Sunday’s Program and Reading:

We Have Questions: Knowledge and Desire, or,
What’s This Tantra Business, Anyway?

Speaker: Michael DeWilde, a core Guest Teacher at C3, is the director of the Koeze Business Ethics Initiative in the Seidman College of Business, as well as a full professor in the Management Department at GVSU. He holds an MTS from Harvard University and did his undergraduate work at William James College (GVSU). His research and teaching interests include the impact of social capital on civic and economic well-being, neuroethics, and the use of roleplaying in business pedagogy.

Musicians: The Marsupials, led by Tai Jaxx Drury, defy categorization with a diverse blend of rock, indie, funk, ska, psychedelic, and progressive elements. They’ve been electrifying audiences and delivering raucous good times throughout the Midwest since their formation in 2014.

Moment of Silence

Reading/Teaching: Michael DeWilde

Accepting that there are such things as facts requires you to be humble and to have flexibility to relinquish your position when it is shown to be wrong. (…) while the Tantra actively engages the higher mind, it also attempts to transcend the level of the intellect on which “proof” is an operative term. Here your own contemplated experience becomes primary in formulating your understanding of reality. When the wisdom of well-considered experience is joined coherently to well-grounded factual knowledge, you have a strong foundation from which to successfully navigate both the path of yoga and the world in general.

― Christopher D Wallis

If you had closed your eyes and looked inward, you would have seen me; you would have seen us. We have always been inseparable, like night and day, light and dark, flowers and fruits, and spirituality and sexuality.

― Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker
