Together with Dr. Siegel we will explore the heart of his new book. In his own words: We are in a moment of challenge and transition that invites each of us to reflect on where humanity is going and how we might choose to support cultural evolution toward a more generative way of living together on Earth. By engaging in a conversation about seeing the self as more than just centered in the body—the “solo-self”—we come to see a more integrative identity and broader belonging as including both the inner Me and the inter We in the intraconnected self of MWe. This is what the new book Interconnected is all about.”
During our evening together with Dr. Siegel we will have a chance to hear about the content of the new book, along with live-community discussion and an opportunity for live Q&A. We encourage attendees to pre-order the book to inform questions you might have. The event will be engaging and relevant for those who have read Dan’s work and those who are new to the conversation.
