Baltimore IONS Monthly Discussion Group: Discussion with author Theodore Richards; Wisdom Education

Baltimore IONS explores the mysteries and potential of human consciousness. Everyone is welcome! Find us on Facebook. Baltimore IONS is a local group affiliated with the Institute of Noetic Science. This month, Philosopher and author Theodore Richards will be speaking about Wisdom Education -- alternatives to the challenges of modern education. His new book, Creatively Maladjusted: The Wisdom Education Movement Manifesto, will be available at the talk.

Nearly every discussion about schools assumes that the goals of our educational system are appropriate and worthwhile.  From the White House to the little red schoolhouse, these values are seldom questioned.  The debate about schools is about test scores, productivity, and quantifiable outcomes.  In this conversation, Ted will argue that these values both undermine our children’s learning and, in the cases where children are “successful”, guide our children toward destructive, rather than creative lives.

Theodore Richards, PhD, is a poet, writer, and religious philosopher. He is a long time student of the Taoist martial art of Bagua and hatha yoga. He is the author of Cosmosophia: Cosmology, Mysticism, and the Birth of a New Myth. He lives in Chicago with his wife and daughter.

Meet the Author Sharon Strouse: Artful Grief: A Diary of Healing

Life as Sharon knew it came to an end on October 11, 2001 when she received a phone call in the middle of the night. The New York City Police told her that her 17-year old daughter Kirstin, had "fallen" from the roof of her college dormitory. That moment created a before and after, from which there was no return.Artful Grief is a suicide survivor's journey through grief. 

Sharon's suffering is raw, each moment played out in letters to Kristin with "terrifyingly beautiful" collages.  It is a story about transformation, love and hope in which darkness gives way to light. Words and image weave together in a roadmap of process. It is a profoundly personal memoir and guidebook for those whose life is altered by trauma and for survivors navigating a healing journey. Sharon is an Art Therapist who found healing after the suicide of her daughter Kristin, through collage, dreams and meditation. She is a grief and bereavement specialist and nationally acclaimed workshop presenter. She lives with her husband in Maryland, where she enjoys her art studio and private practice.
