to emerge and come alive and articulate itself
- Welcome our own unique individual mind/bodies to speak in their own particular voices
- Explore what it means to “have a mind of your own” and “think for yourself” when we are interaction – made of interaction.

ABOUT THE THEME of our 2018-2019 programs,
Engaging with Eugene Gendlin's Words and Ideas
Spending time with Gene's words expresses our deep appreciation and a desire to be closer to, understand and integrate more of what he has given to us into our lives. Each program of the series can stand alone, and the season as a whole may bring us on a journey of deeper understanding. Please join us for some or all!
