Open Water Thinking

Thinking, the kind that opens up new horizons, is like swimming in open water. It demands patience, surrender, a willingness to make peace with one’s finitude. This kind of thinking cannot be taught, but it can be learned, via dialogue, and this is what I offer: guided conversation in pursuit of open-water thinking.

I work one-on-one and with small groups. The benefits include interpretive maturity, a confidence reasoning extemporaneously, facility using words and other media to probe your own beliefs — and, above all, a certain inner stillness.

To give the conversation structure I often use a syllabus, emphasizing text and sound of an experimental bent. As the conversation unfolds we’ll adjust the syllabus to suit participants’ interests.

Many variations on the format are possible: workshops, retreats, writing groups, etc.
