The infinity connection and Cutting-Edge ideas
The Infinity Connection: ‘Infinity’ as a Universal And Unifying Concept
The word ‘Infinity’ appears in multiple languages, academic disciplines, and spiritual beliefs, suggesting that it is a universal (and, thus, potentially unifying) concept. This workshop provides insight into the Infinity concept as it is conceived in a wide range of cultures, academic contexts, and faiths. Proponents of creating a better world can potentially use the cross-cultural and multidisciplinary nature of the idea to unify diverse peoples, thereby bringing greater harmony to social relations on a global scale.
Ways to Understand and Develop Skills of Intuition
Have you ever experienced rapid and accurate insight about a person or situation without really understanding why? Intuition is often referred to as a ‘gut feeling’ or a ‘hunch’, and is a perception of facts, truth, or knowledge without relying on conscious thought. This workshop will explore the benefits of developing skills like intuition and higher awareness in everyday life. Participants will also be provided with a number of practical activities that help to enhance personal powers of intuition.
